FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

If your question isn’t here, call or text us at (405) 254-6353 and we’ll answer it.

Cost and savings

Is solar worth it in Oklahoma without the federal tax credit?

For many homes, yes, and for some, no. It depends on your electric bill, your roof or land, and your utility. We size every system to what you actually use, because Oklahoma utilities pay a low rate for extra power sent to the grid. If solar doesn’t make sense for your home, we’ll tell you.

How much does solar cost?

Most systems cost between $1.75 and $2.25 per watt installed. For a typical 8 kW system, that’s about $14,000 to $18,000. See our pricing page for more.

Is there still a federal tax credit?

The residential credit (Section 25D) ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025. A separate commercial credit (Section 48E) still applies to business-owned systems, which have to be placed in service by December 31, 2027. Tax situations vary, so please check with a tax professional about yours.

How does my utility pay me for extra power?

With OG&E and PSO, your usage is netted against what your panels produce, and extra power is bought at a low rate. Electric co-ops set their own rules. We check your utility’s current terms before we design anything.

The guarantee and your contract

What does the production guarantee cover?

If your system produces less than 90% of the estimate in your agreement during a guaranteed year, we pay you for the missing power. Cash buyers are covered for the first year, and financed buyers for their full financing term, up to 7 years. Read the guarantee.

Do I own the system?

Yes, once your system passes inspection and the utility approves it to operate, whether you pay cash or finance. If you finance, we hold a security interest in the system until it’s paid off, and it ends automatically at payoff.

What happens if I sell my home?

The buyer can take over your agreement, or you can pay off the balance at closing. We provide payoff statements within 5 business days.

Can I cancel?

For a sale made at your home, Oklahoma gives you 3 business days to cancel. You can read the terms ahead of time in our sample agreements.

Installation and equipment

How long does installation take?

The install itself usually takes 1 to 3 days. Permits and utility approval take longer, and timing varies by utility and city. Your proposal includes an honest timeline.

What equipment do you use?

Most systems use JA Solar panels and Growatt inverters. Your proposal lists the exact models and manufacturer warranties for your system.

Can I add a battery?

Yes, with a new system or added to an existing one. Learn about battery backup.

Do you do off-grid systems?

Yes, for properties where the utility isn’t practical. We’ll also tell you honestly when staying connected is the better choice. Learn about off-grid power.

After your system is on

What if something stops working?

Your equipment is covered by manufacturer warranties, and our workmanship warranty covers the installation. Simply Solar Care adds monitoring and help with warranty claims. See service and support.

Can you service a system you didn’t install?

Yes. Simply Solar Care is open to any residential solar owner, including when the original installer has closed or moved away.
