Solar is not just panels.

we'll walk you through the numbers so you can decide what makes sense for your home.

Going solar is a big decision — and who installs it matters just as much as the system itself. Whether you're exploring solar for the first time or revisiting it now that rates and incentives have shifted,

Making the switch to solar is a big decision and investment

The install itself, the roof coordination around it, and the electrical work that supports it.

Protect your home and lower monthly costs with solar without sacrificing roof integrity.

Process for going solar

  1. Site Assessment — We inspect your roof, check the electrical panel, measure for shade, and confirm everything's ready for a system that'll last.
  2. System Design — Your array gets designed around your roof's layout, angles, and shading. You'll see exactly how it looks before anything moves forward.
  3. Permitting & Paperwork — HOA approvals, building permits, utility forms — we file everything. You don't touch any of it.
  4. Installation — Our crews are full-time employees, not subs. They're supervised by a licensed master electrician and they know what they're doing.

Solar questions

Can you help if the roof has to be handled before solar?
Yes. That is a common part of the job. We help sort out whether roofing work, detach-and-reset, or electrical prep needs to happen before the install.
Do I need battery backup with solar?
Not always. It depends on outage concerns, budget, and what you want the system to do during a grid failure.
How long do solar panels last?
Most panels are warrantied for 25 years and continue producing past that. Production drops slowly over time -- expect about 85-90% of original output at year 25. Inverters typically need replacing once in that span.
Do panels still produce on cloudy days?
Yes. Output drops on overcast days but panels still generate. Your system is sized based on annual production, which accounts for weather patterns across the year.
How much does a solar system cost in Texas?
A typical residential system in Texas runs $15,000-30,000 depending on size, equipment, and roof complexity. Battery adds $8,000-15,000 depending on capacity. Your proposal breaks down every line item so you see exactly where the money goes.
Can I finance solar with no money down?
Yes. Most solar loans start at $0 down. But watch the dealer fee -- some lenders bake 15-30% into the loan balance. We show you the total cost of each financing option so you can compare.
Does a solar loan put a lien on my home?
No. Solar lenders file a UCC-1 fixture filing on the panels, not a lien on your property. If you sell, the loan transfers or gets paid off at closing.
What does the install process look like?
Consultation, site survey, system design, permitting, installation (1-2 days), city inspection, then utility permission to operate. Start to finish is typically 6-10 weeks, with most of that waiting on permits and utility paperwork.
How long from signing to system on?
Usually 6-10 weeks. The install itself takes 1-2 days. The rest is permits, engineering, and waiting for your utility to approve interconnection. We handle all of it.
I have an HOA -- can I still go solar?
Texas law protects your right to install solar. HOAs can set reasonable rules about placement but cannot prohibit it. We handle the paperwork and architectural review submissions.
What does a battery actually do during an outage?
When the grid goes down, your battery automatically disconnects from the grid and powers critical circuits -- typically refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi, and a few outlets. How long it lasts depends on battery size and what you run.
Do I need a battery for solar to work?
No. Most residential systems are grid-tied and work without a battery. You export excess power during the day and pull from the grid at night. A battery adds backup power and can improve economics depending on your rate plan.
What are critter guards and do I need them?
Critter guards are mesh screens that seal the gap between your panels and roof. Rats, squirrels, and birds nest under panels and chew wiring. If you have tree cover or wildlife in the area, they pay for themselves fast.
How often should panels be inspected?
Once or twice a year. Most issues show up in your monitoring app as production drops. A visual check for debris, cracked glass, or critter damage takes care of the rest.
What can actually damage solar panels?
Hail (large enough to crack the glass), fallen branches, rodents chewing wiring, and in rare cases, installer error. Panels are tougher than they look -- rated for 1-inch hail at 50+ mph -- but Texas storms can exceed that.
Do I need a new roof before going solar?
If your roof has less than 10 years of life left, do the roof first. Putting panels on a roof that needs replacing soon means paying to remove and reinstall them later. We'll give you an honest answer on timing.
Do I get incentives if I lease instead of buy?
No. Available incentives go to the system owner. If you lease, the leasing company keeps them. Ownership is almost always better financially if you can finance or pay cash.
What are solar buyback programs?
Many Texas utilities buy excess electricity your system sends to the grid. Rates and terms vary by provider -- some pay retail, some pay wholesale, some give bill credits. We help you understand what your specific utility offers before you sign.
