Things to Know in Oklahoma
- Some of the country's lowest electricity prices are in Oklahoma (average of 9.09 cents/kWh for all sectors in 2024, ranked 48th), so a plug-in kit pays back more slowly.
- Your utility buys excess solar you send to the grid only at its avoided cost, so plug-in kits pay best when you use the output at home.
Do you rent, or are you on a balcony?
The mount is your landlord's or HOA's call, and the hookup is Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E)'s. See balcony solar and apartment solar.
