Why Texas Direct Solar

Licensed. Certified.
Houston's Own.

A lot of solar companies operate in Houston. Most are national chains with local subcontractors. Texas Direct Solar is different — we're a family-owned operation built on the belief that solar should be straightforward — honest pricing, licensed electricians, and real accountability from a local team that's been doing this in Houston since 2017.

That means when you call us, you talk to us. When we install your system, it's our crew. When something needs attention years later, we're still here.

NABCEP Certified

The highest credential in the solar industry. Fewer than 5% of installers in the U.S. hold NABCEP certification — we're one of them.

Licensed Electrical Contractor #34757

We hold a Texas Electrical Contractor License — which means we can legally handle all electrical disconnection and reconnection. Most roofing companies offering D&R cannot.

Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Before Going Solar
Yes — and here's why. The residential tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025 for homeowners who buy a system. However, through our $0 Down Energy Plan, our PPA partner owns the system, qualifies for the commercial tax credit (Section 48E — still 30% through 2027), and passes those savings to you as lower monthly payments. Houston's high utility rates and 4.5–6 daily peak sun hours still make solar one of the strongest financial decisions a homeowner can make here.
Three things: we're family-owned (you talk to our team directly — not a call center), NABCEP-certified (fewer than 5% of US installers hold this credential), and we hold a Texas Electrical Contractor License (#34757). That last point matters especially for detach & reset work — many roofing companies offer panel removal but aren't licensed to handle the electrical disconnection legally.
The physical install typically takes 1–3 days once permits are approved. Permit and CenterPoint interconnection approval usually takes 2–6 weeks depending on your HOA and CenterPoint's current workload. We handle all of that paperwork — you don't deal with any of it.
Yes — we service and repair all major brands including SunPower, Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla Solar, and Generac. We specialize in servicing "orphaned" systems whose original installers (like SunPower) have shut down or stopped serving Houston. Our detach & reset service also handles any brand during roof replacement.
Yes. The commercial solar ITC (Section 48E) is fully active at 30% through 2027. Businesses, churches, warehouses, and multifamily properties all qualify — and you can also stack MACRS accelerated depreciation on top of the ITC. The construction start deadline for the 2027 safe harbor is July 4, 2026. Contact us for a free commercial energy audit and financial model.
When done correctly by a licensed contractor, no. We use proper flashing and waterproofing on every roof penetration. If we notice any pre-existing roof issues during the site assessment, we'll tell you before we start. All our work is permitted and inspected — which protects your roof warranty.
It depends on your energy usage, roof size, shading, and panel efficiency. For a typical Houston home with a $200–$300/month CenterPoint bill, most systems are 8–15 panels (6–12 kW). We design every system from your actual 12-month usage data, not estimates. Our free consultation includes a full system design before you make any commitment.
