For Oklahoma homeowners
Solar in Oklahoma, with the net metering rule explained straight.
Solar Assure is licensed and taking projects in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's net metering rule works monthly, not annually, and any excess is paid at the utility's avoided cost rather than retail. We'll walk you through exactly what that means for your bill instead of glossing over it.
- Monthly netting at retail rate, up to your usage. Governed by 17 O.S. 156 and OAC 165:40, Subchapter 9. Excess is credited at avoided cost, not retail.
- Honest $2.50 per watt pricing. The same published rate we quote everywhere, no teaser price that changes after a home visit.
- No invented local numbers. We don't have Oklahoma utility rate or production data loaded into our calculator yet. We'll tell you that upfront and get you real numbers from a person instead.

Why we're saying this upfront
We'd rather tell you what we don't know yet than make it up.
Solar Assure built its reputation in Missouri and Kansas on giving homeowners honest numbers instead of a sales pitch. Oklahoma is a newer market for us, and we're carrying the same rule over: no city-specific facts, utility rates, or production figures on this page unless we've actually verified them. Where we don't have a number yet, we say so, and a real quote fills in the gap with your specific address and utility.
The rule that matters most
Oklahoma net metering, monthly and at avoided cost.
This is the part of Oklahoma's rule most sites gloss over, and it changes the math meaningfully.
Oklahoma net metering is governed by 17 O.S. Section 156 and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission's rules at OAC 165:40, Subchapter 9. Your solar production is netted against your consumption at the full retail rate, but only up to your consumption in that billing period, and the netting period is monthly, not annual.
Any net excess energy generated beyond your consumption is credited, or paid, at the utility's avoided energy cost for the next billing period (OAC 165:40-9-3(b)), which is a meaningfully lower rate than retail. The net-energy-billing purchase-rate rule under OAC 165:40-9-2 applies to cogenerators and small power producers up to 300 kW.
On incentives: Oklahoma's state income tax credit for residential solar was repealed effective July 1, 1996 (68 O.S. 2357.2, repealed by Laws 1996, c. 289, Section 10). There is no state property tax exemption for solar-added home value, and no state sales tax exemption for residential solar equipment. If a claim about an Oklahoma state solar credit sounds too good, it's almost certainly out of date.
Common questions
Oklahoma solar, answered honestly.
How does net metering work in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma net metering is governed by 17 O.S. 156 and the Corporation Commission's rules at OAC 165:40, Subchapter 9. Your production is netted against your consumption at the full retail rate, but only up to your consumption in that billing period, and netting is done monthly, not annually. Any net excess energy your system generates beyond your consumption is credited or paid out at the utility's avoided energy cost for the next billing period under OAC 165:40-9-3, which is a lower rate than retail. The purchase-rate rule under OAC 165:40-9-2 applies to systems up to 300 kW.
Is there a state tax credit for solar in Oklahoma?
No. Oklahoma had a state income tax credit for residential solar, but it was repealed effective July 1, 1996 (68 O.S. 2357.2, repealed by Laws 1996, c. 289, Section 10, emergency effective). Oklahoma also has no property tax exemption for the value solar adds to your home, and no state sales tax exemption for residential solar equipment. If you see a site or salesperson claiming an Oklahoma state credit for residential solar, that claim is out of date.
How much does solar cost in Oklahoma?
Solar Assure prices residential solar at $2.50 per watt installed, the same published rate across every state we serve. We do not yet have Oklahoma-specific utility rate or production data built into our online calculator, so the numbers it shows for an Oklahoma address are national averages, not an Oklahoma-specific estimate. A real quote requires a person to confirm your local utility, rate, and roof-specific production, which Josh or Tori will do personally after you reach out.
Is Solar Assure licensed to install solar in Oklahoma?
Yes. Solar Assure is licensed in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Illinois and Colorado. We are newer to Oklahoma than to our home markets of Missouri and Kansas, so we are upfront about that: we don't have a long local install history here yet, and we are not going to invent city-specific facts, utility rates, or pricing to sound more established than we are.
Is the federal solar tax credit still available in 2026?
No. The 30 percent federal residential solar tax credit under Internal Revenue Code Section 25D expired December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21). Any company advertising a 30 percent federal credit for a new 2026 residential solar purchase in Oklahoma is either describing a third-party-owned lease or PPA arrangement (a different, commercial-side credit) or is out of date.
Josh founded Solar Assure with his wife Tori in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri. Solar Assure is licensed in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Illinois and Colorado. For Oklahoma specifically, Josh personally walks every customer through the monthly netting rule and what it means for their bill before any numbers are quoted.
