Rodger Nugent’s electrical bills were cut by more than 60% after he installed solar panels nearly two years ago. Nugent is one of about 10 residents in North Newton who have solar panels on their roofs. He said he was lucky in that he received the solar panels gratis from Howard Schrag. Otherwise, he said converting one’s residence to solar could be kind of expensive. He installed infrastructure underneath each panel himself, and his bills have gone from $120 per month to between $30 and $40. “When I started this process, Evergy made it pretty weird and hard,” he said. What changed in April 2020, however, was that the Kansas Supreme Court ruled against Evergy for charging customers who generate their own power extra fees.
