Solar Panels in Lubbock, TX

Lubbock, Texas residents are served by Lubbock Power & Light, which charges $0.13 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 23% below the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,404 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Lubbock can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $1,248 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $45,501 in total savings. The estimated payback period is 18.1 years.
