What Tyler homeowners should know about their solar

Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Tyler, Smith County.

Your utility

Oncor is the wires utility for Smith 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 Tyler’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

East Texas — hot humid summers with strong sun and frequent severe spring/early-summer thunderstorms bringing hail and damaging winds.

Permits & local notes

Tyler Development Services handles permits/plans electronically via the eTRAKiT portal. Tyler is “The Rose Capital of America”; its Municipal Rose Garden spans ~14 acres with 38,000+ rose bushes, the largest public rose collection in the U.S.
