What could it save?
For an 800 W panel kit at Oklahoma's average residential price of 13.81¢/kWh (September 2025 – August 2026 (12 months)):
- Ideal tilt (20°, south)
- 1,225 kWh a year: about $117 typical (69% used at home), up to $169 best case (100%)
- Vertical railing (90°, south)
- 766 kWh a year: about $73 typical (69% used at home), up to $106 best case (100%)
"Typical" uses HTW Berlin's model for an 800 W system without a battery; exports are assumed to earn nothing. Solar data: NREL PVWatts for Oklahoma City (capital). Try your own numbers · Is it worth it? · Railing vs tilted

Is plug-in solar legal in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma has no plug-in solar law. Without one, small plug-in systems fall under your utility's own interconnection rules. Ask your utility before you connect anything.
