Ampco Electric, Inc.

Ampco Electric has operated as a family-owned electrical contractor in the Tulsa area since 1999, and the company's transition into a meaningful solar installation business is one of the more credible electrical-to-solar pivots our research team reviewed in Oklahoma. Headquartered at 2436 North Lewis Avenue in Tulsa, Ampco has positioned itself as Green Country's premier installer of residential and commercial solar panel systems, and the firm reports more than 500 completed solar installations to date across Tulsa, Owasso, Jenks, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Sapulpa, and Glenpool.

What stood out to our research team is that this is not a roofing or generator company that added 'solar' to its branding without depth. Ampco's solar team holds NABCEP certification — the gold-standard professional credential for photovoltaic installers — and the team is fully licensed, bonded, and insured under Oklahoma's electrical contractor requirements. Because solar PV installation in Oklahoma legally requires a state electrician's license (Oklahoma has no separate solar-specific licensing), Ampco's underlying electrical-contracting foundation is a structural advantage. The same crews installing panels are licensed to perform service-panel upgrades, run new circuits, and handle interconnection wiring, which can compress project timelines compared to firms that subcontract electrical work.

The broader credential stack reinforces that picture. Beyond solar, Ampco performs backup generator installation, EV charger setup, whole-home surge protection, lighting design, and electrical panel upgrades, which means warranty calls stay with a single contractor rather than bouncing between trades. Customer feedback across Yelp, Google, and Nextdoor places the company in solid positive territory, and the Tulsa-focused service area means crews have direct familiarity with PSO and OG&E interconnection workflows.

Prospective customers should ask Ampco directly about NABCEP-certified team members assigned to a given project, panel and inverter options, and labor warranty coverage, because the company's web presence emphasizes electrical depth more than named solar manufacturer partnerships. With 500-plus documented Oklahoma solar installations and 25-plus years of underlying electrical contracting experience, Ampco offers Tulsa-area homeowners a regional alternative to high-volume statewide brands.

With a composite score of 75.4 out of 100, Ampco Electric holds the second-ranked position in Oklahoma for 2026.
