Solar in Texas

Solar power is the fastest growing American and global electricity source. These days, it is easier and more affordable than ever to use solar panels with photovoltaic (PV) cells to power your home and even electric cars. About 50% of the solar volume is located in the west Texas region, with that volume being projected as coming online heavily in 2020. The other three regions of the state range from about 2.5 to 5 GW of solar volume planned.

Saving With Solar

The investment return and savings that can be made by buying solar panels varies more by city and utility in Texas than in any other state in the country. This is largely due to the fact that Texas’s electric utilities are deregulated, making it possible for people in most cities to choose which retail electric provider they want to use. This causes a lot of variation in the types of solar incentives available for the people of Texas.

In some cities like Austin, Brenham, El Paso, and San Antonio, upfront utility rebates are abundant. 1-for-1 net metering programs offered by providers create a great environment for homeowners to install solar. These incentives, coupled with the 26% solar tax credit make it plausible to pay back the cost of the solar system installation in 8 years or less. What that means is that over the course of 8 years, you will have saved as much as you paid for the system.

In other cities, utilities and providers do not offer upfront rebates or 1-for-1 net metering. The payback for systems in these areas can take up to 15 years.

Cost Of Solar Panels

  • How much do solar panels cost in Texas?

That is why we offer a free custom quote for every customer based on your home or business and your energy needs. Learn More >>

  • Pros and cons of installing solar panels in Texas?

    An advantage of installing solar panels in Texas is that there is a high amount of radiant energy emitted from the sun, also known as solar irradiation. If you live in an area where net metering is offered, the high production of your system has the potential to save you a ton of money on your electric bill. CPS and GVEC are two examples of retail electric providers that offer net metering programs. The state also offers a renewable energy system property tax exemption, so 100% of the appraised value of your solar system is exempt from your property taxes.


    Some disadvantages of installing solar in Texas include the fact that there are no statewide residential incentive programs and that the state does not require every utility to offer net metering programs. Depending on which county or city you live in, some providers and utilities do not offer incentives or rebates to their customers.


    However, we can always assist you in seeing if there is a provider in your area that does offer solar incentives.
