Arlington Solar Incentives 2025: Tax Credits and Rebates You Can't Miss
Arlington homeowners can save thousands on solar installations with federal, state, and local incentives available in 2025. Understanding these programs helps maximize your investment and accelerate your solar payback period.
Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
The federal ITC provides a 30% tax credit on your solar system's total cost, including equipment, installation, and permits. For a typical $20,000 Arlington installation, this saves $6,000 directly off your federal taxes. This valuable credit is scheduled to end in 2025, making timing crucial.
Texas Property Tax Exemption
Texas law exempts solar installations from property tax increases. While solar adds significant value to your home—typically 70% of system cost—you won't pay additional property taxes on this increased value. This Arlington-specific benefit saves hundreds annually for the life of your system.
Oncor Battery Storage Rebates
Arlington residents served by Oncor can receive rebates up to $9,000 for solar-plus-battery systems. These programs incentivize energy storage to reduce grid stress during peak demand periods common in North Texas summers.
Oncor Rebate Tiers
- Residential systems: Up to $2,500 per installation
- Battery storage: Additional $2,000-$9,000
- Smart inverter bonuses available
Net Metering and Buyback Programs
Arlington homeowners can choose from multiple retail electric providers offering solar buyback plans. Programs like TXU's Solar Buyback Match and Green Mountain's Solar Credit plans provide credits for excess energy production, maximizing the value of your solar investment.
Local Utility Incentives
Several Arlington-area utility companies offer additional rebates for solar installations. CoServ provides tiered rebates based on system size, while some municipal utilities offer performance-based incentives for verified energy production.
Financing Options and Additional Savings
Solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements make solar accessible with $0 down. Many Arlington homeowners find their monthly solar payment is less than their previous electricity bill, creating immediate positive cash flow while building long-term equity.
Combined Incentive Example
A typical Arlington solar installation scenario:
- System cost: $20,000
- Federal ITC (30%): -$6,000
- Oncor rebates: -$2,500
- Net cost: $11,500
- Annual savings: $1,800
- Payback period: 6.4 years

Why 2025 Is Critical
Some incentive programs have limited funding or annual caps. The federal ITC is scheduled to end after 2025, making this year potentially your last opportunity to capture the full 30% tax credit. Acting now ensures access to maximum available incentives.
