Solar Generation

PLEASE NOTE:
Edmond Electric has become aware that some solar door-to-door salespeople are stating that they are partnered with Edmond Electric or Edmond Electric approved contractors. Some are stating that we are encouraging customers to install solar because our electric distribution system cannot handle the demand. These statements are FALSE.

If you are approached by a vendor making these claims, please report that to 405-216-7660, and know that Edmond Electric is ready to help answer any questions you may have.

First, Edmond Electric does not endorse, recommend, or partner with any particular company selling solar generation systems. Second, our electric distribution system is completely capable of supplying reliable service to our customers.
