What Texas Homeowners Should Know
Going solar in Texas starts with understanding your local incentives and policies. The 30% federal residential tax credit expired January 1, 2026, making state-level benefits more important than ever. Solar leases and PPAs still qualify for the commercial credit through 2027.
Net metering policy is one of the most important factors in your solar ROI. In Texas, net metering policies vary, so it is important to check with your specific utility for current export rates.
We recommend getting at least three quotes from different installers before making a decision. Compare system sizes, equipment brands, warranty terms, and total pricing.
