Roofs and weather in Austin
Central Texas brings heavy tree cover and hill-country roof angles, so shade analysis matters more here than almost anywhere else we work. We model shading across the year before finalizing panel placement, and design for long, hot summers.
Permitting and interconnection
Austin Energy is a municipal utility and runs its own interconnection and Value of Solar program, including a required solar education course for the rebate. Outside city limits, Pedernales Electric Co-op has its own process. We handle whichever applies to your address.

Austin solar questions
What is Austin Energy's Value of Solar credit?
Austin Energy credits every kilowatt-hour your system produces at a published Value of Solar rate, rather than netting it against your usage. The rate is set by Austin Energy and updated periodically.
Do I have to take a class to get Austin Energy's solar rebate?
Yes. Austin Energy requires customers to complete its solar education course before claiming the residential rebate. It is short and online, and we point you to it early so it never delays your project.
Does heavy tree shade rule out solar in Austin?
Not usually. We run a shade study on your roof first. Partial shade is handled with module-level electronics, and if a roof genuinely will not work, we tell you before you spend anything.
Am I on Austin Energy or Pedernales?
Inside Austin city limits you are almost always Austin Energy. Much of the surrounding Hill Country is Pedernales Electric Co-op. Your bill says which, and we confirm it during the site review.
