Tips for Starting a Solar Business in Texas

The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is the single biggest factor in your customers' buying decisions. Know the current rate and expiration timeline cold.
Become a certified installer for at least two major panel manufacturers. Certification unlocks better wholesale pricing and warranty terms.
Permitting and interconnection timelines vary wildly by utility. In some territories it takes 2 weeks. In others, 6 months. Map this before you set customer expectations.
Roof condition kills more solar deals than price objections. Partner with a roofer or learn to assess roof life remaining.
