Residential Solar

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels work by capturing energy from the sun, converting it into electricity, and then feeding that electricity into your home. The electricity your solar panels generate is free to use, which means your electric bills will go down significantly once you install solar panels at your San Antonio home. 

Solar panels only work when the sun is shining, so you’ll still need to buy power from the electric grid at night and on extremely cloudy days. Your home will maintain a grid connection for this purpose unless you decide to go off-grid. Some utility companies, including CPS Energy, offer net metering, which allows you to trade your excess solar energy for grid-generated electricity. You can also install a solar battery to store excess solar electricity, reducing the amount of grid-generated power you need to buy and allowing you to run your home on solar energy when the grid is down.

There are a number of reasons to go solar, and Texas Engineered Solar is here to help you take advantage of all the benefits of solar energy.

Reduce Your Electric Bills with Solar

Solar energy has the potential to drastically reduce or even eliminate your electricity bill for the next 25-30 years! We’ll design a solar energy system around your specific power needs to help you save as much money as possible.

Avoid Power Outages with Solar Battery Storage

Grid reliability has become a real problem for many of us here in Texas. With a solar panel and battery storage system, you can protect yourself against outages and keep your lights, appliances, and electric heating and cooling systems running—even when the grid is down.

Get Solar Rebates & Incentives

You’re in luck! With the cost of solar becoming more affordable than ever and energy prices on the rise, now is a great time to have solar installed at your home or business. Solar incentives make it even easier to start your home solar installation project. As a locally owned and operated solar company in Texas, we know what rebates and incentives are available in the San Antonio area. We’ll help you take advantage of federal, state, and local incentives—like the 30% federal solar tax credit and net metering.

Increase the Value of Your Home

Studies show that homes with a solar energy system have higher property values and even sell faster than non-solar homes.
According to the Department of Energy, the addition of a solar array can boost the value of your home by an average of $15,000. With that in mind, think outside the box with your next home improvement project. Ditch the typical kitchen or bathroom renovation and consider solar as an alternative option that can add serious value to your property.

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

The average residential solar installation will eliminate three to four tons of carbon emissions each year! That’s the equivalent of planting over 100 trees a year.

By reducing your carbon footprint you will also be helping to improve the air quality here in Texas. Air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, mercury, and carbon dioxide have been known to cause short-term respiratory health problems. After installing your solar system, you can take a deep breath and enjoy the cleaner air!

Texas Engineered Solar is here to answer your questions about solar energy and help you decide whether solar installation makes sense for your home. We are seriously passionate about solar and want to help our fellow Texans take advantage of this amazing opportunity to save money and become energy independent.

Even if you don’t have the upfront cash on hand to fund your home solar installation, there are 0% down financing options available. Let us help you take the next steps in gaining your energy independence!
