Roofs and weather in San Antonio
South Texas sun is strong and the cooling season is long. Tile and metal roofs are more common here than in other Texas markets, so mounting hardware and flashing details get specified per roof type rather than assumed.
Permitting and interconnection
CPS Energy runs the entire process as a municipal utility — application, inspection, and the net-billing meter. Because one organization owns every step, San Antonio interconnections are usually more predictable than deregulated markets.

San Antonio solar questions
Does CPS Energy pay for excess solar?
CPS Energy operates a net-billing arrangement that credits exported solar. Rates and program terms change, so we confirm the current terms in writing on your quote rather than quoting from memory.
Can solar go on a tile roof in San Antonio?
Yes. Tile requires different mounting hardware and careful flashing, which we spec during the site survey. It costs more labor than composition shingle but is routine work.
How long does CPS Energy take to approve solar?
Approval and the meter exchange typically fall inside the 6 to 12 week overall project window. CPS handling every step in house tends to keep it predictable.
Is San Antonio sunny enough for solar?
Yes — roughly 5.3 peak sun hours a day, well above the national average and enough to offset most of a typical home's usage with a properly sized system.
