What Plano homeowners should know about their solar

Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Plano, Collin County.

Your utility

Oncor is the wires utility for Collin County. Texas is deregulated, so there is no statewide net metering — your solar export credit depends on your retail electricity plan, not the utility.

Expected production

At Plano’s ~4.9 peak sun hours, a typical 7 kW system produces roughly 10,000 kWh/year. If yours is running well below that, it’s worth a service check.

Local climate

North Texas “Hail Alley” — severe spring thunderstorms regularly produce large hail; hail-rated panels and insurance review are advised.

Permits & local notes

Plano Building Inspections uses a Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application; submit and schedule via the eTRAKiT portal (972-941-7140). Home to the headquarters of Toyota Motor North America, Frito-Lay and Pizza Hut; JPMorgan Chase is its largest employer (11,000+).
