Solar in Princeton

What Princeton homeowners should know about their solar

Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Princeton, Collin County.

Your utility

Oncor is the wires utility for Collin County. Texas is deregulated, so there is no statewide net metering — your solar export credit depends on your retail electricity plan, not the utility.

Expected production

At Princeton’s ~4.9 peak sun hours, a typical 7 kW system produces roughly 10,000 kWh/year. If yours is running well below that, it’s worth a service check.

Local climate

North Texas “Hail Alley” — frequent severe spring hailstorms, damaging winds and tornado risk.

Permits & local notes

Princeton has a codified solar PV ordinance (§155.231): a building permit is required, and ground-mounts under two acres must be screened (972-736-2416). Named the fastest-growing city in the U.S. by the Census Bureau — ~17,027 in 2020 to ~43,500 by 2025.
