Solar power in Kansas has been growing in recent years due to new technological improvements and a variety of regulatory actions and financial incentives.[1]
It is estimated that 41.7% of electricity in Kansas could be provided by 12,500 MW of rooftop solar panels.[2]
In 2015, IKEA installed the largest solar array in the state, 730 kW on the roof of its store in Merriam.[3] In 2011, Kansas's largest solar array, 118 kW, was the rooftop installation at Peeper Ranch in Lenexa. Its output is available online.[4]
