Our Turnkey Process

THE COST OF GOING SOLAR ISN’T CHUMP CHANGE.

Each Account Manager (AM) is hired and trained with the understanding that they will be entering into a long term relationship with you, that we do not have an “on to the next one” sales culture at Longhorn Solar.

Your AM will guide you through every step of the process. From the initial fact-finding phone call to being present during installation…to proactively monitoring your system’s performance annually, they’ll be there to help for as long as you own your solar-powered home.

NO PRESSURE SALES

AMs are trained to serve as consultants, with a goal of educating you to the point where you can make a very informed buying decision.

The reason they are called Account Managers, and not something else like “Energy Consultants,” is because they provide such a high level of service after the sale.

From the 45-Day Check-In to make sure you understand your new bill with solar, to our Proactive Annual Performance Checks, your AM is going to make sure your new solar PV system is always performing at its best.

If we find an issue, we create a case for the Service Department and have a technician come run a full set of diagnostics to pinpoint the problem and fix it fast.

That’s the Longhorn Way.

ENERGY CONSULTATION

You’ve decided to go solar, but where do you start?  Your Account Manager will walk you through the process of detailing your current energy footprint, and then comparing it to your home’s solar potential.

Our solar proposals are easy to read and understand, providing exactly what you need to make an informed decision about whether or not going solar is right for you.  We insist on a no-pressure approach, and we are happy to answer as many questions as you can come up with.

SITE ASSESSMENT

Our Site Assessors are a vital part of our design and installation process.  They’re well versed in building and electrical code, utility rebate requirements and the basics of Solar PV Design.

A Site Assessment has four key parts:  electrical inspection, roof inspection, shade analysis and basic roof measurements.  Our site assessors have an intimate understanding of how to maximize your solar potential.

IN-HOUSE DESIGN

Our Design Team utilizes the latest industry tools and technology to create the most accurate, efficient and aesthetically pleasing rooftop arrays possible.

Our PV Design Tool, SolarCalc, is one-of-a-kind.  No other solar company has anything like it.

We consistently receive feedback from customers that our design department helped them visualize how the solar panels would look on their roof, and how that helped them go forward with solar.

FINANCING

Not only has the cost of solar decreased, but financing options have opened the door to virtually every homeowner.  Now just about everyone can enjoy the benefits of solar!

Longhorn Solar is proud to partner with Dividend Solar Finance to provide the most cost-effective solar financing solutions on the market.  Zero Down solar financing with insanely competitive interest rates are the reason you’re seeing so much solar going up everywhere.

PAPERWORK AND PERMITTING

Paperwork and permitting might sound overwhelming, but don’t worry, it’s all part of our turnkey process.  From your HOA approval, to the required permits and utility docs, Longhorn Solar handles 100% of the paperwork process for you.

With almost 1,700 installations all over Texas, we have the relationships and experience to get it done right the first time.  This is a huge part of our value proposition and something we take seriously.

INSTALLATION

This is where Longhorn Solar shines.  Our Director of Operations, David Wright, is also our Master Electrician.  He oversees one of the most talented and experienced solar installation teams in Texas.

Our installers are full-time employees and average over 7 years with the company.  No subcontractors here.  We’re grateful to our installers for the incredible work ethic they bring to the job everyday.

MONITORING AND LONG-TERM CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Web-based monitoring is a standard component on all our solar installations.  Monitoring enables us to quickly and accurately see if your system is operating at peak levels.

Even though we can see that everything is working great, we still check-in on you every 6 months.  We know you’re busy, and this is our way of making sure you’re happy.  If there’s a problem, we’ll fix it fast.
