How We Evaluate Dallas Solar Companies
We evaluate Dallas solar installers based on NABCEP PV Installation Professional certification, licensed electrical contractor status (Texas TDLR), Oncor net metering qualification, and verified homeowner reviews.
Dallas homeowners served by Oncor Electric Delivery can participate in the Oncor net metering program, earning retail-rate credits for excess solar generation. The city's deregulated electricity market also means solar-plus-storage can eliminate exposure to volatile Oncor TDU delivery charges during peak demand periods.
Texas PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing is available in many DFW municipalities, allowing homeowners to finance solar through property tax assessments with no upfront cost. We verify that each listed company is familiar with the PACE application process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in Dallas TX
How much do solar panels cost in Dallas TX?
A typical 6–8 kW residential solar system in Dallas costs between $15,000 and $23,000 before incentives. After the 30% federal ITC, net cost falls to $10,500 to $16,100. Texas has no state solar rebate, but the federal ITC is available through 2032, and some Oncor service territories offer additional incentives.
Does Oncor offer net metering for Dallas solar customers?
Yes. Oncor Electric Delivery offers a net metering program for residential solar customers in its service territory. Excess generation is credited against your energy charges. Because Texas has a deregulated retail electricity market, you also choose your Retail Electric Provider (REP) — confirm that your REP is solar-friendly before installation.
What is Texas PACE financing for solar?
Texas PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) allows homeowners in participating municipalities to finance solar and energy efficiency improvements through property tax assessments. There's no upfront cost, no traditional loan qualification, and repayment is tied to the property. Not all Dallas municipalities participate — your installer should confirm eligibility before recommending PACE.
Is battery backup worth it for Dallas solar?
Battery backup is increasingly popular in Dallas after Winter Storm Uri (2021) exposed grid vulnerabilities. A solar-plus-battery system can power critical loads during outages. The Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ Battery are the most commonly installed options in DFW. Battery storage systems may also qualify for the 30% federal ITC when installed alongside solar.
