There can be solar tax credits and incentives available at the federal, state and local levels. The calculator above will show you the value of all incentives your home is eligible for.
Oklahoma has some work to do to start paving a path to a cleaner energy future. With no renewable portfolio standard (RPS) in sight, there is no motivation for utility companies to comply with clean energy laws, and no offers from them to help you install solar panels on your roof. We urge anyone who cares about being part of a cleaner energy future to demand more from your state representatives.
On this page, we cover all of the solar and battery incentives, rebates and tax credits available for your Oklahoma home. We also encourage you to use the Oklahoma solar calculator above. It allows you to drill down and show only your roof and computes a savings estimate customized to how much sun you get where you live.

Find out how much these incentives and/or Oklahoma solar tax credits will reduce your cost to go solar and add batteries
The federal solar investment tax credit will have the biggest impact on the cost you will face to go solar in Oklahoma
This perk is commonly known as the ITC, short for “Investment Tax Credit”. If you install your photovoltaic system in 2020, the federal tax credit is 26% of the cost of your solar panel system. This is 26% off the entire cost of the system including equipment, labor and permitting.
Example: If your solar energy system costs $20,000, your federal solar tax credit would be $20,000 x 26% = $5,200.
The federal tax credit falls to 22% at the end of 2022.
With net metering in some states, you get full retail rate credit for the amount of electricity you send back into the grid with your solar panels.
Net Metering requires your utility to monitor how much energy your solar power system produces and how much energy you actually consume to make sure you get credit for the surplus.
Oklahoma requires investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives to offer net metering to all customers. All systems up to 100kW are eligible, and energy in excess of the total monthly on-site usage is credited to the customer's account at the avoided cost (around 2 to 3 cents per kWh).
While that sounds like pretty solid language, overall Oklahoma’s net metering is not strong, because the utility companies are not actually required to purchase your excess electricity generation. Customers can request that their utility purchase excess generation, but the decision ultimately rests with the company, not the customer.
While Oklahoma does not have a dedicated state rebate for solar panel installation, some manufacturers like LG offer their own solar rebates. These programs are usually time sensitive. For example, LG offers a $600 solar rebate on their equipment, which your installer can help you redeem over the next year.

We had a great experience with this company! Throughout every step it was clear what was being done and what was needed from us (which was not a lot since they handle much of it). Our solar advisor was very informative and answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. We were frequently surprised by how quick he responded. The installation team was efficient, easy to work with, and left minimal impact. Everyone else we have interacted with has been kind and quick to respond. Our system has been up an running for about 2 weeks now and it is performing great! Definitely recommend getting solar and using Solar Power of Oklahoma to do so!

My Solar System 6 months In After the Freeze last February, I was desperate to find a solution for our electrical outages in the Texas Grid. The problem was I live in all electric neighborhood, with strict deed restrictions. This eliminated a generator and made solar the most viable option. The problem occurred when looking for the best installation option. If you’re looking at solar, you have probably discovered there is no limit, to the companies that will slap panels on your roof and be gone tomorrow. It is incredibly complex process, that needs a team of knowledgeable individuals. There are city permits, homeowner association approvals, and most all feasibility measurements. What I wanted was an experienced company, with specialist in critical areas, and a credible relationship with all of their vendors. I found this in Astrawatt Solar. Astrawatt Solar took measurements of the Sun on my roof and used a software program to compute the potential Solar output from my roof. I really admired the fact, that Astrawatt would not sell a system that could not produce adequate solar energy. The most remarkable thing was that the owner of the Houston site, and the owner of the company took a personal interest in my installation. They were incredibly concerned that I have power in case of an outage. They really wanted me to be able to get an adequate battery set up and have the Solar power to run it during outages. Systems are designed to fit the greatest needs of their customers. They bent over backwards to make sure 2 5KW batteries were affordable to give me a more than adequate backup system. For less than the price of a generator, and none of the maintenance cost, I have enough reserve energy to power my house for days of outage. It was so nice to have them explain which panels they would use and why, and which batteries would work best for me. The best part of this process was that they explained all my choices, and what costs would be involved. The results is I have a beast of a system that has great production, and I have an incredible back up system for a power outage. I chose to get a Lumin panel that will allow me to control my usage during a power outage, and get the most from my available power. I not only got these things but the software and training to use them to their maximum potential. Let us talk about why I really like my decision to go with Astrawatt. After the installation one of the panels was bad. There speed of repair was amazing. I was included in an email to the vendor and kept apprised of each step to get my panel in and installed. The new panel was installed and working before my system was commissioned. Before leaving after commissioning, I was given a laminated troubleshooting sheet and a phone number to contact in case of any problems. The system has been working for 6 months now, and they always respond promptly to my questions. We also hit a major snag when my old electrical box did not meet current code. This was an endearing moment when they offered to replace the box at close to their cost. I know this because I researched what another electrical company would charge to replace it. My bid was less than 60% of the other companies price. You don’t get this kind of service unless you have a local connection with a true investment in the community. The last thing that impressed me was each one of the companies that had to give approval, had a representative that the project manager was on a first name basis with. Needless to say, I got a high quality install, with the security I need and a 3.5% to 5% return on my capital investment. The bonus of having advice on how to tweak the system to get remarkable preparedness for coming power failures. What most people are curious about would be how does the beast work in Houston climate. I was commissioned on November 2, which could not be a worse scenario, for a Houston home. My first bill was $8.00 followed by $85.00 and $158.00. What I was seeing was I got into the shortest days of the days and the inefficiency of electric heat. Starting in March the bills were -$0.89 and $9.05. Currently I am using between 15 and 20KW from the grid and exporting between 25 and 30kw a day. The summer months will definitely give more than enough surplus to pay for the winter. This is the most important part, if we get rolling blackouts during the summer heat, or long term outage from storms we will have an incredible amount of power. In the oppressive heat the system produces between 8 and 10 kw hrs and I am using a maximum of 3Kws an hr. During peak usage I am sending enough electricity downline to power 2 other houses. In summary, I got a huge prize for my investment. It is enouh energy to offset my electrical usage for a year. It takes a strain of my neighborhood, during peak usage, and it pays me more interest than if I had left the money in the bank. I also get the peace of mind, that my wife will be comfortable during any power outage. Most importantly, if I need warranty work, I am confident Astrawatt will be there and give me incredible service. It is good for the country, kind to the grid, gives me security, and is an incredible capital investment.

We moved here in May of 2015. We bought a nice property that needed updating. So we did a full upgrade of the entire property. The main house is roughly 3,000 sq ft. and the guest house is 1000 sq ft. Our first energy bill was over 600 dollars. We decided to do some research on alternate energy sources. We contacted numerous Solar companies, and chose Delta Energy. From our first conversation we knew this was the company for us. The most professional people I have dealt with in a long time. They installed my system in only three days;was supposed to have taken six days. Now my energy bills are around 250.00 every month, and it is steadily going down. They come highly recommended from us. We are very satisfied...

I bought a large system for my house that I was building -12Kw. I knew very little about solar power systems but wanted to invest in it on my forever home. Anthony helped explain everything and how to size it as well as the theoretical payoff timeline for my lat/lon. His crew installed it and came back out a few times to reconfigure the panels and inverter and troubleshoot a problem with one of the strings. He installed a Generac for emergency power, explaining that battery emergency power is only for very short periods and won't power the entire house. The Generac is a big investment but living in tornado alley meant I needed to plan for "when" I will lose power, not "if" I will lose power.
