Edmond Electric solar

Oklahoma pairs some of the cheapest solar installs in the country with some of the cheapest electricity, and that tension shapes every number in this guide. Panels run $2.58-$2.64 a watt, a typical 7.42 kW system costs about $19,589 before incentives, and the state gets strong sun — about 1,559 kilowatt-hours a year from every installed kilowatt. What the panels earn is governed by monthly net metering: generation cancels consumption one-for-one at the full retail rate inside the same bill, and only month-end surplus drops to roughly 3-4 cents a kilowatt-hour. There is no state tax credit, no sales-tax break, and no utility rebate, and the 30% federal credit is $0 for a homeowner-owned system installed in 2026. Payback lands near 12 years in PSO territory and around 16 years statewide on the larger marketplace average, with OG&E — the biggest utility in the state — publishing no payback figure of its own. Every size gets priced here, the four big cities get compared, the net-metering rules and the 125% sizing cap get explained, and the guide finishes by naming the households that still come out ahead in Oklahoma — and the ones that should wait.
