What solar panels cost in Round Rock

Most Round Rock homeowners call us about one of three things: a $250 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 Round Rock, 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 Round Rock is different

Roofs and bills in Round Rock follow local rules, not Texas averagesMost Round Rock homes get power delivered by Oncor and buy it from a retail provider you choose. That matters for solar: the credit for power you send back depends on your retail plan, not on Oncor. Some plans pay full retail, some pay a few cents, some pay nothing. We check your plan before we size anything. We work Round Rock every week, in Forest Creek, Teravista, Stone Canyon, Behrens Ranch, Paloma Lake and the streets around them. We pull permits with the City of Round Rock Building Inspections division, and we know which inspectors want what.

The three jobs we do most in Round Rock

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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock runs $15,000 to $30,000 installed, before any utility rebate. Oncor delivers. Your retail plan decides what you get for power you send back. 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 Round Rock

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 Oncor + retail plan does to the payback, and what your bill should look like after. You decide.

3
We pull the permit with the City of Round Rock Building Inspections division

Round Rock HOAs can review where panels go but cannot refuse a system that meets the Texas Property Code rules. Most approvals here take two to four weeks. Permits and HOA approval usually take two to four weeks in Round Rock. 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.
