How Solar Works in Texas – From Sunlight to Savings

Switching to solar power in Texas is simpler than you think. Here’s a clear breakdown of how solar panels work and how they can power your home while cutting your energy bills:

1. Capturing Sunlight

Texas enjoys abundant sunshine, and solar panels are designed to capture that energy efficiently. Each panel is made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.

2. Converting to Usable Power

An inverter converts DC power into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity your home uses for appliances, lighting, and electronics.

3. Storing Excess Energy

With solar battery storage options, you can store surplus energy produced during the day to use at night or during power outages. This maximizes your energy independence.

4. Net Metering Benefits

Texas homeowners can benefit from net metering programs offered by many utility companies. Any excess electricity you generate gets sent back to the grid, earning you credits that lower future bills.

5. Long-Term Savings and Sustainability

Solar panels in Texas are built to last 25+ years, delivering long-term savings while helping you reduce your carbon footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in Texas

Texas does not currently offer a state-level solar tax credit. However, homeowners can still take advantage of the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), significantly reducing the upfront cost of installing solar panels. Some local utilities may also offer additional incentives.
The Federal Solar ITC allows homeowners in Texas to deduct 30% of the total system cost—including equipment, labor, and permits—from their federal taxes. For example, if your solar installation costs $20,000, you could receive a $6,000 tax credit.
Yes, many utility companies in Texas, such as Oncor and CPS Energy, offer solar rebates to homeowners who install qualifying solar energy systems. These rebates can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on system size and utility provider.
While Texas does not have a statewide net metering policy, many utility companies and retail electric providers offer net metering programs or buyback plans, allowing you to receive credits or payments for excess electricity your solar panels produce.
On average, solar panel installation in Texas costs $2.50 to $3.50 per watt before incentives. For a typical 6 kW residential system, this translates to about $15,000–$21,000 before applying the 30% Federal Tax Credit and any available local rebates.
