How do I get the Oncor solar rebate?

The Oncor incentive is paid directly to participating service providers (installers) who then pass the savings to you as a discount on your project. You cannot apply for it yourself; you must use an approved installer like NationPro.

Does Oncor require a battery for the solar rebate?

For the 2026 program, the most significant incentives are reserved for systems that include battery storage. This helps Oncor manage peak demand on the grid.

Which electricity company has the best solar buyback in Dallas?

This changes frequently, but currently, companies like Almond, Rhythm Energy, and Gexa Energy offer competitive solar buyback plans. Avoid plans that offer 'free nights' as they typically offer poor solar export rates.

Oncor Wants to Pay for Your Battery. Let Them.

The Oncor Residential Solar Program is back for 2026. Get substantial incentives when you install Solar + Battery storage in the DFW area.

Funds are limited. First-come, first-served.

How the Oncor Solar Program Actually Works

There is a lot of misinformation about the Oncor rebate. Here is the truth: Oncor does not mail a check to you. They send the check to your installer to lower your upfront cost.

Battery Required

To get the biggest incentive, you must install a battery storage system (like a Tesla Powerwall or Enphase 5P) alongside your panels. Oncor pays this to reduce grid strain.

Pass-Through Savings

NationPro is an approved partner. We deduct the Oncor incentive incentive directly from your invoice, lowering your loan amount immediately.

The Value

Incentives can range up to $9,000+ depending on system size, battery capacity, and azimuth (direction) of your roof.

The Oncor Rebate Reality

The "Hidden" Incentive: 1:1 Buyback Plans

Because Dallas is deregulated, you don’t buy power from Oncor. You buy it from a Retail Electric Provider (REP). Choosing the wrong one can cost you thousands.

The "Good" Guys

We help you switch to plans from providers like Almond, Rhythm, or Gexa that offer 'Real-Time' or '1:1' credits for your solar exports.

The "Bad" Guys

Avoid 'Free Nights & Weekends' plans if you have solar. They often give you zero credit for the solar power you send to the grid during the day.

The Dallas Incentive Stack

Combine these three programs to maximize your ROI:

Oncor Incentive

Upfront discount for Solar + Battery (Paid to installer).

30% Federal Tax Credit

laim 30% of the remaining cost on your IRS Form 5695.

Property Tax Exemption

Your home value goes up, but your Dallas County property taxes stay the same (100% Exemption).

Why Dallas Homes Need Batteries

It’s not just about the Oncor rebate. In Dallas, we face frequent storm outages and extreme heat advisories.” “A solar system without a battery turns off when the Oncor grid goes down. A system with a battery keeps your AC and fridge running. Since Oncor is practically paying for the battery, getting one is a no-brainer.
