What Richardson homeowners should know about their solar

Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Richardson, Dallas & Collin counties.

Your utility

Oncor is the wires utility for Dallas & Collin counties. 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 Richardson’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” — damaging spring hailstorms are the dominant risk to PV panels.

Permits & local notes

Richardson Building Inspection requires building and electrical permits; systems 10 kW+ need plan review with a PE-stamped structural letter (972-744-4180). Home of the University of Texas at Dallas (~445-acre campus) and the Telecom Corridor.
