Santa Maria, Texas residents are served by AEP Texas, which charges $0.16 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 3% below the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,756 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.
An 8 kW solar system in Santa Maria can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $1,561 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $56,911 in total savings. The estimated payback period is 14.3 years.
AEP Texas is an investor-owned utility serving Santa Maria and surrounding communities. Heat pump rebates of up to $500 are also available for Santa Maria homeowners.
The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025, making state and utility incentives more important than ever. NuWatt Energy installs solar panels, heat pumps, EV chargers, and battery storage directly in Santa Maria—no subcontractors or lead-selling middlemen. We handle every step from system design through AEP Texas interconnection.
