Solar Installation in Murphy, TX, With Every Cost Laid Out
We put solar on homes, add battery backup, track down why a system quit producing, and wash off the grime that cuts output. Before any work starts, you get the scope on paper: equipment, labor and whatever could change the price. We serve Murphy and nearby towns like Wylie and Plano.

How We Run a Job
Most of what people dislike about solar sales comes from vague numbers and pressure. We do it differently. Here is what that looks like on an actual job.
- 01
The scope is written down first
Your estimate lists the panel count, inverter type, mounting method, electrical work and permit fees as separate lines. If something is uncertain, like the condition of your main electrical panel, we note it and explain what it would cost if it turns out to be a problem.
- 02
No add-ons after you sign
If we find something on install day that the estimate did not cover, we stop and show you. Nothing extra gets done or billed until you agree to it.
- 03
We size for your bills, not our margin
We look at a full year of your electric usage before suggesting a system size. Sometimes the honest answer is a smaller system than you expected, or that your roof is too shaded to be worth it.
- 04
Photos of what we see
On repair visits and roof checks, we take photos of the wiring, the mounts and the panels so you can see the problem yourself. You don't have to take our word for it.
- 05
A clean yard when we leave
We pick up wire scraps, packaging and screws from your driveway and beds. Solar work happens outside your home, so we keep it tidy out there.
Our Solar Services
Five years in business and holders of the Liberty Mutual Platinum Safety Award, we back our solar work with a 10-year workmanship warranty. We do solar panel installation, roof-mounted solar, battery storage, solar repair and panel cleaning, and each job begins with a written scope you can review at home.
Solar Panel Installation
New solar systems for your home, sized to your actual power bills and priced line by line in writing before we set a date.
Battery Storage
Home batteries sized to the circuits you actually need during an outage, wired to work with your solar, and priced line by line in writing before any work begins.
Solar Repair
We track down low output, inverter faults, and damaged panels or wiring, then write up the fix and what it costs before any work starts.
Panel Cleaning
We wash dust, pollen and bird mess off your panels with soft water and soft brushes, then check the array for anything that needs a closer look.
Roof-Mounted Solar
Panels anchored to your rafters, every mount flashed against leaks, and a written scope you can read before we drill a single hole.
A Solar Company That Shows Its Math
We started this company because too many solar bids were a single number with a lot of fine print behind it. We would rather spend an extra half hour walking you through the parts list than have you find out later what was left out.
Our work is solar and only solar. We put in panels and batteries, sort out systems that are producing less than they should, and wash panels once dust and pollen start costing you output. If your roof needs work before panels go on, we will tell you plainly and give you time to have a roofer handle it first. North Texas summers are hard on equipment, and hail can crack glass, so we build every system to be serviced later and we come back when something needs attention.

From First Call to Switching On
A typical installation runs in four stages. The days on your roof are the short part; the paperwork takes longer.
- 1
Phone call and bill review
We talk about what you want solar to do for you and ask for about a year of electric bills. That tells us whether solar makes sense for your home before anyone climbs a ladder.
- 2
Site visit and written quote
We check roof direction, shade from trees, the roof surface and your main electrical panel. Then you get a price sheet with every part of the job listed.
- 3
Permits and install day
We pull the permit and handle the utility application. Most residential installs take one to three days on site, depending on system size, with the power off only briefly while we tie in.
- 4
Inspection and turn-on
The city inspects the work, the utility approves the connection, and then we switch the system on. Before we pack up, we walk you through the monitoring app so you know what normal production looks like on your phone.
Common Questions From Homeowners
- Does solar make sense for my house?
- That comes down to your roof, the shade it gets and your power use. We review twelve months of bills and look at the roof before we answer. When the math doesn't add up, we say so rather than sell you panels.
- Can the price go up once I've signed?
- Only if you agree. Your estimate lists every piece of the job. If something unexpected turns up, we pause, show it to you, and move ahead only after you approve the change.
- Is the work under warranty?
- Yes. We back our solar jobs with a 10-year workmanship warranty. The panels, inverters and batteries carry separate manufacturer warranties, which we explain and include in your paperwork.
- Could panels harm my roof?
- Each mount is bolted into a rafter and sealed with flashing designed for the job. We inspect the roof surface before quoting. If your shingles look close to the end of their life, we tell you first so you can replace the roof before the panels go on. Removing and reinstalling panels later costs extra.
- How do panels do in hail?
- Most panels are tested for ordinary hail, though big stones can still break the glass. After a damaging storm, we inspect the system, photograph it and walk you through what we see. We can document the damage for your claim, but coverage is up to your adjuster.
- Is a battery necessary?
- Not for every home. A battery makes sense if you want lights and the fridge on during outages, or if your plan pays little for the power you send back. It's priced as a separate line, so you can compare the job both ways.
- How long until my system is running after the first visit?
- Installation typically takes one to three days. Permits, inspection and utility approval add several weeks, varying by city and utility. We give you a realistic timeline up front.
What Moves the Price
Every home is different, so we don't give a number over the phone before seeing the place. What we can do is tell you what pushes the cost up or down. These are the same lines you will see broken out on your estimate.
Your estimate comes after we look at your roof, your panel and your usage. It is written line by line, and the price on it holds unless you approve a change.
- System size
- More panels means more equipment and more labor. Size depends on how much power your home uses across the year, not just in July.
- Roof layout and access
- A simple south- or west-facing roof is quicker to work on. Steep pitches, two-story homes and roofs split into many small planes take more time and more mounting hardware.
- Your electrical panel
- Older or full main panels sometimes need an upgrade to handle solar safely. We check this on the first visit and note the answer on your estimate.
- Equipment choice
- String inverters, microinverters and different panel brands all cost different amounts. We explain the tradeoffs in plain terms so you can choose.
- Battery storage
- Adding a battery is a separate line on your quote. The price depends on how much backup you want and which circuits you want kept running.
- Permits and utility approval
- The city permit, inspection and the interconnection paperwork with your utility all carry fees and time. We list them so they are not a surprise.
