Frequently Asked Questions
Does solar still make sense without the federal tax credit?
The 30% federal residential tax credit expired for homeowner-owned systems installed after December 31, 2025. Solar can still be a smart long-term investment thanks to reduced monthly energy bills and available financing options, but the payback timeline is longer than it was in prior years. Our team, in partnership with Permian Solar, will walk you through real numbers for your home so you know exactly what to expect — and we always recommend confirming your specific situation with a tax professional.
What's the difference between buying, financing, and leasing solar panels?
When you buy or finance a solar system, you own it outright and keep all the energy savings, but no federal tax credit currently applies. With a lease or power purchase agreement (PPA), a third-party company owns the panels and may qualify for a separate commercial tax credit, often passing some of that value along as a lower monthly rate. We can help you compare these options to find what fits your budget and goals.
Do I need a new roof before installing solar panels?
Not always, but it's worth checking. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, we recommend replacing it before installing panels, since removing and reinstalling a solar system later adds unnecessary cost. As a roofing company first, we're able to evaluate your roof's condition and handle both projects together if needed.
Can solar panels withstand Permian Basin weather?
Yes. Quality solar panels are built to handle high winds, intense sun, and hail. Metal roofs pair especially well with solar, since panels can be mounted using clips rather than roof penetrations, reducing the risk of leaks over time.
