Depending on the battery capacity and energy usage, solar batteries can power essential appliances for several hours to a full day.

Is solar battery storage worth it in Texas?

Yes, with frequent weather events and grid instability, solar battery storage in Texas adds resilience and energy cost savings.

Who TPO Solar Is Best For

TPO — or Third Party Owned — solar means a company like Solstice installs, owns, and maintains the system on your home. You pay a lower energy rate and receive the savings, without ever owning the equipment outright. It works best for homeowners who want the benefits of solar power without buying a system upfront — no large payment, no maintenance worries, and steady, affordable energy from day one.

Texas State Benefit

Property Tax Exemption

Under Texas Tax Code Section 11.27, the added home value from a solar energy system is fully exempt from property taxes statewide. This means that even as your home's value increases from the solar installation, your property tax bill is not affected.

To apply for this exemption, homeowners must file the appropriate form with their local appraisal district. The exemption applies to solar and wind-powered energy devices installed on a property you own. Your Solstice advisor can walk you through the process — or you can download the official form below to get started.
