How to Claim the Oncor Solar Rebate & Understand Net Metering in Texas

Because Texas operates a deregulated energy market (ERCOT), Oncor is your transmission and delivery utility, but they do not sell you the electricity. To get "net metering" (getting credited for the excess solar power you send back to the grid), you must choose a Retail Electric Provider (REP) that offers a strong solar buyback program. SunBeam Innovations helps you select the best REP for your Oncor-connected solar system so you get maximum value for every kilowatt you produce.

Oncor offers cash rebates for residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery storage installations. However, Oncor does not issue these rebates directly to homeowners. The rebate must be claimed and processed by an approved, registered service provider—like SunBeam Innovations.

These incentive budgets are released annually and deplete strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wait until the summer to apply, the funding is typically already gone.

Dealing with Oncor’s strict interconnection guidelines can be a headache for a homeowner. Our dedicated operations team completely removes this friction. We design your system to meet Oncor's exact technical requirements, submit the interconnection agreements, file for your rebate allocation, and coordinate the final Permission to Operate (PTO) inspection.
