Residential Solar Installs in San Antonio

Your electric bill keeps climbing and you want to know if solar actually pays.

Your electric bill is one of the few costs you cannot opt out of. You are going to spend that money whether you like it or not, so the only real question is whether you have anything to show for it at the end.

We install rooftop and ground-mounted residential systems across San Antonio, Cibolo and South Texas. The system is sized around your actual usage and your actual roof, not around how many panels will fit, and we tell you what it will produce before you buy it.

The argument that does not expire

Utility rates are not going down. A grid-tied system feeds your house first and sends the surplus to the grid, so you save twice: on the power you stop buying, and on what the utility credits you for the power you send back. Once the system is paid for, that is your rate, locked, for as long as it runs — and grid-tied solar is close to maintenance free and lasts for decades.

Incentives change, and they change without much notice. Rebate programmes and tax credits exist to jump-start an industry, so they shrink over time and occasionally disappear. We will tell you exactly what is available to you at the time we quote, rather than quoting you a number from a brochure printed three years ago. That is a specific, checkable thing to ask any installer for.

We handle the parts you would rather not

The utility rebate application, the city permit, the inspection and the HOA submittal are all ours. Texas law restricts what a homeowners' association can do about a roof-mounted solar system, and we have taken that argument on more than once. It is consistently the thing customers mention afterwards: "they handled everything, and I do mean everything."

What a house needs to be a good candidate

Enough unshaded roof facing roughly the right way, a roof with enough life left in it that you are not going to take the panels off again in three years, and an electrical service the system can connect to. Where the roof does not work, a ground mount often does.

Some properties genuinely are not good candidates because of shading or architecture. If yours is one of them we will say so, and we will say so before you have spent anything. Occasionally somebody wants to go ahead anyway, which is fine — but the production guarantee will not apply to a system we have told you is compromised, and we will put that in writing too.

Financing

There are $0 down options, and we have finance arrangements through credit unions and banks as well as a one-year same-as-cash option in-house. Long term or short term, the idea is the same: let the system pay for itself while you own it.

Common questions

Can you handle my HOA?

Yes, and we routinely do. Texas law restricts an HOA's ability to refuse a roof-mounted solar system, and the submittal is one of the approvals we prepare and file for you along with the utility rebate application, the city permit and the inspection.

Is financing available?

Yes. There are $0 down options, and we work with long-term and short-term plans through credit unions and banks, plus a one-year same-as-cash option in-house. The point of financing here is to let the system pay for itself while you own it.

How does solar affect what I pay CPS Energy?

A grid-tied system feeds your home first and sends the surplus to the grid, so you save twice: on the power you no longer buy, and on what the utility credits you for what you send back. What that adds up to depends on your usage and your system, which is what the free assessment is for.

How long is the installation warranty?

Ten years on our installation. The common figure around San Antonio is five, because five years is all CPS Energy requires. Your system should be working for decades, so ten years of coverage is a better place to start.

Tell us about the property

Roof or land, home or business, and roughly what you pay CPS a month. That is enough for us to come back with something useful.
