Savings & Incentives
There's more than one way to pay for it
$0 | Upfront cost with solar leasing
Skip the equipment purchase. A partner owns and maintains the solar system, and you pay a monthly bill for the solar energy it generates at a lower price than your utility power.
Eligible within Metro East, Illinois.
Financing available
Multiple financing options are available, including some with no money down. Your estimate includes both a cash price and an example financed monthly payment so you can compare your options.
Offset your bill
Most homeowners trade a rising utility bill for a lower, more predictable payment. Your estimate shows the projected system cost, potential savings, and how it could offset your electric bill.

Financing and Incentives
Brda works with St. Louis and Southern Illinois homeowners to make solar as affordable as possible, with flexible financing and programs that can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Solar With $0 Upfront Cost-+
Homeowners may qualify for a solar leasing or power purchase agreement (PPA) that requires no upfront payment. Instead of purchasing equipment, you pay only for the electricity the system produces, and these lease options are designed to be more affordable than your average utility bill.
System ownership, monitoring and maintenance are handled by a third-party provider, while Brda Electric manages the installation and ensures your system is built to perform safely and efficiently.
Homeowners may also qualify for a whole-home battery with $0 out-of-pocket cost. A battery system can be added to your new solar installation or installed as a standalone solution. Even with a battery add-on, many homeowners may still pay less overall than what they currently pay Ameren.
New Solar Incentive Opportunity for Missouri & Illinois Homeowners-+
A newly available program may allow qualifying homeowners to commercialize their solar system and take advantage of existing commercial tax credits, with potential incentives worth 50%+ of the system cost. Even homeowners without sufficient tax liability may still be able to receive approximately 25% by selling the available credit.
This is a limited-time opportunity, and eligibility and potential savings vary by household. Brda Electric can help you understand how the program may apply to your solar project.
Net Metering-+
Credits against your utility bill for surplus solar production.
Flexible Financing-+
Brda Electric offers financing options to fit your budget.
Clean Electricity Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit-+
Provides an enhanced federal investment tax credit — increasing the base solar ITC by up to 20% for qualifying clean energy projects in underserved and low-income communities.
Before You Start
Questions people ask first
Is the estimate really free?-+
Yes. Using the tool is free and there's no obligation. You'll get a personalized estimate based on your roof and electric bill, not a confirmed price. Our team completes a site visit to finalize your design and pricing.
Will you call or email me a lot?-+
We may follow up by phone or email if you'd like more detail on your estimate or want to schedule a site visit. If you'd rather explore on your own first, you can view and adjust your estimate anytime without talking to anyone.
How accurate is the solar estimate?-+
The estimate uses your address, roof imagery, electric bill, and any options you select to build a preliminary panel layout and cost estimate. You can adjust the system size, add a battery, or add an EV charger to see how it affects your estimated production and bill offset. A site visit confirms your final design and price.
Do I have to commit to anything to see it?-+
No. You can view your preliminary design and estimated savings with no obligation to move forward.
What if my roof is shaded, old, or metal?-+
Your design accounts for shading from trees and nearby structures. Older roofs may need a closer look before installation, and metal roofs are workable in most cases. We'll let you know if your home needs additional evaluation.
Can I add battery backup or an EV charger?-+
Yes. You can add battery storage, account for future EV usage, or add an EV charger directly within the estimate tool. Each addition updates your estimated cost and savings, and our licensed electricians handle the installation once your design is finalized.
