Solar and roofing in Georgetown

What solar panels cost in Georgetown

Most Georgetown homeowners call us about one of three things: a $260 summer bill that keeps climbing, an insurance letter after the last hail storm, or a roof that needs replacing with panels already on it. Here is what each of those costs in Georgetown, what drives the price, and what happens when you call. We do the solar and the electrical, and we coordinate with select roofers when the roof is part of the job. No pressure. The estimate is free.

Why Georgetown is different

Roofs and bills in Georgetown follow local rules, not Texas averagesGeorgetown runs its own electric utility, Georgetown Utility Systems. Rooftop solar connects under the city’s own interconnection rules, and the credit you get for power you send back is set by the city, not by a retail plan.

The three jobs we do most in Georgetown

Prices below are real ranges from recent Central Texas jobs. Yours depends on the roof, your usage, your utility, and your insurance carrier.

Reroofs with panels

Working with roofers

We coordinate with select Georgetown roofers we know and stand behind. You get one introduction, and we run the solar side: panels off, labeled and stored, reset on the new roof with fresh flashings and verified production. An asphalt reroof on a typical Georgetown home runs $12,000 to $25,000; ask about Class 4 impact-rated shingles and the insurance discount those can earn. Two crews who talk to each other, so nothing falls through the gap.

Solar

Solar and battery installations

A home solar system in Georgetown runs $15,000 to $30,000 installed, before any utility rebate. City-owned utility. The credit for power you send back is set by Georgetown, not a retail plan. With a battery you keep power when the grid drops, which mattered here in February 2021. We size the system from twelve months of your real usage, not a guess.

Storm and insurance

Hail inspection and claim help

You cannot see hail damage from the driveway. We get on the roof, photograph every slope, and write it up the way adjusters expect. If it is fine, we tell you it is fine. If it needs a claim, you will know before you call your carrier, and we meet the adjuster at the house. If the roof has to be replaced, we coordinate with one of our select roofers and handle the panels ourselves.

What happens when you call from Georgetown

1
We come look, for free

A crew lead gets on the roof, checks the attic and the electrical panel, and measures for shade. You get photos of what we found, whether or not you hire us.

2
You see the numbers side by side

Solar only, solar with a battery, or solar plus a reroof with one of our select roofers. Each option shows the installed price, what Georgetown Utility Systems does to the payback, and what your bill should look like after. You decide.

3
We pull the permit with the City of Georgetown Inspection Services division

Sun City and most newer Georgetown HOAs have an architectural review step for solar. Texas law limits what they can refuse, but the application still has to be filed. We file it. Permits and HOA approval usually take two to four weeks in Georgetown. We tell you where it stands every week.

4
Install, inspect, switch on

If the roof comes first, we take the panels off, the roofer works, and we reset the array on the new roof. A solar install takes one to two days, then a city inspection and a utility meter swap, which is the step that waits the longest. We stay on it until the system is live and the bill shows the change.
