How Much Can Oklahoma Homeowners Save with Solar?

Oklahoma homeowners are increasingly turning to solar energy to escape rising utility costs. With abundant sunshine and favorable conditions, the Sooner State is one of the best places in the country to go solar. But how much can you actually save?

Understanding Your Potential Savings

The amount you can save with solar depends on several factors:

1. Your Current Electric Bill

The higher your current electricity costs, the more you stand to save. Most Oklahoma homeowners we work with pay between $150-$300 per month in electricity bills. Over 25 years, that adds up to:

$150/month = $45,000 in electricity costs
$200/month = $60,000 in electricity costs
$300/month = $90,000 in electricity costs

2. System Size and Production

A typical residential solar system in Oklahoma produces enough energy to offset 80-100% of your electricity usage. Here’s what a standard 8kW system might look like:

Annual Production: ~11,000 kWh
Monthly Average:   ~917 kWh
Daily Average:     ~30 kWh

3. Available Incentives

Don’t forget about incentives that reduce your upfront costs:

Federal Solar Tax Credit (30%) - Deduct 30% of installation costs from your federal taxes
Net Metering - Sell excess energy back to the grid
Property Tax Exemption - Solar doesn’t increase your property taxes in Oklahoma

Pro Tip: The federal tax credit is scheduled to decrease after 2032, so now is the best time to lock in the full 30% benefit.

Real Numbers from Real Customers

Here’s what some of our Oklahoma City metro customers have experienced:

Home Size	System Size	Monthly Savings	25-Year Savings
1,500 sq ft	6 kW	$120	$36,000
2,200 sq ft	8 kW	$180	$54,000
3,000 sq ft	10 kW	$240	$72,000

Results vary based on energy usage, roof orientation, and other factors.

The Bottom Line

For most Oklahoma homeowners, solar panels pay for themselves in 7-10 years and continue generating free electricity for another 15-20 years beyond that. That means decades of savings on energy costs while also increasing your home’s value.
