What we install
Solar options for homes and businesses
From single-family homes to commercial rooftops, we tailor the system to your goals, roof layout, and usage needs.
Residential solar panel installs
Roof-mounted panel installation with clean layout planning, weather-tight mounting, and a finished look that complements your home.
Commercial solar panel installs
Scalable installs for offices, shops, warehouses, and multi-unit properties—built for performance, safety, and long-term durability.
System upgrades & add-ons
Add panels, optimize placement, and improve system performance when you expand or change your energy needs.
Install coordination & site readiness
We help you prepare the site and coordinate the installation details so the project stays on schedule and the finished system is clean and reliable.
Installation ideas & inspiration
Common layouts and mounting approaches we see across Texas homes, shops, and rural properties.
Solar system types
We’ll help you choose the right system based on your goals: bill reduction, backup power, or full energy independence.
Grid-tied
Most common option. Panels feed an inverter and offset your usage while staying connected to the utility. Great for maximizing savings.
- Best for: lowering bills
- Usually no battery required
- Interconnection required
Hybrid (grid + battery)
Add a battery for backup power during outages and better self-consumption. Ideal for critical loads like refrigeration, lighting, and internet.
- Best for: savings + resilience
- Battery + hybrid inverter
- Backup circuits configured
Off-grid
Designed to run without the utility. Requires larger battery storage and careful load planning—popular for rural properties and cabins.
- Best for: remote sites
- Battery bank required
- Generator-ready options
Panels, inverters & batteries
Equipment choices affect performance, shade tolerance, monitoring, and long-term reliability. We’ll help you match components to your roof layout and goals.
Panel types
- Monocrystalline: high efficiency, great for limited roof space
- Polycrystalline: cost-friendly option (less common on new installs)
- Bifacial: can produce more when mounted with reflective surfaces and airflow
Inverter options
- String inverter: simple, cost-effective for unshaded roofs
- Microinverters: panel-level conversion; strong for shade/complex roofs
- Optimizers: hybrid approach for performance + centralized inverter
Battery storage
- Backup critical loads (fridge, lights, outlets, internet)
- Increase self-consumption and reduce peak usage
- Plan for expansion (future battery add-on)
Mounting options
We’ll recommend a mounting approach that fits your structure, sun exposure, and long-term maintenance access.
Roof mount
Most common. Uses flashed attachments and rails to keep the roof weather-tight.
Ground mount
Great for rural properties and when roof space is limited. Easier access for cleaning and service.
Carport / patio cover
Dual-purpose structure that provides shade and power. Popular for driveways, RV covers, and outdoor living areas.
Sizing & production (how we plan it)
Your usage
We start with your monthly kWh usage, seasonal A/C demand, and any future loads (EV, pool, workshop).
Sun exposure
Roof pitch, orientation, and shading determine production. We plan a layout that balances output and aesthetics.
System size
We size the system to your goals—partial offset, near-full offset, or battery-backed resilience.
Production varies by location, shading, roof angle, and utility rules. We’ll review assumptions with you before install.
Texas considerations
Heat
High temperatures can reduce output. We plan airflow, spacing, and equipment placement for performance and longevity.
Hail
We prioritize quality panels and mounting hardware designed for impact resistance and harsh weather.
Wind
Proper attachment, racking, and edge setbacks matter. We follow manufacturer specs and code-minded practices.
Permitting & interconnection
Most grid-tied systems require permits and utility interconnection approval. Timelines vary by city/county and utility provider. We’ll help you understand what’s required for your location.
Installation process & timeline
1) Site review & design
We review roof condition, electrical service, shading, and your goals to build a clear plan.
2) Permits & scheduling
We coordinate the paperwork and schedule the install window based on availability and inspections.
3) Install day
Mounting, wiring coordination, inverter setup, and cleanup. We aim for a neat finish and safe routing.
4) Inspection & utility approval
Final inspection and utility permission to operate (PTO) for grid-tied systems.
5) Monitoring & handoff
We review monitoring, basic maintenance, and what to expect month-to-month.
Typical timeline: Many installs take 1–3 days on-site, but total project time can range from a couple weeks to several weeks depending on permitting and utility interconnection.
Maintenance, warranties & financing considerations
Maintenance
- Occasional cleaning (dust/pollen) if production drops
- Visual checks after major storms
- Keep tree growth trimmed to reduce shade
Warranties
- Panel performance warranties often span decades (varies by brand)
- Inverter warranties vary by type and manufacturer
- Workmanship warranty depends on installer scope
Financing (general)
- Compare cash vs. financed total cost
- Ask about lien/loan terms and early payoff
- Understand utility rules and expected payback
We’re not a lender. Financing availability and terms vary by provider and credit profile.
Solar panels & solar systems FAQ
How many panels do I need?
It depends on your monthly kWh usage, roof space, shading, and how much of your bill you want to offset. We’ll size the system to your goals and utility rules.
Is solar worth it in Texas?
Texas has strong sun and high A/C demand. Solar can be a practical upgrade, but results depend on your utility plan, roof exposure, and system sizing.
Do solar panels work during a power outage?
Most grid-tied systems shut off during outages for safety. A hybrid system with a battery can provide backup power to selected circuits.
What’s the difference between microinverters and a string inverter?
Microinverters convert power at each panel and can perform better on roofs with shade or multiple roof faces. String inverters are simpler and cost-effective for unshaded layouts.
Can I add a battery later?
Often, yes. We can plan the system with future battery expansion in mind, depending on the inverter and electrical setup.
Will solar damage my roof?
When installed correctly with proper flashing and attachment points, solar should remain weather-tight. Roof condition matters—older roofs may need repairs before installation.
How long does installation take?
Many installs take 1–3 days on-site. Total project time can take longer depending on permitting, inspections, and utility approval.
Do I need permits?
Most grid-tied systems require permits and utility interconnection approval. Requirements vary by city/county and utility provider.
What maintenance is required?
Solar systems are generally low maintenance. Occasional cleaning and post-storm checks are common, and monitoring helps spot performance changes.
What about hail and wind?
Quality panels and racking are designed for harsh weather, but no system is indestructible. We follow manufacturer specs and code-minded practices for mounting and setbacks.
Can solar be installed on a metal roof?
Yes—mounting methods vary by roof type. We’ll choose hardware appropriate for your roof material and structure.
Can you install solar on a carport or patio cover?
Yes. Solar carports and patio covers are a popular way to create shade while generating power. Ask us about options for your driveway or outdoor living space.
