Utility

CenterPoint Energy serves nearly all of greater Houston. We handle interconnection paperwork end-to-end and coordinate net metering enrollment with your retail electric provider.

Climate & Production

Houston’s 4.9 daily peak sun hours yield ~1,789 kWh/kW annual production — above the U.S. residential average. Hot, humid summers and severe storms require Houston-specific mounting.

Grid Context

ERCOT limits solar excess export rates and grid reliability is a recurring concern after Winter Storm Uri (2021). Battery storage with The Light Battery Program addresses both issues.

Houston Incentives

Stack your savings with federal & state programs.

Federal Solar ITC

30%

Residential Clean Energy Credit. Direct dollar-for-dollar reduction in your federal tax liability through 2032.

TX Property Tax Exemption

100%

Texas exempts the entire added home value from solar from property tax. Your home value rises but your tax bill doesn’t.

CenterPoint Net Metering

1:1

Excess solar production credited at retail rate. Credits roll over month-to-month with most retail electricity providers (REPs).

$0 Down Financing

$0

Solar loans, PPAs, and leases available. Most Houston customers see net savings from month one.

Tax credit claims depend on your individual federal tax liability. Consult a tax advisor. Property tax exemption requires Form 50-123 filing with your county appraisal district.

Most common in Houston suburbs. Standard mounting hardware.

Tile (Clay/Concrete)

Memorial & Heights neighborhoods. Tile-specific mounting kits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This depends on several factors, including home location, roof angle, shading, and others. If you'd like to see if your home is good for solar, get in touch with one of our Light Group Energy Consultants. They'll give you a free consultation to see if solar is right for you and design a plan that best fits your needs. We will only recommend solar if it's the best fit for your preferences.

There are many zero-down payment options available. Low monthly payments and simple terms make financing easier than ever.

This depends on how much energy you're already consuming and how much sunlight your home gets during the day, among other factors. We will only recommend a solar plan if it fits your needs.

If you have a solar lease, loan, or power purchase agreement (PPA) and you want to sell your house, you typically have a few options available to you. Options include transferring your agreement, relocating your panels, or including the remaining balance of your agreement in the home purchase price. The specific details and available choices may depend on the terms and conditions of your particular agreement, so it's important to review your contract and consult with the company that provides your solar financing.

With a Light Group Storage Plan, our battery stores the energy your panels collect. During a blackout, this energy can power your entire home. Without battery storage during a blackout, you will have no solar energy to pull from.

With The Light Group USA you're protected by our 25-year workmanship warranty and 90% Production Guarantee.

We do it all for you. The Light Group handles new installations with our simple, stress-free process. Getting a free consultation is the first step. One of our Energy Consultants will help you determine if going solar is best for you, answer any questions you might have, and help you pick the right plans.

Our top priority is to get you away from the increasing costs of traditional utilities. While this is ideal, some solar customers still rely on a utility for backup but pay a considerably lower bill.

The warranty of the solar system will cover the cost of repairs if any equipment failure affects energy production. It also covers issues related to manufacturing or malfunctions.

On the contrary, solar panels increase overall home value by 4%. Solar homes spend 13.3% less time on the market and are 24.7% more likely to get an offer above the asking price.

All systems we install in Houston are rated for 130+ mph winds, well above the typical hurricane threshold for our zone. We use UL-2703 certified racking and follow City of Houston wind-uplift code. Most homeowners find solar panels actually protect the underlying roof from hail and wind damage.

CenterPoint Energy is the utility infrastructure provider for Houston. Once your system is installed, we file the interconnection agreement with CenterPoint, install the bi-directional meter, and coordinate net metering with your retail electric provider (Reliant, TXU, Direct Energy, etc.). Average approval time: 14 days post-permit.
