EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Google JoAnn TrialTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with Gage Mueller for years, both during solar panel installation and later, a battery for energy storage. He is remarkable for his technical and scientific knowledge. Further, he is the most kind and charitable, as well as HONEST, person I have met. I have to throw a lot of gratitude his way for all the times he's gotten me and my panels out of trouble. I hope his new company Solstice appreciates him!Posted on Google John RotramelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the company you want to use to install your solar system! During my search for a solar installer I learned a lot about industry practices including many unethical practices employed by some installers. This company has been ethical and honest throughout the entire process. Even though I had several issues getting everything figured out with Centerpoint, Alfred, Colby and Ashley were very patient and communicative. Alfred was extremely nice and helpful in making sure that I got exactly the solar system I wanted. The install looks amazing! I got two Tesla Powerwall 3s with the Tesla Gateway and 10.4kW of rooftop panels. This will power my entire home independent of the grid if needed just in time for hurricane season! I haven't even needed any grid power since the system was installed which gives me so much peace of mind especially with all the issues the state has had with the power grid.Posted on Google Amit PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gage Mueller was outstanding to work with from start to finish. He was thoughtful, supportive, and incredibly patient throughout the entire process. He took the time to thoroughly educate me on solar, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. Gage also truly understood our needs and worked diligently to present multiple options that fit both our goals and budget. I really appreciated his professionalism and genuine approach—highly recommend working with him if you’re considering solar!Posted on Google Cookiez_ forlifeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gage is incredibly professional and responsive. He walked me through switching to solar panels for my house and gave honest guidance when I was choosing an electricity plan. He never complains, even when I call at odd hours. Recently he spent over an hour explaining how solar batteries and inverters work as I’m looking to add storage. If you want someone who actually educates you instead of just selling, go with Gage. 5 stars.Posted on Google Michael RichardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Solstice for help with evaluating my solar system and batteries. Gage was extremely helpful and not only quoted an additional battery but suggested some other ways to save money on electricity. This included several emails. I'd say he went above and beyond.Posted on Google J LimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I called Solstice Solar, I spoke to Alfred who was immensely helpful, resourceful, and relatable. He did not try to sell me but tried to find out what it was that I needed for my home. I appreciated the professionalism and kindness toward my lack of technology knowledge. I called 3 other solar panel companies for quotes on the Tesla batteries, and while they were all about the same price, I opted to go with Alfred's team because I needed to be coddled and they did this for me. He walked me through options on how to pay for it. Once that was completed, he introduced me to Ashley who was the project manager. Ashley was extremely kind and helpful. Whatever I had questions with, she was able to answer in a timely manner. I am so happy with our battery installment so far. I have a good feeling that even when we have completed this project, if there were any issues later, they will be just as helpful. I highly recommend them for solar panels and battery back-up. I'm sorry we did not use them for the solar panels, but we are very happy with our Tesla battery back up installation.Posted on Google Collin GrovesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great team here that installed my SPAN electric panel. The cost was reasonable, the install was smooth, and the communication from the on-site electricians was top-tier in my experience. I would highly recommend this team. And I'm not even getting a discount for writing this!Posted on Google Josephine PanaresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Powerwall and EV charger installation and A+ customer service from Ashley!Posted on Google Steven BoltingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Solstice Solar treats me and my home situations as valuable right away. I trust them.Posted on Google Syed KareemTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Knowledgeable, no BS. Go with them you won’t go wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much solar energy can I generate in Texas?
Texas, with its abundant sunshine, is one of the best states for solar power. Depending on your location, a 5 kW solar system can generate between 6,000 to 8,000 kWh of energy annually. Areas in West Texas and the Hill Country typically receive the most sunlight, while coastal areas like Galveston may see slightly lower production due to cloud cover and humidity.
Are there specific incentives for Texas homeowners to go solar?
Yes! Texas homeowners can take advantage of several incentives, including the 30% federal solar tax credit, which reduces the upfront cost of solar installation. Additionally, some local utilities offer rebates or performance-based incentives for solar systems, particularly in areas like Austin and San Antonio. Texas also has no state income tax, which can provide added savings in the long run.
How do Texas weather conditions affect solar panels and battery systems?
Texas is known for its extreme weather conditions, from intense heat in the summer to occasional winter storms. However, modern solar panels and battery backup systems are designed to handle these conditions. Solar panels are built to withstand high temperatures, and battery systems are increasingly being equipped with temperature regulation to prevent freezing in the winter. Solar installations in areas like Houston or Dallas may face periodic issues with storms, but with proper installation, systems are designed to be durable and reliable.
Can solar power help during power outages in Texas?
Yes, solar systems paired with battery backup are an excellent solution for power outages, especially in areas prone to storms, like Galveston or the Houston area. These systems store excess solar energy during the day, providing backup power when the grid goes down. In Texas, where power outages can be frequent due to storms or extreme weather, having a solar-powered battery backup ensures that your home remains powered even when the grid fails.
What is the best time of year to install solar in Texas?
While Texas enjoys sunny weather year-round, the best time for solar installation is typically in the fall or spring. During these seasons, temperatures are milder, which can make the installation process easier and quicker. However, solar installations can be done any time of the year, and in some cases, you may see faster return on investment in the summer months when energy demand is higher, especially in cities like Dallas or Austin.
Do I need to worry about solar panel performance during the Texas summer heat?
Solar panels can generate electricity more efficiently when exposed to sunlight, but excessive heat can slightly decrease their efficiency. Texas, especially in areas like Midland and Abilene, experiences high temperatures in the summer, but most modern solar panels are built to perform well under such conditions. Installing your panels at the proper tilt and orientation can help minimize the effects of heat on performance.
