Our Services

What we actually offer in Arlington

Rooftop Solar Systems

Most Arlington homes benefit from rooftop installations. We mount high-efficiency panels on south-facing slopes, maximize sun exposure, and meet local building codes. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Forest Hill and Dalworthington Gardens often see strong production year-round thanks to Texas sun.

Residential rooftop solar installation in Arlington, TX

Rooftop systems work for homes with clear south or southwest exposure and minimal shade. We assess your roof type and structural capacity before design. Average Arlington residential systems range from 5 to 10 kW.

HOA-governed neighborhoods sometimes require architectural review. We help manage those approvals while protecting your solar rights under Texas law.

Ground-Mount Solar

If your roof faces north or has heavy shade, a ground-mounted array may be your best option. We build code-compliant foundations, run underground wiring, and ensure compliance with National Electrical Code standards. Ground mounts work especially well on larger Arlington properties with open acreage.

Ground-mounted solar system in Arlington area

Ground systems require more labor and site prep than rooftop installations. We excavate, set concrete footings, and bury wiring to meet all electrical codes. The trade-off is easier maintenance and optimal sun angle throughout the year.

Typical lead time for ground mounts is slightly longer due to foundation work. We schedule installation during Arlington's dry months to avoid weather delays.

Battery Backup Systems

Add battery storage to your solar system for power security during outages. Lithium-ion batteries store excess daytime energy for use at night or during peak rate hours. Perfect for Arlington homeowners who want energy independence and grid resilience.

Battery Installation

We pair your solar panels with utility-grade batteries, manage wiring, and integrate all monitoring. Your system automatically switches to backup power if the grid goes down.

Load Management

We design your system to prioritize critical loads—AC, refrigerator, water heater—so your battery lasts longer during extended outages. Intelligent controls maximize every kilowatt-hour.

Monitoring & Support

Real-time app access lets you watch energy flow. Our support team responds to alerts and maintains system health 24/7.

Why It Matters

Value proposition and differentiation

Lock In Stable Energy Costs

Texas electricity rates climbed from 12.1 cents per kWh in 2021 to 14.9 cents in 2024. Solar lets you generate your own electricity and avoid future rate increases. Solar panels allow Arlington homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing dependence on the grid and protecting against rising utility costs.

Average Arlington homeowners save $104,690 over 25 years with solar.

Take Advantage of Tax Credits

The Residential Clean Energy Credit lets people claim a tax credit worth 30% the cost of a solar panel system in the year it's installed. Texas state policy adds property tax exemptions. While solar panels increase home values, Texas law prevents this added value from raising property tax assessments. This exemption preserves the full financial benefit of solar investments.

Local Expertise Matters

Installers understand Arlington-specific requirements including navigating Oncor's interconnection process, securing City of Arlington permits, and optimizing for local weather patterns. We know how to move through permitting efficiently and avoid delays. Our team has completed installations across Arlington neighborhoods like Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego, and Forest Hill.

Arlington-Specific Solar Conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about residential solar in Arlington

Do I need a permit to install solar in Arlington?

Yes. The City of Arlington requires both a building permit and an interconnection permit from Oncor. We handle all paperwork and coordinate inspections on your behalf.

Can I install solar if my HOA has architectural rules?

Maybe. Texas law protects homeowner solar rights, but HOAs can sometimes require architectural approval for front-facing installations. We navigate those conversations and help keep your project on track.

What happens to my electricity bill after installation?

Your bill will drop based on how much solar energy your system generates. Most Arlington homeowners offset 50–100% of their electricity use. Any excess you produce gets credited back to your account.

How long do solar panels last?

Panels typically last 25–30 years and come with 25-year performance warranties. Most systems produce electricity at 80%+ efficiency even after 25 years.

Do I need to maintain my solar system?

Minimal maintenance. Occasional rain cleans your panels naturally. We recommend one professional inspection per year to check inverter health and electrical connections.
