Texas Panhandle
Solar panel installation in Amarillo, TX
Pure Solar installs residential solar across Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle. Amarillo has one of the strongest solar resources in the state at roughly 5.7 peak sun hours a day, and its cooler average temperatures actually help panels run more efficiently.
The Panhandle gets more sun than almost anywhere in Texas, with cooler temps that keep panels efficient. Systems here are engineered for high wind and hail.

Roofs and weather in Amarillo
The Panhandle pairs exceptional sun with high wind, blowing dust, and hail. Cooler ambient temperatures are a genuine advantage — panels lose efficiency as they heat up, so Amarillo systems often outperform hotter parts of Texas per installed watt.
Permitting and interconnection
Xcel Energy (Southwestern Public Service) serves Amarillo and runs the interconnection and net-metering process. We file the application, schedule inspection, and coordinate the meter exchange.

Amarillo solar questions
Is Amarillo really better for solar than South Texas?
For production per panel, often yes. Amarillo gets more peak sun hours than most of the state and its cooler air temperatures reduce the efficiency losses panels suffer in extreme heat.
Does Xcel Energy offer net metering in Amarillo?
Xcel/SPS runs an interconnection and net-metering process for residential distributed generation. We handle the filing and confirm the current terms on your quote.
How do Panhandle winds affect a solar install?
They drive the engineering. Racking, attachment spacing, and permitting are all calculated to your address's wind load before anything goes on the roof.
Do I need to clean panels in the Panhandle?
Occasional cleaning helps here more than in most regions because of blowing dust. We offer inspection and cleaning as a service call.
