Home solar in Oklahoma
Oklahoma's net metering nets solar against your use at full retail each billing period, but any extra is bought only at the utility's avoided energy cost (a wholesale market price), and there is no state solar rebate or tax break for homes.

Net metering Net metering available
Under 17 O.S. §156 and OCC rule OAC 165:40-9, systems up to 300 kW can net their production against use at the same address at full retail, but only up to what they use in the billing period. Extra power is bought by the utility at its avoided energy cost (tied to Southwest Power Pool prices) and paid or credited on the next bill. Production is limited to about 125% of the home's expected use. OG&E and PSO run this as a Net Energy Billing Option. Source

Timeline
- SB 1456 lets utilities propose separate charges for new solar customers
- Current OCC net metering rule takes effect
- Federal 30% homeowner tax credit (25D) ends
Federal tax credits
The 30% federal tax credit for homeowners who buy solar (Section 25D) ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025, so buying no longer earns a federal credit. If you lease or sign a power purchase agreement (PPA), the panels belong to a company that may still claim a business credit under federal deadlines that tighten through 2027. Ask your installer whether that savings is in your price.
