About the chart above:
Here’s the state by state listing of solar rebates for 2010. In the left column, we list the expected amount of rebate for a 5kW residential solar energy system installed by state. Rebate program details were sourced from the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency in August of 2010. Rebate grades are worth 5% of the overall summary report card (see the pie chart in the Part 2 summary grades).

Why is Missouri at the bottom? The 2 largest utilities (KCPL & Ameren) offer a $2/watt rebate, which would be $10,000 on a 5kw system.
Hello ab,
You’re right, those are large service areas. Initially, we had thought they were much smaller. We’ll have to update the rebates grade for Missouri. Thanks!
Please fill me in on this $12,500 rebate in Texas. I can not find any information about this.
Hi Justin,
Here’s a long list of utility companies offering rebates of $12k for solar energy in Texas. While this is not statewide, the number of utilities participating was significant enough to note.
