Updated Data verified Nov 5, 2026

Net billing (exports credited below retail). Under 17 O.S. 156 and OAC 165:40-9, utilities regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission offer net metering to distributed generation of 300 kW or less. Excess production is purchased at the utility's avoided energy cost and paid or credited in the next billing cycle.

State rules that apply

  • What the rule says: “Utilities must purchase any excess production, or any energy supplied by the DG facility above that consumed at that location”[1]

What it means for sizing and batteries

When exports earn much less than retail, each kWh you use at home as it is produced is worth more than one you export. Size to your daytime and evening use, shift loads (laundry, dishwasher, EV charging) to sunny hours or the plan's off-peak window, and price a battery against the gap between the retail and export rates.

The calculator uses the statewide rule until we add utility rates. See what solar costs in Oklahoma.
