Dallas-area customers are served by Oncor, which manages the grid connection for solar systems. Oncor requires an interconnection agreement and inspection for any new solar array. They outline a clear step-by-step interconnection process: your installer submits an application, Oncor reviews and approves the design, and after city inspection, Oncor grants Permission To Operate and reprograms your meter for two-way measurement. It’s important to know that Oncor does not offer net metering credits directly, since the region is deregulated – however, many Retail Electric Providers offer buy-back plans for surplus solar energy. Oncor does administer a Solar Incentive Program (part of Texas’s energy efficiency programs) that helps offset upfront costs for installations. This utility resource helps Dallas residents navigate connecting their solar panels to Oncor’s grid safely and taking advantage of any available incentives.
