First things first – INCREASE EFFICIENCY Report

Change all incandescent and halogen light sources to LEDs. Local Retailers are a great source for these indoor or outdoor lamps and fixtures. Most LEDs will fit into existing lamp sockets. This will result in double savings - fewer watts used to light a space AND less A/C used to cool down the air around those little heat lamps!

What do you want to do with the power Report

If you are already served by a power company, it is considerably cheaper to purchase a "grid-tie" system. If you want to be totally independent of your energy company and/or you need electricity in a location that is not yet served by your energy company and it would be very expensive to connect, you will want to consider a "Battery Stand-Alone" system.

Consider how much power you actually use Report

Realistically, you will probably look to supplement your power needs via solar ("grid-tie" as previously described) rather than use a Battery Stand-Alone system. If you want more information about battery back up and true system sizing, please let us know - we have an overview you can use to determine your full power needs.

Information to keep in mind when considering a solar system Report

Step #4: Information to keep in mind when considering a solar system to increase your return on investment. The most productive system is located on a South- or West-facing roof (or area) that is shade-free from 9 am - 3 pm every day of the year. You do not need to size a system to meet all your energy needs.

Tech Ed & FAQs Report

To properly size a system, we will evaluate the number of watt/hours your home or office uses. This is typically done by looking at past electric utility bills. In cases where this information is not available i.e. Are there any limitations that I should be aware of? With enough solar panels and/or wind generators you can produce as much power as you need.

Texas Solar installed my system in 2008 and I've been very pleased with the performance. This week I had a maintenance issue and Jeremy came out within 1 day of my call. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had me up and running again in a very short period of time. Jeremy was professional, communicative and very respectful throughout the process. Service after the sale is what differentiates the great companies from the mediocre ones. I couldn't be happier with Texas Solar and the great job Jeremy did!!

Texas Solar replaced our inverter (thankfully still under warranty!) and pulled our panels down and put them back up when we replaced our roof. The installers were friendly, communicative and knowledgeable. Our reroof job was complicated and prolonged and everyone was exceptionally patient. All in all they performed good work at a good price and met our needs exactly. Thanks!!

I've worked with Texas Solar over the previous 12 years - they originally put up my Panels in 2004, Installed a car charger and associated circuits, helped replace a defective converter, and finally took the panels of when I needed a new roof. Throughout all of these, I never felt like I was being "sold" - they laid out all of the costs and benefits of each option, and when they did the work they kept me informed. For example - it took them a week to put the panels back up after it was reroofed. I thought it was crazy that they would only work an hour or so. I talked to the

This company installed the system at my house. Years later, I found out that there was a permit still open with the city on my house. When I called Texas Solar to have them close out the permit that they had left open, they refused to close out the permit. I ended up having to hire a different company so they could close out the permit with the city. If they install your system, make sure they close out every permit before you pay them.

Texas Solar Power Company just installed a 4.35 kW rooftop solar array on our house. The setup is designed to cover all of the electricity we use. The payoff period is 7 years for us - in the end, the rooftop array cost us what electricity would for 7 years, then it's free forever. And that's if electricity costs never go up, which they probably will. So counting the likelihood of electricity rate increases, the payoff period is likely less than 7 years.

Point is, installing a home solar power array is not only good for not burning coal - where the majority of electricity comes from

Texas Solar Power installed a roof mounted system on my home. They failed to confirm the main panel would support the added supply before providing a bid and contract.
