Solar engineered for Austin homes
Austin sits in Travis County, served by Austin Energy. Austin Energy uses a Value of Solar (VoS) tariff (~9¢/kWh) instead of traditional net metering, which makes right-sizing the system to your real usage essential. Austin Energy's Value of Solar tariff pays solar customers a flat rate per kWh produced (around 9¢/kWh), separate from your retail rate. The math is different from anywhere else in Texas. ZIPs 78701, 78702, 78703, 78704, 78705 average 5.2 peak sun hours per day. The 2021 winter storm uri grid collapse pushed many Austin homeowners to add battery storage for resilience alongside the savings.
Solar in Austin: common questions
What incentives are available for solar in Austin, TX?
Austin homeowners qualify for the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit through 2032, Texas's solar property tax exemption, and Austin Energy's Value of Solar credit on every kWh produced. Battery storage qualifies for the federal credit when installed alongside the panels.
Will my Austin HOA approve solar panels?
Texas HB 362 protects rooftop solar in Austin HOAs from being blocked outright, though aesthetic accommodations are common. We submit complete architectural packages on your behalf and resubmit at no charge if revisions are needed.
Does solar still pay back in Austin with VoS instead of net metering?
Yes. The payback math is different from traditional net metering, but right-sized Austin systems still deliver strong returns thanks to high retail rates, the 30% Federal ITC, and Austin Energy's VoS credit applied to every kWh produced. We model the full economics for your specific home before you sign.
