Frequently Asked Questions
Home automation and solar in the Oklahoma City metro — plus our software work
Is home solar worth it in Oklahoma?
It can be, especially as electricity rates rise. Oklahoma gets strong sun, and OG&E offers net metering that credits you for excess power your system sends back to the grid. Whether solar pays off for your specific home depends on your roof orientation, shading, your average bill, and current incentives like the federal tax credit.
We give an honest assessment for your address rather than a one-size-fits-all pitch — sometimes the answer is that solar isn't the right fit yet, and we'll tell you that.
How does OG&E net metering work for home solar?
With net metering, when your solar panels produce more electricity than your home is using, the excess flows back to the grid and OG&E credits your account. At night or on cloudy days you draw normal grid power, and over a billing cycle you pay for your net usage. The exact credit structure and any fees depend on OG&E's current tariff, which we review with you as part of designing the system.
What smart home system should I use if I want it to just work?
The best system is the one that fits how you actually live, not the one with the most features. We design around reliable, well-supported platforms (such as Home Assistant, and the major ecosystems like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Home) and choose devices that play well together so you don't end up with a drawer of abandoned apps.
Because we're software engineers first, we build automations that keep working instead of breaking every time a device updates.
What areas do you serve for home energy and automation?
We serve the Oklahoma City metro and surrounding communities, including Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Mustang, Midwest City, Del City, Bethany, and nearby areas. If you're not sure whether you're in range, just ask through our contact form.
How do I get a quote, and how fast will I hear back?
Use the contact form. You'll get a ticket number immediately and a reply within one business day. Tell us your address (or city), what you're interested in, and any details like roughly what your electric bill runs or what you'd like to automate, and we'll get you an accurate next step.
What kind of software projects does DEV Limited take on?
We focus on custom web applications, rapid prototypes, and proofs-of-concept for emerging or unconventional technology — the projects other firms decline. That includes VR/AR applications, hardware and API integrations, and experimental builds using React, Node.js, Python, Firebase, Unity, and Unreal Engine. We serve software clients nationwide, and we don't do cookie-cutter template sites.
How fast can you build a prototype or proof-of-concept?
It depends on scope, but rapid prototyping is a core specialty — many proofs-of-concept come together in a matter of weeks rather than months. Reach out through the contact form with a description of what you're trying to validate and we'll give you a realistic timeline.
