Oncor’s 2026 Solar Photovoltaic Program offers a variable, project-specific incentive of up to $9,000 for an eligible residential solar project. The incentive is paid to the participating service provider, so homeowners should obtain written confirmation of the amount that will be credited toward their project price.

The home must be in Oncor’s electric-delivery territory, and the project must use an approved participating provider and receive Oncor interconnection approval. The 2026 manual allows solar with or without storage; it limits residential system size to 20 kW DC or 75% of the site’s maximum demand over the prior 12 months, as applicable. Existing solar can make a site ineligible. Funds are limited, and the stated 2026 production-period deadline is November 30, 2026, so confirm availability and requirements before signing or beginning construction.

TXU Energy Battery Rewards offers a $150 digital reward card every six months to eligible enrolled customers, for up to $300 per year while they remain eligible. The program requires an eligible Enphase battery and rooftop solar; participants must keep at least 20% of battery capacity available under the stated program terms.

Participants make their battery available for dispatch during program events. TXU’s terms state that customers who do not participate in at least 90% of dispatch events may be unenrolled, and the customer must remain an active TXU Energy customer when a reward is fulfilled. Review current terms and confirm equipment eligibility before enrollment.

Published program information describes a $50 payment for each participating month for customers enrolled in Gexa Battery Benefits. The payment is tied to making an eligible Enphase battery available for Gexa’s peak-demand dispatch; it is not an upfront battery-purchase rebate.

Eligibility, enrollment availability, dispatch obligations, and payment conditions depend on the current Gexa program terms and the customer’s electricity plan. Confirm the details directly with Gexa before relying on the monthly amount. An official Gexa program link was not available in the supplied search results.

Texas Tax Code §11.27 provides a property-tax exemption for the increase in appraised value attributable to a qualifying solar energy device used primarily to produce and distribute energy for on-site use. This is not a cash rebate; it can reduce the taxable appraised value attributable to the qualifying equipment.

Homeowners generally apply through their county appraisal district using the Comptroller’s Form 50-123 and should check local filing procedures and documentation requirements. A battery’s eligibility may depend on whether it qualifies as part of a solar energy device and on the appraisal district’s application of the law, so do not assume every battery installation qualifies automatically.

Texas does not provide a statewide net-metering program or a uniform required buyback rate for residential solar exports. The financial value of electricity sent to the grid depends on the retail electricity provider and the specific plan available at the home, rather than being set by a single statewide solar credit.

Before choosing a plan, homeowners should review the written export-credit rate, how credits are calculated and carried forward, whether credits expire, and whether delivery charges or other fees apply. In Oncor territory, Oncor handles electric delivery and interconnection, while the retail provider determines the plan’s export-compensation terms.
