Interested in solar at your new place?

Texas gets 200+ sunny days a year. The economics changed in 2026 — the 30% federal credit for buying a system outright ended on December 31, 2025, though a lease or power-purchase agreement can still capture it through 2027. We'll introduce you to one licensed Texas installer for a free quote so you can see real numbers for your roof.

Where are you in the process?

I own (or will own) this home. Solar requires homeowner sign-off for installation and financing. I agree that Utilify (Limelight Energy LLC) may share my name, address, email, phone number, and the solar details I entered with one licensed Texas solar installer so they can prepare a free quote, and that Utilify and that installer may contact me by email, phone call, and text message about solar — including calls or texts placed with automated dialing or a prerecorded voice if I gave a phone number. Consent is not a condition of any purchase, message and data rates may apply, and I can withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP or emailing [email protected]. See our Privacy Policy.

We email you first to confirm. No installer gets your details until you click that confirmation link. Utilify earns a referral fee if you go ahead with an installer — you pay nothing.

What solar actually looks like in Texas right now

Buying outright: no federal credit

The 30% residential credit (Section 25D) was ended early by the 2025 tax law and expired December 31, 2025. If you buy a system today, there is no federal credit to claim.

Lease or PPA: 30% through 2027

Under third-party ownership the installer owns the system and claims the 30% commercial credit (Section 48E), passing the benefit through in your rate. That path is available through 2027.

Property-tax exemption

Texas exempts 100% of the value solar adds to your home (Tax Code §11.27). File Form 50-123 with your county appraisal district — the deadline is April 30.

No state rebate, no mandated net metering

Texas has neither. What you get for exported power depends entirely on your retail provider's solar buyback plan, and some utilities (Oncor, AEP Texas, Austin Energy, CPS Energy) offer their own rebates. Worth checking before you sign.
