It’s no secret—the Houston solar and Greater Texas solar markets have experienced rapid growth in recent years. Texas is a near-perfect environment for solar-based energy production to thrive, and more and more homeowners want to be a part of this “energy gold rush” and go solar for themselves.
Since opening for business in 2017, we’ve helped thousands of people like you switch to clean, reliable solar power. During this time, our focus has remained fixed on “doing right by our community and the environment that sustains it”—a mission that has distinguished us from the bad actors who seek to take advantage of a booming solar market at the expense of their customers.
Below are the steps in our process, from the inception of a new project to power generation. Read on to learn how to adopt solar the right way.
From the get-go, it’s critical to have open communication with homeowners to discover the motivations, goals, needs, and expectations for their new solar array system. Without the discovery phase, the system may not align with the needs of the residence, and installers who try to use a “one-size-fits-all” discover they’re in for lots of trouble. We build custom-designed systems to meet our clients’ goals, not our own – that’s how we’ve always done it.
Since 2017 Sunshine Renewable Solutions happily serves the Houston, TX, area with local solar panel installation offices in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Amarillo, and El Paso.
It’s not simply slapping the panels on the roof and the inverter on the wall. Suppose a system is designed poorly or not up to regulatory standards. In that case, aside from the poor performance and potential safety issues, the design will not be approved, and the whole process will have to start over again; this is why our system engineering standards are above reproach.
Having 50+ combined years of experience in the Greater Houston area has given us the advantage of knowing what to expect from local municipalities and state regulations regarding permitting. Permitting is challenging enough, and getting through the red tape is just a part of the process, but we’re well-equipped to do so as quickly as possible.
No one enjoys having their day interrupted by banging nails or footsteps across the roof. However, the solar installation process can go smoothly when teams follow simple guidelines: respect the property, the schedule, and the work. Our project managers work with clients to create an installation schedule that meets their needs and minimizes disruption. Our OSHA-certified crews are talented industry vets with a passion for the work.
Solar power is wonderful for many reasons; it contributes to a healthier/greener environment, provides an alternative to finite and volatile fossil fuels, and allows homeowners to produce/own their energy, not rent it from a supplier. A new solar array installation is expected to at least pay for itself well within its lifespan. Some homeowners may have excess energy they wish to sell back to the grid via net metering. Once homeowners go solar, they’ll have little-to-no financial incentive to switch back to reliance on the grid.
The Texas energy market—from generation plants to grid operators—enjoys a lack of innovation and competition which has allowed them to prioritize their profits over the quality of the product they deliver to their end user. As a result, Texas households pay more and more every year into an increasingly unreliable grid network powered mainly by dirty, coal-fired power plants.
Investing in your home by installing your own means of renewable energy generation is truly the only way to hedge yourself against the escalating cost of dirty, unreliable grid energy. After paying back the initial investment of installation, most of our residential solar energy systems are projected to produce tens of thousands of dollars worth of savings within their operating lifetime.
Despite what you may have heard in the news since the passage of the Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, homeowners who install solar and/or batteries in 2026 and beyond can take advantage of strong federal income-tax incentives equal to 40% of the total cost of installation or more. The key to unlocking all the tax incentives available to you is working with a knowledgeable, experienced installer.
Sunshine Renewable Solutions handles everything from installation to form preparation, so you have exactly what you need to claim every available tax incentive with confidence.
Are you one of the millions of Texans who suffer from energy anxiety every time a storm rolls through your area? It’s a shame, but it’s true—as far as we’ve come with advancements in technology, the electricity that powers it is as unreliable as it’s ever been.
Fortunately, we’ve got the antidote. When combined with energy storage, solar energy systems are able to continue producing electricity during grid outages. A solar energy + battery backup system professionally designed to fit your household energy consumption can keep your lights on indefinitely while repairs are made to the electric grid after a powerful hurricane or a freak winter storm.
Sometimes it makes more sense to install the panels on a ground mount. Check out this testimonial video to learn more, and contact us if you are interested in doing the same!
