Going solar is
simple and effective.
Let us walk you through
the process...

1. Can I afford it?

Tax Credits & Long-term Savings

Switching to solar can greatly reduce and sometimes eliminate electric bills, resulting in substantial savings for homeowners and businesses alike.

Residential tax credits may not be around much longer, but so far the credits for businesses are still intact and can likely be 50% or more depending on your location.

Property Value Increase

Investing in solar panels can significantly raise the market value of your property, offering a lucrative return on investment in addition to sustainable energy benefits.

Texas homeowners will be happy to know that solar systems are exempt from property tax determination, so adding solar will not raise your taxes.

Financing

Few solar companies will admit this, but financing is one of the least cost-effective options. (Even worse are those shady dealers persuading homeowners to rent their panels.) 

 

That said, we understand that sometimes paying interest is unavoidable, and we're here to help you find the best financing solution for your system.

2. What is the process from start to finish?

Site Suitability Assessment

Before installation, we conduct a thorough assessment to determine the suitability of your property for solar panels, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.

Design & Installation Coordination

Solar panels can be installed on open land or on existing barn roofs and other buildings. They can even power remote irrigation equipment when paired with a battery system.

Our expert team manages the entire design and installation process, guaranteeing a professional and compliant solar panel, inverter and battery setup for your property.

Leading that charge is our NABCEP certified Technical Operations Manager and Co-Owner Kim Kring.

Seamless Paperwork & Agreements

We handle all the necessary paperwork, permits and agreements, simplifying the process for you and ensuring a hassle-free transition to solar energy.

Meet our Business Operations Manager and co-owner Andi Parker.

Schedule Your Install

As soon as your down payment is made we order the materials and start the permitting and interconnection process. That can take a few weeks depending on response time from the utilities.

Once they give the green light, Kim will put you on the schedule. Installing can take anywhere from a couple of days (for simple solar-only rooftop arrays) to a few weeks (for more complicated ground mounts and/or big battery backup systems.

Activate Solar Power!

Once your install is complete we will schedule an inspection from your utility company. Often the meter will be switched out for a new one that runs backwards!

They will then grant the words we love to hear, "permission to operate".

Add Battery Storage

Good news and bad news about adding batteries...

- Bad news: they can get expensive, especially if you have a lot of usage to back up 

- Good news: it is easy to scale. Start with a few and add more later if you wish
