Solar installation across Texas.
ETW Energy installs solar and battery storage for homes across Texas, from design and permitting through activation. Texas isn’t one solar market but several, and getting the design right starts from the rules that actually apply where you live.
Strong sun, long cooling seasons, and hard-won lessons about grid reliability make Texas a market where solar paired with storage is a practical, popular choice.
The Texas solar landscape
Much of Texas is on the deregulated ERCOT grid, where you choose your retail electricity provider — and some providers offer solar buyback plans that change how a system pays off. Cities like Austin and San Antonio are different: they’re served by municipal utilities (Austin Energy and CPS Energy) that run their own solar programs rather than following the deregulated market.
Because there’s no single statewide rule, the right design depends on your specific utility or retail plan. After repeated grid events, many Texans also add a battery for resilience — so their home keeps running when the grid does not.

Solar in Texas — common questions
Does Texas have net metering?
Not as a single statewide rule. In the deregulated ERCOT market your solar buyback depends on the retail provider and plan you choose, while municipal utilities like Austin Energy and CPS Energy set their own solar programs. We design around whichever applies to your home.
Why do so many Texas homeowners add a battery?
Resilience. After recent grid failures, a battery keeps essential circuits — or the whole home — running during outages, and lets you store your own solar instead of exporting it at a low rate.
