Going solar is one of the smartest investments a homeowner can make — but the results depend heavily on the company you choose. A great solar provider ensures your system is installed safely, performs as expected, and lasts for decades. The wrong one can lead to leaks, electrical problems, disappointing output, and expensive fixes.
If you’re a Texas homeowner wondering how to pick the right solar company, here are the factors that matter most.
1. Make Sure They Use Licensed Electricians
Solar is an electrical system first. Panels, wiring, grounding, and inverters all require trained electricians who know Texas electrical codes. Choosing a team with licensed professionals ensures:
- Safe and clean electrical work
- Code-compliant installation
- Protected equipment warranties
- Long-term performance you can trust
This is the foundation of a reliable solar installation.
2. Check Their Experience With Roof-Safe Installations
Solar panels are mounted directly onto your roof, so the company working on them must understand roofing structure and moisture protection. Mistakes lead to leaks, shingle damage, and expensive repairs.
Look for a company skilled in:
- Secure racking and mounting
- Flashing installation
- Waterproofing methods
- Detach & reset services during roof replacement
A team with roof-safe experience prevents issues before they start.
3. Choose a Company That Offers More Than Just Installations
Solar is not a one-day project. Systems need support over time, and the best solar companies provide ongoing services such as:
- Maintenance
- Repairs
- Diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Monitoring setup and support
- Post-storm inspections
- Panel cleaning
A company that only installs solar but doesn’t service it will leave homeowners vulnerable.
4. Read Real Customer Reviews
Reviews reveal a lot about a company. Look for homeowners consistently mentioning:
- Strong communication
- On-time arrival
- Respect for property
- Clean workmanship
- Clear explanations
- Smooth scheduling
Positive feedback from both homeowners and roofing companies is an excellent sign of trustworthiness.
5. Pay Attention to Communication and Transparency
A reliable solar provider is upfront about:
- Scope of work
- Costs
- Timelines
- What to expect during installation
- Any limitations
You should never feel uncertain or pressured. Clear communication is one of the biggest indicators of professionalism.
6. Make Sure They Support Any Brand or System
Many homeowners already have solar systems installed — sometimes by another company. A dependable solar provider should be able to work with any brand, including older systems.
Brand-agnostic companies can assist with:
- Repairs
- System expansions
- Upgrades
- Monitoring
- Inverter replacements
- Maintenance
This flexibility saves homeowners money and gives them more long-term support.
7. Confirm They Understand Texas Weather and Roofing
Texas has some of the toughest conditions for solar, including:
- Intense heat
- Hailstorms
- High winds
- Rapid temperature swings
A company familiar with these challenges will install systems that withstand local weather and last longer.
8. Ask About Their Safety Standards and Workmanship
The best solar companies take pride in clean, safe installations. That means:
- Neat wire routing
- Secure mounting
- Proper grounding
- Care around roofing materials
- Organized work and cleanup
Attention to detail protects both your home and your energy production.
9. Look for Real-Time Monitoring Setup
Monitoring isn’t optional — it’s how you track your solar production and detect issues early. Choose a solar company that sets up and verifies your monitoring app before leaving the job site.
This ensures you can monitor your system from day one.
10. Choose a Company Homeowners and Roofing Experts Trust
Roofers often work closely with solar companies during roof replacements and storm repairs. If a company is trusted by roofing contractors, that’s a strong sign they perform clean, reliable detach & reset work and protect the roof beneath your system.
