Texas residents across 78 towns and cities are served by 14 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 11.0¢ to 16.0¢ per kWh. These rates create a competitive environment for solar adoption.On the lowest rate ($11.0¢/kWh), a typical 8 kW system saves at least $$1,056/year — your savings scale up with your utility's rate.
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.
79% of Texas utilities offer net metering, allowing solar homeowners to earn bill credits for excess energy. The state has 10 municipal utilities, many offering their own rebate programs independent of statewide programs.Browse the towns below to see exact rates, incentives, and savings estimates for your specific location.
