How much does installing solar panels cost in Dallas, TX?
In Dallas, the cost of solar installation itself can be as little as $0 down for qualifying homeowners. Just like you don’t pay a utility company to install power lines, with the Sunrun Solar Subscription, Sunrun solar installers set up your home solar system at little to no upfront cost. You then pay an affordable, fixed monthly rate for the energy your panels produce over 25 years—replacing part of your utility bill.
Solar panel systems are designed uniquely for your home. Therefore, if you choose to purchase your home solar system, solar installation costs will depend on various factors, including the number of panels being installed, what additional equipment you select–such as a backup battery, and any applicable incentives you may be eligible for and can utilize. The best way to understand solar costs is to meet with one of our local Dallas solar energy consultants. A Sunrun representative will assess your home and energy usage and provide you with a customized quote.
Are there specific Dallas solar incentives for going solar?
There are a few Texas solar utility rebates available but Sunrun doesn’t participate in them. However, for those seeking to own residential solar panel systems, the 30% Residential Clean Energy federal solar tax credit helps reduce the large upfront investment. This federal tax credit will begin to decrease in 2033.
While net metering isn't widely available in Texas, many Retail Electric Providers (REPs) offer solar buyback rates that allow you to earn credits for the excess solar power your solar panels produce. Solar buyback programs are available for both subscription and owned home solar systems.
