Solar panels in Muskogee, OK

Roofs in Muskogee get about 1,707 hours of usable sunlight a year — more than 70% of the cities we've measured. Here's what that means in cost, savings and payback, using real rooftop data rather than a national average.

Check your specific roof in Muskogee → City averages are a starting point; your own roof's size, pitch and shading change the answer a lot.

What a typical Muskogee solar system costs

A 19-panel system (7.6 kW) is about right for an average Muskogee home using 10,800 kWh a year. It would produce roughly 11,027 kWh annually and offset 100% of that usage.

Notice that payback barely improves as systems get bigger, and eventually gets worse. That's because you can only save money on electricity you were going to buy anyway. Once a system covers your usage, extra panels mostly generate exports at a much lower rate.

Why Muskogee gets 1,707 sun hours

That figure comes from Google's analysis of real rooftops across Muskogee — it already accounts for shading from trees, chimneys and neighbouring buildings, which is why it's lower than the raw "hours of daylight" figures you'll see elsewhere. An unusually open, unshaded roof in Muskogee reaches about 1,752 hours, roughly 3% better than typical.

When Muskogee actually produces

Annual totals hide the thing that catches people out: 34% of Muskogee's yearly sunlight arrives in May–July, and just 15% across November–January.

Muskogee produces about 2.5× as much in Jun as in Dec — a normal mid-latitude swing. Expect real winter shortfall and summer surplus rather than steady year-round output.

The annual total is measured from Google's rooftop imagery. Its split across months is calculated from solar geometry at Muskogee's latitude, not separately measured, so treat the monthly figures as the shape of a typical year rather than a forecast.

How Muskogee compares to the other 673 cities

What actually stands out about Muskogee:

• Roof space is the binding constraint. A typical Muskogee roof fits about 30 panels and a typical home needs 19 — so there is little room to oversize. If you add an EV or heat pump later, plan the array for it now.
• Small roofs. The median Muskogee roof is 83 m², smaller than 96% of cities measured — worth checking your own footprint before assuming a standard system fits.
• Cheap electricity is the headwind. Oklahoma power costs about 12.1¢/kWh. Low rates are good news generally, but they lengthen solar payback — there is simply less bill to displace.
• Older imagery. Google's aerial capture of Muskogee dates from 2018. Tree growth and new construction since then are not reflected.

Cities with almost the same sunlight

These are the closest matches to Muskogee's 1,707 usable sun hours from other states and provinces. Same sunlight, different electricity prices — which is usually what decides whether solar is worth it.
