A general rule for All Solar Texas is that your bill will be around the same or less compared to your current electric bill. Because of the Texas Net Metering law, solar isn’t an added cost, it is a bill replacement.

Yes. Utility companies will buy your excess power back. We have lots of customers with bill credits at the end of the month. This isn’t guaranteed for every home. Please submit an inquiry and get a FREE Energy Savings Report done specifically for your home to see how much you can be saving and earning back.

Today, your solar bill may be about what you’re currently paying in an electric bill. Although, a primary advantage is that your solar bill will be fixed. The real cost is not choosing solar because your electric bill is subject to increase and has historically increased 3-6% annually. The best way to think about it is the difference between renting your home and having a fixed mortgage. A landlord will continue to raise your rent over the years, and you never get anything in return for your payment besides the usage of the home. A mortgage on the other hand is a fixed payment that doesn’t go up over time and your monthly payment goes toward buying down the asset every single month.

Although we have options to be able to go “off-the-grid”, our standard solar system is a “grid-tied” system. This means that you are still connected to the utility company for any additional electric needs that you may encounter. You also are able to use the utility company as a “battery” with net metering, because it “stores” the energy that you over produce giving you a credit that you can use later.

$0 Down financing is simple. We use a bank that provides homeowners with solar specific financing. In order to qualify, you must have approved credit ( 600 FICO and above) and be a homeowner. The financing is a flat payment that will never increase and there are no prepayment penalties. The first payment on your solar panels is typically 60 days after install. Plenty of time for your panels to begin producing clean energy and rolling back your meter even before you have paid a single dime.

Maintenance for a solar panel system is very minimal. Cleaning is the most common type of maintenance needed, for which we recommend that you run a hose over the panels every 6 months if you live in a wet climate, and every 2 - 3 months if you live in a dry climate.

We monitor each individual panel on your roof top. If one is under performing we are automatically notified and will schedule a time with you to come out and replace it free of charge.

The standard life expectancy of our solar systems is 40 years. The first 25 years is covered under a manufacturers’ warranty. This means that your system will cover your needs for much of the rest of your life!
