FAQs
You pick your electricity provider while CenterPoint delivers the power. Solar works with any provider, though some plans credit your extra energy more. We help you find the best fit.
With a battery, your system can power the essential loads you choose during an outage, including after a storm. A battery stores a finite amount of energy, so runtime depends on your battery capacity, how much you use, and how much sun is available to recharge. It’s sized around the loads that matter most to you, not unlimited whole-home power. For safety, a solar-only system without a battery shuts down during an outage.
Panels still produce in heat, though very high temperatures slightly reduce efficiency, which is why we size every system around real Houston conditions rather than a national average. Humidity has minimal effect on production.
Both provide backup, but differently. A generator needs fuel and many run only when you start it; a solar battery kicks in automatically, runs quietly, and recharges from your panels with no fuel to store. A battery’s runtime is limited by its capacity, while a generator runs as long as you have fuel.
Incentives change over time and depend on your location and financing. California’s net billing rules, current SMUD programs, and any active state or local incentives all factor into your numbers, and your quote shows which ones apply to your home.
The on-site install is typically one to three days, depending on your system size and roof. The full timeline from signing to switch-on, including design, permitting, and utility approval, usually runs several weeks and varies by location.
