A roof you’re proud of. Solar designed around the way you live. Start your Texas solar estimate, explore our installations and plan the right array and optional battery backup for your home.
Plan My Installation ↓The value of a Texas array depends on your roof, electricity use and account arrangement. Retail-provider buyback plans, Austin Energy production credits and other municipal or cooperative tariffs work differently. Compare the complete installation price and electricity terms together. NuWatt’s Texas project records show real array and battery configurations; use the instant-estimate tool to start planning your own home.
A solar plan built around your Texas bill
Compare the full purchase price with 25 or 30 years of bill savings. Start with your electricity account: Austin production credits, CPS monthly net billing, or your own retail-provider contract.
Austin Energy inside-city starting example. Select your electricity account or check your ZIP.
* Starting solar-only example: $2.45/W. Actual price per watt varies by system size, equipment and installation requirements. Edit to match your itemized quote; batteries and site additions are extra.
Maintenance defaults to $0. Import charges grow 3% annually by default; fixed fees stay flat. Solar credits grow 0% by default, independently of imports. These are editable projections. Retail direct use starts at an assumed 50% of PV output, capped by monthly load; actual timing requires interval data. Batteries are excluded.
Current Texas tariffs need verification. Retry rates, or ask NuWatt to review your electricity bill.
Verified database rates are unavailable. Retry above or bring your current bill for a review.
Start with your home's energy use
Explore a starting panel count and the energy your essential circuits need. Then use your address for an instant roof estimate.
Add the kWh used on your last 12 electricity bills. Use energy consumption, rather than the dollar amount.
Enter your annual kWh to see a starting array size.
Uses a Austin production reference, rather than a measurement of your roof. Shade, roof direction and usable space change the design. Your utility must approve the final system size.
PVWatts roof-mounted reference: south-facing, 30° tilt, 14% system losses, standard modules and 1,485 kWh per kW DC annually. Stored model result retrieved 2026-09-25. We round up to whole panels; panel power is an adjustable planning choice.
How PVWatts estimates productionEnter the combined average power of the circuits you want to keep running and how long you want them on.
Enter your average load and duration to see energy use.
Use average consumption, not an appliance's startup or nameplate power. This is load energy before battery losses and reserve. Battery selection also depends on usable capacity, continuous output and startup demand.
A starting size helps you plan. Your roof review and actual utility account determine the final design and savings.
Get My Instant Solar EstimateStart with an instant solar estimate, then compare a complete proposal using the electricity agreement for your address. Bring these details so the savings review reflects your home:
Your home. Your installation plan.
A Texas solar proposal should bring the roof layout and the electric bill together. Share a year of usage, the utility delivering electricity and the provider supplying it. NuWatt can design around the roof faces you want to use, summer cooling and any planned EV charging, then explain the equipment and installation scope.
In a retail-choice area, bring the Electricity Facts Label and separate solar buyback agreement. Compare import energy charges, delivery charges, monthly fees, export-credit limits and the contract term together. Tell us if you plan to switch providers. A high advertised buyback rate alone does not tell you what the complete annual bill will be.
Austin Energy credits all metered solar production and bills household consumption separately. CPS Energy uses different billing terms; cooperative and other municipal accounts also need their own review. Your proposal should name the actual account arrangement rather than applying an Austin example across Texas.
Discuss a balanced panel layout, shade, roof age, vents and the roof faces available for panels. Ask how local wind, mounting and electrical requirements affect the design. Have roof repairs, service-panel work or other site additions itemized before you compare installation prices.
Start with what you want running during an outage: refrigeration, lighting, a well pump or selected cooling equipment. Ask for usable battery capacity, power output, the proposed backup circuits and compatible control equipment. Compare the solar-only design and the solar-plus-storage design as separate priced options.

View installationThese project records show individual installations and equipment. Your roof design, bill and electricity agreement determine the proposal for your home.
Explore the existing instant-estimate tool, then bring annual usage and the current electricity agreement to the property review. Discuss future cooling or EV loads separately from today's consumption.
Review the panel arrangement, wiring and optional backup equipment. Put any roof, structural or electrical additions in the itemized proposal so the price describes the complete planned work.
Keep the permit, interconnection application, installation, inspection and utility permission to operate as separate milestones. Ask which documents you receive at each stage.
Keep your electricity contract and monitoring access together. Review production, grid purchases and credited electricity against the terms used in the proposal, especially when a retail contract renews.
Go deeper on the part of your project you're planning
Match each benefit to the account and project that qualifies. Keep utility bill credits, incentive payments and tax treatment separate in the proposal.
Oncor’s 2026 solar program manual includes residential options with and without storage. Awards depend on the eligible system, its production and the available program budget; Oncor pays participating service providers. Ask for the approved amount passed through to your project, and show whether it is already deducted from the quoted price. Do not add the same incentive twice. If the design includes storage, compare the complete solar-plus-battery price and the proposed backup circuits.
Buyback compensation is set by your electricity agreement. Compare purchased electricity, exported electricity, delivery charges, fees and credit limits together before selecting a plan.
Eligible residential accounts can receive a $4,000 rebate for a qualifying new, mostly unshaded system of at least 3 kW DC. The quiz, participating contractor and confirmation before installation are required. For systems under 1 MW AC, the Value of Solar credit is 12.89¢/kWh effective October 1, 2026: all metered production earns credits and all household consumption is billed separately. Confirm the project's rebate eligibility and contractor participation before counting the rebate.
Texas Tax Code §11.27 provides an exemption for qualifying solar-device value and the real-property value added by the device. Review the application with your appraisal district; the exemption does not remove taxes on the rest of your home.
A CPS Energy account needs its own net-consumption and excess-generation billing terms. The utility currently lists no residential rooftop-solar rebate. Review its solar billing rules instead of carrying over Austin's rebate or production-credit arrangement.
Program sources checked October 8, 2026. Rates, enrollment requirements and individual eligibility can change; confirm the terms for your application.
Find your city below, or start with your address so NuWatt can review the roof, electricity account and planned installation with you.
Use NuWatt’s instant solar estimate to start with your address. For the proposal, bring annual electricity use, your delivery utility, electricity provider and buyback or production-credit terms. Your roof and account details shape the final design and savings review.
Check your account's agreement. A retail provider's export credit, import price, delivery charges and credit limits are separate terms. Austin Energy uses a different production-credit arrangement. Request a comparison using the actual terms for your address.
Austin Energy credits all metered solar production and bills all household consumption separately. Its Value of Solar credit for systems under 1 MW AC is 12.89¢/kWh effective October 1, 2026. This is a production-credit rate, not a Texas-wide electricity-import or export rate.
List the loads you want running during an outage. Ask for usable battery capacity, power output, compatible control equipment and the circuits included in backup. Compare the battery and electrical-work price separately from the solar-only installation.
NuWatt’s Texas service-area pages include Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth and other listed cities. Start with your address so our team can review the property, electricity arrangement and installation scope with you.
The project still needs the applicable inspection, meter work and utility permission to operate. At handoff, review monitoring access, the equipment schedule and written coverage. Keep the electricity agreement so renewal terms can be compared with the proposal's assumptions.
