Overview of Longhorn Solar, Inc.
Longhorn Solar Mission: To make solar accessible to anyone who desires it by providing the best products at the best prices and installation by the most qualified TEAM that exists. We achieve this mission by: 1. Doing extensive research on the products that we provide to give you the peace of mind that you are only seeing products with a Tier 1 rating and have been vetted for bank-ability. Bank-ability is important because a warranty from a company that is out of business is worth nothing. 2. Using our buying power to get the best price for the best production. There are some panels out there that claim to be a better product because of higher efficiency. Higher efficiency does not equal better. It equals more expensive. In the end, higher efficiency means they produce more electricity in a smaller space for a higher price. To make solar more accessible we have chosen slightly lower efficiency for a lower price. 3. Employing the highest trained staff in Texas. Longhorn Solar invests in training at every level. Currently, we employ several team members who hold NABCEP Solar certification in Texas. We are also one of the only companies to provide a 12 week training class for all of our new Account Managers. When you speak to a Longhorn Solar Account Manager, then you can rest assured that we know what we are talking about. We would be honored with the opportunity to provide you with a Solar System quote and then installation.

Met All Expectations
Longhorn Solar just completed the installing my 8.5Kw Photovoltaic (PV) array (solar array)earlier this week and I couldn't be happier. My house is a 2-story house with a steep roof, but this didn't seem to slow the teams down at all. The salesman, Rex, was very informative, patient and got all the answers I had prior to installing my PV array. The office manager, Kelli, was very helpful at getting all the paperwork filled out that I needed to get my loan and was always helpful when I had any questions. Aaron and his install team arrived early, but not too early, worked all day until they couldn't work anymore. I was very pleased with their work ethics and they were always happy to answer any questions I had during the install. They painted all the conduit to blend with the color scheme of the house (3 different paints required). Aaron gave me some very in-depth training on the system operation. Adam, the IT guy, came the next day to setup the monitoring system. He fixed any errors I found on the spot and didn't leave until I was completely happy. Last, but not least, David, the General Manager, attended my closing and was very helpful in answering other questions we had. Lastly, they were more than happy to install an extra sub-panel I needed to hookup my hot tub. I would definitely recommend Longhorn Solar to anyone wanting to install a solar panel system. I just love to go outside and watch my digital electric meter numbers go backwards :)

Awesome work!
Louis and his team came out and installed a 5.5mW system on the roof of my 2-story house. Louis and his crew were very flexible in working with me on where I wanted the inverter installed, did a very professional job of painting and blending the conduit on the outside of the house, worked well with my HOA, and did a high-quality job overall. I plan to install more of the systems on my rental houses and I'll definitely use Longhorn Solar again to do the work.

Solar Installation
Just to let everyone know that Tom and his Crew were just wonderful installing our 15kw system. It was done in a very short time and very efficiently.. The system is running beautifully. Thank you Adam for answering all my calls. Thank you Rex for explaining the System to us in layman's terms - your knowledge and professionalism are much appreciated. We recommend Longhorn Solar to anyone thinking of installing solar power at their home.

Longhorn Solar was a good company to deal with. I had a few issues but they were quickly resolved. I would recommend the Ben-Q product as an excellent product. Longhorn is competitive in their pricing and will do what it takes to get your new solar panel system up and running. Great install.

Happy, Happy, Happy with Longhorn Solar
Every step of the process was professional and honest. They assisted me in getting a good part of my system paid for by municipality incentives. They provided me with the form to get my tax incentive. After I had my system for many months and a part stopped working, they came out immediately and replaced it; and they didn't charge me for the part or labor. One of my favorite things, is that they gave me a customized book as part of the quote. The book showed me the system they recommended, what it would look like and how much energy it would generate. It shows you year-by-year, how much money you will save, and when the system will pay for itself. Mine said that after 7.5 years, it would have paid for itself, and after that it is pure savings. I have had the system for over 2 years and my savings are right on track for what they projected. I am extremely pleased with Longhorn Solar and would recommend them to anyone. I recommended them to a neighbor who also got a system and she is just as happy as I am.

My highest power bill was $54
Why get solar? Why use Longhorn Solar? Longhorn presented me with a solar plan that was customized for my power useage ranging over an entire year, including all the seasons. Free, fully documented and illustrated presentation. All free and no obligation to buy. It was educational, interesting and fascinating. Every one of my questions were not just answered, but explained in detail. I don't know what other companies do because with Longhorn I was so well engaged and the information was so easily understood there was no need. All the benefits, rebates and tax credits are the same with any company. But will you walk away with an understanding of the process and benefits that Longhorn gives you? Every call and every email was answered. Heads up about this or that were common occurances. How can I tell you how good they are? I don't think I can. You have to see it for yourself. Use them.

Interviewed and received bids from 3 solar companies and found Longhorn Solar was able to address and answer any questions. They were the only company able to actually come and measure roof to calculate the number of panels they could install on the roof before giving an estimate.I especially was inmpressed with their projection estimates on when the return on investment would occur as well as future cost to expect in year 15 for an inverter possibility. Not all companies interviewed informed me of all cost involved.

Longhorn Solar: The only choice!
My neighbor and I did extensive research on the Solar industry, interviewing 5 different companies before selecting Longhorn. We both selected Longhorn as they are far above the competition with regards to the quality of product used, competency of the staff, experience in the industry, honesty and price. I received a 10kw system with a complete electrical rebuild for several thousand dollars below the closest competitor’s price for a 9kw system without the electrical upgrade. Being on the ACC committee for my neighborhood, I have seen the bids for other companies; Longhorn’s proposals far exceed their competition. The Sales Staff, installation crew, and management are fantastic. I would highly recommend Longhorn Solar.
Response from Longhorn Solar, Inc.
The system has been installed since August 2014 and is producing at least 10-15% more than projected. My only regret is that I did not get a 11kw system.

Longhorn Solar: Outstanding Company and Excellent Service
I was looking for a solar system for my home and contacted various companies. All the companies were helpful but Longhorn Solar went over and beyond in their service and sales. Shane Wampler, the account manager, contacted me and gave me an idea of what to expect before we started the process. One of the installers came home, inspected my property and roof. Next, Shane called me and gave me a date of when he would have the quotes (around 2 days) and he met those dates without any delays. He came to my home and answered all my questions in person and those that he could not, he took the trouble of contacting his folks to get me that information. He patiently answered all our questions. We finally decided on a 5kW system with AU Optronics (BenQ) 250W poly panels (20) and 1 SMA Sunny Boy inverter (SB5000TL-US-22). Within a few days, I got a call from Adam (the installation manager), confirming the time and date of the installation. The installers came early and it took them a couple of days to get done (the first was to install the wiring and inverter) and the second was to complete the solar panels. The installation was extremely professional and the folks were very helpful and answered any questions that we had about the panels and inverter. When everything was installed, Blake come over and set up the eGauge system. He explained everything succinctly and ensured everything was working. After the installation, I got a call from Shane ensuring everything went well. The system was went live on Aug 14, 2014. We have been extremely happy with it. Recently, when I changed my ISP, I lost my egauge online connection. One call to Shane and it was taken care of. As I said, outstanding company and excellent sales and service. I recommend Longhorn Solar wholeheartedly. I will posting similar glowing reviews on other sites.

I especially liked the professional proposals that were created just for us. Our salesman took plenty of time to explain the system and the time frame with us. We were so happy with our residential installation that we hired Longhorn Solar to install a system at our office!

Outstanding Experience with Longhorn Solar
My wife and I met with Preston Wilson for the initial site review and he gave us very level-headed advice on the pros and cons on the different panels and orientations of what solar option to choose based on our home. After contemplating about it with my wife we decided on having Longhorn Solar install the newest, most-efficient panels, made here in the US. We couldn’t be happier about our decision and we are very proud of it. From the initial consultation, through the proposal, installation, permits, inspection and process with the City of Austin, it was a great experience. Preston and the entire staff at Longhorn Solar were professional, helpful, informative, and everything you would expect. The installation crew was a pleasure to deal with and actually finished the work in one day. The size of the array - 20 panels – fit perfect in our roof. Although, we just got the solar panels installed and have not yet experienced the savings we are looking forward to our much lower electrical bills. Longhorn Solar, Preston and the rest of the staff get our highest recommendation. Go solar, and go with Longhorn solar!

Great product, great service
We had our solar panels installed this past spring and we are so glad we decided to do this for our home! We are already seeing substantial savings on our electric bill. Preston Wilson was great to work with, he explained everything in detail so we could understand exactly what we were getting and what we could expect. The installation went very smooth....Longhorn Solar had a great price. All the folks we dealt with showed great customer service. If you are even remotely thinking of solar panels, call and talk to Preston ...you won't be sorry!

ABOVE AND BEYOND HAPPY
Longhorn Solar did a super job in installing my system. Their system price was far cheaper than the other three companies that made a proposal. My system exceeds the watt output rate I was given and I am truly satisfied beyond words. One last think I would like to add is that Dylan Eckersley was also one of my factors in choosing Longhorn Solar. His honest upfront communications made it a pleasure to work with, his immediate in home visits I requested were never put off or delayed, and the guy is just awesome to deal with. If your looking for a system, Longhorn and Dylan are the way to go!

Recently had these guys square me away with a great solar package. I loved the fact that they took the time to educate me on how the system would be a benefit to me. Additionally the service after the sale and responsiveness to my questions and support for the system was great.

My neighbor had Longhorn install his panels and provided me with Dylan's number. Dylan came to house and provided me all the details, professional and detailed for me to make an informed decision. Ten days after getting HOA approval the system was installed and saving me money. After installation Dylan came by the house again to go thru the panel operations and how to ensure the system is running optimally.
