What Red Oak homeowners should know about their solar

Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Red Oak, Ellis County.

Your utility

Oncor is the wires utility for Ellis 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 Red Oak’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” — severe spring hailstorms can damage rooftop arrays; hail-rated modules recommended.

Permits & local notes

Red Oak building department follows standard Texas permitting (site plan, single-line diagram, structural review), typically a 2-4 week process. In 2023 Google announced a $600 million data center campus on ~375 acres in Red Oak.
