Georgetown, Texas
Like many homeowners in Georgetown, Texas, this family was looking to take control of their electricity costs. With rates from Oncor (DFW) ($0.15/kWh) and CenterPoint (Houston) ($0.16/kWh) and Austin Energy ($0.12/kWh), the numbers made sense — especially with Texas’s available state and utility incentive programs.
In Texas, solar homeowners can benefit from programs like ERCOT utility-specific buyback. Property tax exempt (100%).
Important: The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired on December 31, 2025. All savings calculations for this project reflect $0 federal tax credit for homeowner-purchased systems.
We designed a 8.5 kW system using 25 Q.CELLS Q.PEAK DUO ML-G11+ panels (340W each). Q.CELLS Q.PEAK DUO panels feature half-cut cell technology with excellent anti-degradation performance. Made by Hanwha, they carry a 25-year product warranty and are widely recognized for consistent real-world output.
The Enphase IQ7+ microinverters provide panel-level optimization and monitoring. Each panel operates independently, so shading on one panel doesn’t drag down the others. The Enphase Enlighten app provides real-time production data.
Equipment Reviews
Texas operates on the deregulated ERCOT grid. Solar buyback rates vary by retail electricity provider. Some REPs offer 1:1 net metering equivalent plans.
Federal Tax Credit Status: The residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025. Homeowner-purchased systems receive $0 federal tax credit. All savings estimates above are calculated without any federal credit. Third-party owned systems (leases/PPAs) may still benefit from the commercial ITC (Section 48/48E) claimed by the financing company.
“Texas sunshine means our system produces way more than the northeast would. NuWatt designed a system that offsets nearly 100% of our electricity even with AC running all summer.”
