Common questions
Residential solar in Austin, answered straight
- How much do solar panels cost in Austin?
- It depends on your home's energy use, your roof, and the system size, so a real number beats a ballpark. The instant estimate sizes a system to your actual usage and shows you the price in a few minutes. No dealer fees or commissioned-sales markups are baked in.
- How many solar panels does my home need?
- Enough to cover most of your yearly electricity use, which comes down to how much you use and how much sun your roof gets. The estimate starts you at roughly 100% of your usage, and you can size it up or down from there. We drew the actual math from Austin Energy's published rates, including why bigger stops paying at a certain point.
- Is solar worth it for an Austin home?
- Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't, and we'll tell you straight. It depends on your roof, your usage, and your utility. We even wrote up the cases where solar isn't worth it.
- What makes Honest Solar different?
- We're a construction company that does solar, not a sales organization. No commissioned salespeople, no dealer fees, and no pressure. You get a clear estimate and an honest answer, even when that answer is to wait. More in our solar myths.
