Longhorn Solar

We take the time to explain everything and you'll be fully prepared to make an informed buying decision with a NO PRESSURE GUARANTEE. Above all, you'll start saving money fast with our efficient installation process handled by our in-house team (no sub-contractors). At Longhorn Solar, we've completed over 2,100 solar projects. We've learned a lot over the years and one thing is constant- every solar install is unique, so nothing is cookie cutter. We first assess your current energy consumption. Then, we do a detailed roof and shade analysis (including taking a look at where trees could overshadow your panels in the future).

If you're considering solar panels for your home in Austin, Dallas or San Antonio, you've come to the right place. Since 2009, Longhorn Solar has completed over 2,100 solar panel installations, saving our customers over $10.5M in avoided energy spending. We're a local, family-owned company with deep Texas roots, and we're licensed, insured and certified to the gills! We've even won some really neat awards! We have a heart for helping other locally owned businesses save money with solar. We especially love working with smaller companies trying to maximize every dollar.

Sunlight hits your solar panels, producing DC electricity (direct current, like your car runs on, but a whole lot more volts). A component called an inverter converts the DC into AC (alternating current, what your home runs on) and it feeds into your breaker box to power your home. Think of voltage as pressure. The inverter sets the voltage coming from your solar system SLIGHTLY higher than the grid voltage, ensuring your home uses solar first, and the grid second. Excess solar energy is fed onto the grid, generating a credit on your monthly bill.

Our Director of Operations is a Master Electrician and we have 6 NABCEP Certified Professionals who know solar inside and out. We've been vetted by the USDA, the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), the Mueller Megawatt Project and we sit on the San Antonio Solar Alliance Board. Approximately 50% of our sales leads come to us by way of referral from our satisfied homeowners. Since we control 100% of the process, we're able to maintain high levels of quality, customer service and on-going maintenance.
