Texas residents across 78 towns and cities are served by 13 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 11.0¢ to 16.3¢ per kWh. The state average of 12.6¢/kWh provides a competitive environment for solar adoption. At this rate, a typical 8 kW solar system saves approximately $1,209 per year.
The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. This means homeowners who buy solar with cash or a loan no longer receive a federal tax credit. State and utility-level rebates are now the primary way to reduce your solar investment. Third-party owned systems (leases and PPAs) still qualify for 30% under Section 48/48E.
77% of Texas utilities offer net metering, allowing solar homeowners to earn bill credits for excess energy.Browse the towns below to see exact rates, incentives, and savings estimates for your specific location.
