What Panel Work Costs in Southlake
A 100-amp to 200-amp panel replacement in Southlake typically runs $2,200–$4,800 all in, including the panel, breakers, permit, inspection and labor. That is a typical range, not your price. Panel prices vary with material costs, the size of the panel and service, and how complex the job is.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Straightforward swap to a single 200-amp panel (from 100 amps), all in | $2,200–$4,800 |
| Meter base, service mast or grounding work | Included in the quote when the service entrance needs it |
| 400-amp service, or an added 200-amp panel feeding a separate building such as a shop | Quoted after an on-site load calculation |

Permits & Power in Southlake
Who issues the permit
Electrical permits for work in Southlake are issued by the city, and it is the city that inspects the finished work. Requirements, fees and inspection scheduling differ from one DFW city to the next.
Clements Electric pulls the permit and schedules the inspection as part of the job. Texas Electrical Contractor TECL #40628.
Who owns the wires
Most Southlake addresses are served by Oncor Electric Delivery. Part of the city is served by Tri-County Electric Cooperative instead — utility territory does not follow city limits.
This matters on a service or panel upgrade: the utility named on your electric bill is the one that has to disconnect and then release the meter before the new service can be energized. Worth checking your bill before scheduling, and we coordinate that call either way.
Solar Panels & a Standby Generator in Southlake
If your Southlake home has grid-tied solar, the solar has to connect on the utility side of the generator’s transfer switch, between the meter and the switch, so the generator can never feed the solar inverters. We explain why in adding a standby generator to a home with solar panels. How that connection is made depends on the utility that serves your address, and more than one serves Southlake: Oncor Electric Delivery or Tri-County Electric Cooperative. Check the name on your electric bill, because utility territory does not follow city limits.
Oncor Electric Delivery (delivery utility)
- Disconnect: A visible, lockable, labeled AC disconnect is required between the Oncor meter and every source of distributed generation, within 10 feet of the meter unless special placards are used. Oncor states that molded-case breakers are not an acceptable disconnect.
- Meter socket: The meter socket is reserved for Oncor metering. No meter collars or other devices may be installed in it or between the meter and the socket.
- Generator and transfer switch: The generator transfer switch must be installed on the load side of the meter base, never integrated with or in series with the meter. Oncor asks installers to confirm whether the transfer switch is open or closed transition.
- Solar approval: Solar needs an Oncor interconnection application, and Oncor treats a system as certified when it meets UL 1741 and the applicable parts of IEEE 1547.
Sources: Oncor Electric Service Guidelines (February 2025), sections 100.01.18, 500.06 and 700; Oncor Residential/Small Commercial Project Requirements (May 2025). Checked 2026-09-30.
Tri-County Electric Cooperative (electric cooperative)
- Disconnect: Tri-County requires a visible, load-break disconnect no more than 6 feet from its revenue meter, lockable open with a Tri-County lock.
- Meter socket: Call Tri-County before cutting the meter seal or entering the meter base, or it counts as tampering. Tri-County lists double- and triple-lug connectors as authorized, and piercing connectors, Polaris lugs, wire nuts and double-tapped wires as unauthorized.
- Supply-side tap: Tri-County's distributed generation checklist states: "Tri-County Electric Cooperative does not accept line-side taps." That rules out the usual supply-side solar connection, so on a Tri-County home the solar connection method is agreed with Tri-County in writing before we quote.
- Generator and transfer switch: Tri-County requires a Generator Interconnection form. The transfer switch must be UL 1008 listed (not 1008M), accessible from outside, and within 6 feet of the meter, or within 3 feet if it serves as the service disconnect. Interlock kits and meter-mount transfer switches are not accepted.
- Solar approval: Solar applications are online, with a $500 fee per application and a $12 monthly distributed generation charge. Tri-County issues permission to operate after a satisfactory final inspection, and warns of tampering charges including a $2,500 fee if a system is turned on without approval.
- Not published by Tri-County Electric Cooperative: a UL 1741 inverter requirement (its manual cites IEEE 1547). We confirm these with the utility in writing before the job rather than assume another utility’s rule applies.
