INSTALL SOLAR PANELS DURING YOUR BUILD

Texas is a sunny, hot state that is quickly rising in the ranks to become #1 in solar. Homeowners are now actively seeking out new homes with solar panels and paying more for energy-independent homes. While installing solar panels for homes at the building phase is a relatively new practice, it has many benefits for the builder and future homeowners. 

Work with Longhorn Solar for your new construction projects and rest easy knowing we use the best products in the industry and have been installing high output PV systems since 2009.

OUR NEW BUILD PROCESS

Consultation

Meet with our builder representative to discuss the project and design the most effective solar system based on your building plans.

Prewiring & Setup

While the walls are still open, we prewire the system, set up the breaker and install the conduit.

Installation

Once the roof is constructed, our team installs the racks and panels according to the approved design. The inverter is also installed at this stage.

BENEFITS OF SOLAR PANELS FOR NEW BUILDS 

Streamlined Process

Installing PV systems at this stage is even easier than putting them on a completed house. The system design not only integrates beautifully with the home design, but it also can save you money by planning for solar from the beginning.

Increased Home Value

A home with a new, high-performing solar system is an attractive upgrade for buyers in today’s market. Potential buyers will love the benefit of reduced (or negative) energy bills and will be willing to pay more for a home that offers sustainable, reliable energy.

Perfect Timing

Solar panel systems used to cost more than they were worth but solar technology has now reached a point where long-lasting systems supply energy outputs that make solar energy a net positive for residential and commercial buyers. Plus, there are incentive programs and tax credits that offset the cost of solar panels.
