How we rank solar companies
Our Marketplace has provided hundreds of thousands of quotes to homeowners from solar installers across the country. We have the data to help you find the best one for you in Texas.
Based on this information, we created a tiered ranking system to evaluate solar companies. It focuses on three key areas:
- Results, based on success with real customers, from quotes to installation.
- Reputation, based on ratings and reviews.
- Responsiveness, based on how quickly they respond to questions and requests.
The ranking system includes four tiers of installers: Approved, Advanced, Elite, and Elite+. If a solar company doesn't meet the Approved criteria, they aren't allowed to join our Marketplace.
Elite+ installers are the most experienced, chosen, and celebrated companies on the Marketplace, having provided exceptional service to a high volume of shoppers for at least a year.
Elite installers earn top ratings from customers, endorsements from vendors, and win customers more frequently than their peers.
Advanced installers are among the top half of companies on the Marketplace for responsiveness, reputation, results.
Approved installers passed our rigorous screening criteria for experience, licensing, and positive reviews.
Common questions about Texas solar installers

How many solar companies are in Texas?

Should you choose a local or national solar installer?
According to a study by the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) (formerly National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)), solar quotes from national installers are about 10% higher, on average, compared to those provided by local installers. However, if you decide a national installer is the best choice for your home solar panel installation, here are some of the biggest companies to consider: Sunrun, Freedom Forever, Trinity Solar, Tesla, and Momentum Solar.
How to pick the best solar installer
There are plenty of reputable solar installers out there. How can you distinguish the best from the rest? We consider the following questions before allowing installers to join the EnergySage Marketplace.
Do they quote high-quality equipment?
High-quality installers care about their reputation. They want to install equipment that performs well and will last a long time. If you receive quotes with equipment that you can't find much information about, that can be a red flag. Just keep in mind that equipment shortages are prevalent right now—but high-quality installers will still only install equipment that they stand behind.
To determine whether the equipment is trustworthy, first ensure it's included in EnergySage's solar panel, inverter, or battery equipment guide. Then see how we rate it relative to other equipment.
You can also check to see if the installer has any manufacturer endorsements, which attest to their expertise in installing that brand's products. Most manufacturers require installers to undergo a vetting process to ensure they're appropriately licensed and qualified before issuing them an endorsement.
How does their warranty compare to other installers?
In the unlikely event there’s an issue with your solar panel system, it’s important to know who to call. Multiple warranties come with your solar panel system, including manufacturer warranties for the various equipment and your installer's workmanship warranty.
How many years of experience do they have?
Solar is a growing industry that attracts contractors from many backgrounds—sometimes only loosely related to solar. But to feel confident in your solar panels, you'll want to work with an installer who has plenty of experience designing custom systems.
At EnergySage, we verify that all installers have at least two to three years of legitimate experience designing and installing solar panel systems before we let them join our Marketplace.
Are they licensed, insured, and certified?
Having the proper licenses and insurance policies is the bare minimum requirement for solar installers. But different states require different policies for solar installers.
Do they use subcontractors?
Some solar companies rely on subcontractors to perform some–or all–the work during your solar installation. Don’t let this put you off: It’s entirely standard procedure in the industry.
Do they have good user reviews?
The fastest way to evaluate an installer's reputation is to look through reviews from actual customers.
Step-by-step guide
How to install solar panels
Getting solar panels installed takes time—especially if you're working with a quality installer in high demand. Here's a general outline of what to expect, from choosing a solar company to powering your home with solar energy.
- Compare quotes and sign a contract with a solar installer.
- Your installer conducts a site visit, either at your house or virtually.
- Your installer fills out and submits any required permits and documents and orders your equipment.
- Your solar panel installation takes place over one to three days (on average). Installation day includes preparing your roof with racking, setting up wiring, placing panels and inverters, and attaching everything.
- A representative from your town government inspects your system and provides approval for interconnection.
How much does solar cost in Texas?
Based on the latest data from the EnergySage Marketplace, the average Texas homeowner needs a 12.65 kW solar panel system to cover their electric bills. That'll set you back about $28,455 before any available incentives. It's possible you may have access to some state or local incentives that could help lower the price.
