Welcome to the SMART SourceSM Solar PV�Program

The SMART Source Solar�PV�Program is designed to help customers of AEP Texas meet a portion of their energy needs with solar electric systems. The Program offers financial incentives that help offset the initial cost of installing a solar energy system. By installing solar on your home or business, you can generate a portion of your own electricity and help the environment.

NOTICE: Only solar installation companies that are enrolled with the program can apply for and receive incentives, and all commercial installation work must begin after an incentive commitment has been made. Unenrolled installers, or installers who claim that you will be able to apply for an incentive after the installation is complete, may be engaging in fraud, and you will not be able to receive an incentive if you work with them. Please see our list of enrolled installers here.
