My CenterPoint bill went from $340 to $18 in the first month. I didn't believe it until I saw it. The crew knocked it out in two days, no mess, no drama. Wish I'd done this three years ago.

I got quotes from four companies. Houston Power Solar was the only one that explained everything clearly and didn't try to upsell me. Honest pricing, excellent install, and they actually answered when I called afterward.

After Hurricane Beryl knocked our power out for 5 days, we added a battery to our system. Now I sleep easy knowing we're covered. These guys know what Houston needs — not what California assumes.

Zero down solar

What is a PPA — and why it's the smartest way to go solar in 2026

The federal residential tax credit expired December 31, 2025 for homeowners who buy or finance solar. A PPA is now the most powerful way to save — because we own the system and pass our tax savings directly to you.

How a PPA works
1
We install at zero cost to you
Houston Power Solar owns, installs, and maintains the panels on your roof. You pay absolutely nothing upfront.
2
You buy the electricity — at our lower rate
Houston grid averages 15.86¢/kWh and rising. Your PPA rate locks in at 10–15¢/kWh — saving you money every single month, forever.
3
We handle everything — forever
Maintenance, repairs, monitoring, performance — all on us for the full 25-year term. One call, we handle it.

✓ Why PPA beats buying in 2026

The 30% residential federal tax credit expired Dec 31, 2025. Homeowners who buy or finance solar now get zero federal incentive. But under a PPA, we own the system and claim the commercial ITC (Section 48E) — then pass those savings to you through a lower rate. It's the smartest option on the market right now.

Common questions

Everything Houston homeowners ask us

Straight answers — no solar jargon, no runaround.

With a purchase, you own the panels — but the 30% federal tax credit expired December 31, 2025, so homeowners who buy now get zero federal incentive. With a PPA, Houston Power Solar owns the system, we claim the commercial tax credit (Section 48E), and we pass those savings to you through a lower electricity rate. You pay $0 upfront and start saving immediately.
Houston PPA rates typically run 10–15¢/kWh. The current Houston grid rate averages 15.86¢/kWh and has risen 23% since 2021. With a PPA you lock in a lower, predictable rate from day one — and never worry about CenterPoint raising prices again.
The residential 30% tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025 for homeowners who buy or finance solar directly. However, the commercial ITC (Section 48E) is still active — and under a PPA, we own the system so we claim it and pass the savings to you through your lower per-kWh rate. This is one of the biggest reasons PPA is now the strongest option for Houston homeowners.
Several strong incentives remain for Houston homeowners in 2026: (1) Texas Property Tax Exemption — 100% of the added home value from solar is exempt from property taxes under TX Tax Code §11.27, saving $450–$650/year permanently. (2) CenterPoint Rebate — approximately $135 per installed kW, subject to fund availability. (3) Solar Buyback Plans — choose a Retail Electric Provider (REP) like Chariot Energy (~10¢/kWh) or TXU Solar Buyback Match to earn credits for excess power sent to the grid. We help you pick the best plan.
No. Under Texas Tax Code §11.27, solar adds value to your home but that added value is 100% exempt from property taxes. Your home is worth $15,000–$25,000 more — and your tax bill doesn't go up a single dollar. This alone saves Houston homeowners $450–$650 every year for the life of the system.
The PPA transfers to the new homeowner. Most buyers see it as a strong selling point — lower electricity bills from day one with zero effort or cost on their part. Many Houston homes with solar sell faster and at higher prices than comparable homes without it.
We do — for the full 25-year term. Since we own the system, all maintenance, monitoring, repairs, and replacements are our responsibility. You call us, we fix it. Same day callbacks guaranteed. No ticket system, no waiting on hold.
Texas has no statewide net metering law, but Houston is in a deregulated energy market — which means you choose your own Retail Electric Provider (REP). Many REPs offer solar buyback plans that pay you 4¢–12¢/kWh for excess power you send to the grid. The best in 2026 include Chariot Energy Solar Buyback (~10¢/kWh) and TXU Solar Buyback Match. We help every customer pick the right plan for maximum savings.
You have three options: (1) Purchase the system at fair market value — typically very low after 25 years. (2) Renew the PPA for another term and keep enjoying lower rates. (3) Have the panels removed at no cost to you. No pressure, your choice.
No. Texas law explicitly prohibits HOAs from banning solar panels in almost all cases. If you own the roof, you have the legal right to power it with solar. We've handled HOA paperwork for hundreds of Houston-area homes and know exactly how to handle any pushback.
Every system we install is engineered for Texas conditions — rated for 130 mph wind loads, Class 4 impact-resistant panels, and extreme heat performance. After Hurricane Beryl in 2024, our customers with battery backup stayed online for days while neighbors were in the dark. Houston weather is exactly why we built our systems the way we do.
