Save on energy
Texas energy rates can vary, they can be more expensive than you think. Going solar can help you avoid these high rates and you can see savings. You can power your home during the day, and save excess energy in your batteries. The goal is to design your system to offset** your energy consumption so you do not need to purchase energy from the grid.
Preserve Texas’s outdoors
In the spring, blue bonnets bring color to the state, making it look like a painting. Its outdoor beauty is extensive, which is why many homeowners have already decided to go solar. Sure solar can help save you money each month, but it is also one major way to help reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in Texas. It can help preserve the state’s natural beauty for years to come.
Invest in your home
Your home is your biggest asset, and you probably want to continue to invest in it. Installing a solar system may increase your home’s value and help it become more attractive to potential buyers. Texas homes are currently valued at an average $224,466, a 7.5% increase over the past year. Keep up with rising home values by investing in your home***.
Be prepared for outages
You may have read about or experienced the snowstorm that caused the Texas blackout of 2021. The unforeseen storm caused an increase in energy demand, causing the grid to fail. You may not be able to predict the weather in Texas, but you can prepare. If you have a solar system with batteries, you can use the excess energy stored in the batteries to heat or cool your home during extreme weather. Depending on how much excess energy is stored, batteries can keep you running for an extended period of time.
Have predictable payments
It is no secret that Texas can have very warm months. Many utility providers increase energy rates as demand surges. During extreme weather, when you need power the most, demand is at its highest and so are the rates. Going solar gives you back your freedom to plan ahead. Solar can help you budget monthly energy costs and focus on what’s important. Your monthly solar payment will remain the same for your system. As for your energy utility bill, in some cases you may only have a minimum bill to budget for. Make your monthly budget easier and more predictable.
Solar incentives in Texas
The incentives for going solar in Texas vary significantly between the state’s different utility companies. For example, Austin Energy offers a $2,500 residential rebate and CPS Energy (City of San Antonio) offers a $2,500 residential rebate. Other local utilities may offer their own incentives for qualified customers. Additionally, Texas homeowners can benefit from the solar energy system property tax exemption, which exempts you from paying property taxes on the added home value from installed solar panels.
Texas homeowners are also eligible for the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC).**** The ITC allows you to deduct 26 percent of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes.
