Midland/Odessa solar questions
Is solar worth it in Midland and Odessa?
The sun resource is among the best in Texas at roughly 5.6 peak sun hours a day, and cooling loads are high, so a correctly sized system offsets a large share of a typical Permian Basin home's usage.
Can I choose who pays me for exported solar here?
Yes. The Permian Basin is deregulated, so you can switch to a retail plan with solar buyback. We help you compare plans before your system is energized.
Does dust from the oilfield affect panel output?
It can, over time. Periodic cleaning restores production, and we offer inspection and cleaning as a scheduled service call.
Who permits solar in Midland and Odessa?
The city building department issues the electrical permit and Oncor approves interconnection. We handle both filings.
