About Solar in Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City has excellent solar potential at 5.5 peak sun hours per day — among the best in the Midwest. However, OG&E's avoided-cost net metering (rather than full retail-rate) limits the financial return on excess generation. Oklahoma has no state income tax credit for solar. Despite these limitations, OKC's high sun hours and property/sales tax exemptions make it a worthwhile solar market with payback periods of 10–15 years.
