Garland Power & Light

Garland Power & Light serves customers in Garland in Texas with a residential electricity rate of $0.12 per kWh. This is 29% below the national average of $0.168/kWh, though solar still delivers strong returns with today’s lower installation prices.

At current rates, a typical Garland Power & Light household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,296 per year on electricity. An 8 kW solar system can offset most or all of that usage, saving an estimated $1,152 annually and $42,001 over the 25-year life of the system. The estimated payback period is 19.3 years.

As a municipal utility, Garland Power & Light sets its own rates and policies independently. Garland Power & Light offers net metering, allowing solar customers to receive credits for excess energy sent back to the grid. Heat pump rebates of up to $600 are also available.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. State and utility-level incentives are now the primary financial benefits for homeowners going solar. NuWatt Energy handles the entire process from system design through permits and Garland Power & Light interconnection, ensuring you receive every available rebate.
