Gulf Coast
Solar panel installation in Houston, TX
Pure Solar installs residential solar and battery backup across Greater Houston. Houston averages about 4.8 peak sun hours a day, most homes fit an 8 to 12 kW system, and it is our most common market for adding a battery because of storm-season outages.
Gulf Coast humidity means long AC seasons and storm-season outages. Houston is our most common market for solar-plus-battery, so the lights stay on when the grid doesn't.

Roofs and weather in Houston
Gulf Coast humidity means the longest air conditioning season in our service area, and hurricane season means real outage risk. We design for wind uplift near the coast and size battery backup around the circuits you actually need during an outage.
Permitting and interconnection
CenterPoint Energy delivers power in Houston and reviews the distributed generation application, while your retail provider handles billing and any solar buyback credit. We submit the CenterPoint paperwork and coordinate the meter change.

Houston solar questions
Will solar keep my Houston home powered during an outage?
Only if you add a battery. A grid-tied system without storage shuts down during an outage for lineworker safety. With a battery, we back up selected circuits such as the refrigerator, internet, and part of your cooling.
Does Houston humidity or heat hurt solar production?
High heat slightly lowers panel efficiency, which is why we account for temperature derating when sizing a Houston system rather than quoting an idealized number.
Who handles interconnection in Houston?
CenterPoint Energy, the delivery utility. Your retail electric provider is separate and determines what you are paid for exported solar.
Are Houston roofs suitable for solar?
Most are. The bigger question here is roof age — if your composition shingles are near end of life, we will recommend replacing before mounting, and we do that work in house.
