Save 50–80% on Your Houston Electricity Bills with Solar

A typical Houston home needs a 7–10 kW system, which runs about $18,000 to $26,000 before incentives. After the 30% federal solar tax credit that drops to roughly $12,600–$18,200, and most of our Houston customers finance it for less per month than they were already paying CenterPoint and their retail electricity provider.

Yes. Texas homeowners can claim the 30% federal residential clean energy credit, and Texas exempts the added value of a solar system from your property taxes, so your appraisal does not go up. Several Houston-area providers also offer local rebates and solar buyback plans that pay you for the extra power you export to the grid.

The install itself takes one to three days on a typical Houston home. From signed contract to switched on, expect four to eight weeks total, since that window includes engineering, City of Houston or county permitting, HOA sign-off where it applies, and the utility permission-to-operate approval. We handle every one of those filings for you.

They do. Modern panels run on daylight, not direct sunbeams, so on an overcast Gulf Coast day they still produce roughly 10–25% of their rated output. Houston averages around 204 sunny days a year, and net metering or a solar buyback plan credits your summer surplus back against the cloudy stretches.

Our panels are rated for 140+ mph wind uplift and 1-inch hail at 50 mph, and we engineer every roof attachment to Harris County wind-load code. Panels frequently come through Gulf storms better than the shingles around them, and the array is covered by your homeowners policy plus our 25-year workmanship warranty.

Only if you add battery storage. For safety, a grid-tied solar system shuts down during an outage, but pairing it with a home battery keeps your fridge, AC, internet and lights running through ERCOT grid events and hurricane outages. Most Houston customers size a battery for 12–24 hours of essential loads.
