Is Plug-In Solar Legal in Texas?

Gray area   Avg rate ~15¢/kWh

No statewide ban, and a deregulated market means rules vary by retail provider and local utility. Many Texans run small kits; confirm your provider's stance on behind-the-meter generation.

Before you buy in Texas

Call your electric utility and ask: (1) do they allow small plug-in / behind-the-meter grid-tied solar, and (2) is any notification or interconnection form required? Stay within the wattage they specify, use a UL-listed microinverter, and keep written confirmation.

Then estimate your numbers with our savings calculator (pre-loaded with Texas's rate).
