Houston FAQs
As of 2022, a Freedom Solar customer can expect to spend an average of $38,000 for a 9.1-kilowatt solar panel system. This is before any rebates and solar incentives go into effect, such as the federal solar tax credit and local ones based on your city and state.
Read our blog on how much solar panels cost in Houston for more information.
Solar panels have several benefits. They can lower your monthly electricity costs, increase your home resale value, lower your annual taxes, reduce harmful impacts on the environment, and much more.
No, you cannot get free solar in Texas. But there are various solar rebates and incentives available in Texas to help lower the upfront and long-term costs of going solar.
This cost will vary depending on the make and model of your solar panels. However, for a 9-kW Maxeon solar panel system from Freedom Solar, the average cost is $38,000 as of 2021. This price includes the parts, labor, and project management costs such as HOA approvals, permits, and inspections.
Solar panels are proven to increase your home’s property value and resale price. Fortunately, Texas law provides property tax exemptions to ensure homeowners won’t have to pay additional taxes based on the increased value of their home.
Solar panels are perfectly legal in Texas. The Texas House Bill (HB) 362 limits property owners associations (POAs) and homeowners associations (HOAs) from outright restricting solar panel systems. However, homeowners still have to follow certain conditions under their HOA.
The federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) is 30% for projects installed before 2032, and will decrease to 26% in 2033.
Unfortunately, Texas doesn’t offer a state-wide tax credit. However, there are plenty of other state- and city-level rebates and incentives to take advantage of.
Every city in Texas varies slightly in what they offer people for going solar. While you can receive the solar federal tax credit as well as a property tax exemption, Houston won’t give you money outright to go solar.
We service homeowners and businesses across the Houston area, including Katy, Cypress, Spring, Sugar Land, Tomball, and more!

Solar Panels And Tesla Powerwall
Home battery backup is an ideal solution for power outages caused by hurricanes, and Freedom Solar Power is the largest distributor of Tesla Powerwall batteries in Texas. We have installed Maxeon solar power systems combined with the Tesla Powerwall 2 battery for Houston customers including Pat Wood, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Public Utility Commission of Texas and current member of the National Petroleum Council. “Freedom Solar’s arrival to the world energy capital with its cost-competitive, premium products sends a clear message that the time has arrived for solar power across Texas,” he says. “Adding the capability to store solar power with a battery backup during outages makes it the ideal choice for literally everyone, as I found out during last year’s Hurricane Harvey.”
Home Battery Backup Systems
Backup power is a system that connects to electricity sources, typically solar panels and the electric grid, to store excess power and return it to your home when you need it, generally because of a power outage during an emergency. In most cases, your backup power supply will come from a generator or a battery. Today’s solar batteries are also intelligent energy management systems that can optimize your home’s energy usage to take advantage of utility time-of-use plans or to ensure that your electric car is charged with solar power.
Backup Power Systems We Offer:
Tesla Electric Virtual Power Plant

This virtual power plant program is analogous to a “utility” company. Homeowners pay their monthly electric bill to Tesla Electric.
