Solar Incentives Available in Tulsa

Solar incentives in Tulsa come in three layers. First, every homeowner qualifies for the 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit on the full installed cost, claimed on IRS Form 5695. Oklahoma does not add a state income tax credit, so the federal credit is the main up-front incentive. Third, PSO sets the local rules for crediting the solar power you export.

Public Service of Oklahoma credits exported solar below retail, so Tulsa systems are best sized to self-consume.
