The Best Solar Company in Texas

Solar Centex, had to come in and make repairs on my panels that had been installed by a company that did the worst work ever. I wish I had found Solar CenTex before we installed our panels. They spent 3 days correcting the work and we are excited to see what we will be producing on our panels. They are professional and very helpful in explaining how the panels work. If you are going solar please go with this company, you will not be let down.

The Best Investment for a Poor mans Pocket

Solar was a long time coming to Killeen Texas so I started to do investigations with well known companies and received estimates that was unaffordable and some down right ridiculous with little or no explanation of what I would save in the future or what size unit I need for my current electric usage. I was about to give up on the solar idea but discovered Solar CenTex of Harker Height Texas. Mr. Arey evaluated my last year usage of electric, developed a written 5 page proposal of What type of solar panel system I needed, approximate cost of what I would pay for electricity with a panel system and when the solar system would pay for It self. Every thing he stated has come true! My electrical cost before solar panels averaged $245 per month NOW it range from a monthly credit of -$8.00 to +$45.00 per month. Now I'm complaining about my water bill, which averages $68.00 per month,which is higher that my Electric bill. Thanks Scott for putting money in a Retired Military man pocket with such a sound investment. I tell people all the time, "If your don't have the money, Borrow it from the bank." Electric is only going up, So my Advice for you is, If Scott says you need an 8 K unit, buy a 10K unit.. Its money in your pocket.

Best Solar System Installer

I highly recommend Solar CenTex. All of Solar CenTex personnel were very professional. They don’t have high pressure salesmen trying to sell you an over engineered or priced solar systems for your home. I contacted them before I closed on my new home about purchasing a system for it. They advised me to wait for a couple of months so we can review my family power usage before installing any equipment. my sales consultant, was outstanding. He helped me completed all the required documents and coordination for ONCOR and TXU, including making arrangements for the required inspection by the city of Harker Heights. Did great follow-ups calls as well. The installation of the system took less than two days. Most of the installers were prior service members. They answered all my questions about the system and cleaned up after themselves each day.

Scot with Solar CenTex was great to work with, all the way from the design to the build of our solar pavilion. His team was efficient, accommodating, and helpful. We were grateful to work with Solar CenTex's team of solar experts for our project.

One word really describes Solar Centex - professional. I went back and counted 23 different e-mails concerning purchasing and installing the system. There were countless texts (I switched phones, so I could not get an exact count) as well and {Name Deleted} always replied within 24 hours (most of the time it was within 1 - 2 hours). They also have a great website where the owner actually publishes the amount of electricity his personal system is producing on a live stream. Their facebook page has a lot of information as well, and they are not afraid to post articles discussing some of the horror stories about installing solar systems. My wife and I were concerned, however, about installing panels when we might be moving within five to ten years. {Name Deleted} was very understanding and worked with us to find a system that worked for our concerns. I really do not think we would have gone ahead with the system if it had not been for all of the communications, support, and articles sent by {Name Deleted} to make sure we were considering all of the aspects about installing a system. I haven't addressed the installation aspect of the process. The installers showed up at EXACTLY 8:00 a.m. They knocked on the door twice, never asked to use the bathroom, cleaned up everything after the installation, and fully explained how to monitor the system. They allowed my wife to video tape the explanation as I was at work and they were fine with that. She tried to tip the lead installer, but he would not take anything. His reply was, "No ma'am. I'm just doing my job." Solar Centex has a lot of great reviews. I guess the only thing I hope to achieve by writing mine is that my wife and I were very anxious about whether or not to install a system because of the possibility of moving. Because of the professionalism of this company (sales and installation), we know we made the right decision. Even if you are just thinking about solar, I would give them a call. {Name Deleted} is a wealth of information and will answer all of your questions promptly and honestly. I highly recommend them!

You Are My Sunshine

We are very pleased and excited to be Solar Centex customers. The process was very easy and surprisingly affordable. We like the app that allows us to see how the panels are working. {Name Deleted} was great at his sales presentation, and the installation crew was very professional and quick. We were especially pleased that the business is local, and the owner came by and checked on the installation. The good news is spreading! A neighbor down the block has recently had his panels installed as well.

Thank you, Yvonne! The team here knows you're going to love your new system. Thanks for your trust and confidence.

If I could do it all over again, I would!!

We had been interested in Solar for a while and stopped by a local company to get some information. They sent a representative out and our experience at that meting nearly turned us away from Solar completely. We then looked at some other companies and were so fortunate to have found Solar Centex. We submitted an online interest form and followed up with a phone call. The call was answered by Mr. Arey who then put me in contact with Mr. Seok. From that initial phone call I can say with 100% conviction that every interaction with Solar Centex has been a positive one. Not only did we get an incredibly thorough estimate from start to finish, we were advised all along the way for the VLB funding and timelines for all aspects. The employees that came out to start marking the location of the project were a lot of fun to talk with as were all of the ones sent out for the construction phase as well. The work that they did is fantastic! So much so that we have had neighbors come over to ask about the product and processes with the intent of getting Solar themselves. I really could go on and on and on about how pleased we are with the product and the service provided by Solar Centex. The only regret that I truly have is that we did not do this sooner.

I should have gone with Solar Cen Tex earlier

After getting a detailed estimate from two other installers, I was still left with lots of questions and lots of concerns. Scot did the initial site survey and {Name Deleted}later followed up with a very detailed and specific survey with scalable options and answered all of my questions. {Name Deleted} even came out a second time and gave the entire detailed estimate to my wife because she was un-available for the first review. My mistake was waiting, I weighed the pro's vs con's for a few months. Once I decided well all that I can say looking back is why did I wait? The installation was excellent, the panels look great, the interface is seamless and most important to me is they were not pushy and the customer support is excellent.

Solar Is Awesome!

Several months ago I saw in our local newspaper that Solar Centex had joined our local chamber. I was somewhat curious about solar power so I contacted them. I warned them upfront that I was just curious, probably not a likely candidate to buy a solar power system. They understood and said they would be glad to come do a site survey and work up a quote on a system. They did so, showed up right on time, did the site survey, answered all my questions, and several days later sent me a quote. Our local electric provider has a rebate for solar, and when you add to that the 30% federal tax credit, I realized that solar is in fact affordable and makes sense. So I agreed to buy a system and signed the contract. Installation was scheduled for February 2, they showed up right on time again, installed the panels one day and hooked up the inverter to my electrical system the next day. And then, voila! Solar power started flowing! I have a 4Kw system, so far it has produced 3.0-3.5 Kw on sunny days, but this was in February when the sun is low in the sky, I have no doubt that it will produce 4Kw in the summer. The quality of the equipment is excellent, and the Solar Centex folks are great. Most of them are retired military folks. They are straight shooters, they tell you exactly what they are going to do, and when, and how much it will cost. And if a system is not right for you, they will tell you that too. A couple of my friends looked into it but Solar Centex was honest with them and said their house was not a good candidate for solar. Solar Centex is a great outfit, I give them my highest recommendation!

Simply AWESOME!

When we decided to build our new home, the best decision we made was to build and go solar. The second best decision we made was calling Solar Centex. The owner Scott, and {Name Deleted} were simply amazing throughout the entire process. We could not have been more satisfied with their professionalism and their ability to educate us on the entire solar energy process. I could not have been more pleased with the entire install crew as they did the actual install. They were never too bust to continue to educate. And I must admit, when they finished and turned on the system, it was simply awesome to see our utility meter start running in reverse. Bring on the savings!

Cha-Ching, I can hear my savings rolling in $$$! :-)

I am ecstatic. I finally gotten my Solar Power system. I like saving wherever I can and this system gonna do just that for me. I love my new system. I could hardly wait for them to get the installation finished. It took them only a couple of days to get everything up and running. Everyone was very professional. {Name Deleted}, my personal Representative from Solar Centex, is great. He was on point, very helpful and informative, all thru the whole process. He walk me thru everything in a timely matter. {Name Deleted} did great follow-up as well. If I didn't understand something he explained until I did. If I had any questions or worries he help me thru them quickly. {Name Deleted} helped the guys with a portion of the actual installation and he "always" dressed professionally. I worried he might mess up his good clothes, lol. Even the owner came out to my house to see how my installation was going. Wow, he was not in work clothes either and got up on the roof dress shoe and all! Very impressive on both their parts. It's really good to see all these people doing such a great job and their professionalism. They even clean up all installation trash. Wow who can ask for more! I have been telling everyone about my system and Solar Centex! Thank you {Name Deleted}, and thank you Solar Centex!

A Fantastic Company

Solar CenTex installed a system on my home about 10 months ago. They were polite, professional, and accommodating to my schedule 100% of the time. They have saved me at least $100 per month since installation. Prior to choosing Solar CenTex, I researched other companies, and these guys have by far the best service on the market both locally and within a 100 mile radius. Their customer service is the best in the business and they genuinely care about their customers. Their owner even came to my house to meet me, which is a level of personable service no other business I have dealt with can beat. Their product is top quality, and their installation is immaculate (I have seen other installations locally by other companies that have exposed wires running on top of the roof, etc). It is now 10 months since installation and I still get regular calls from the same representative that has been with me from the beginning, {Name Deleted}, just to check up on things and see if there is anything they can do to help me. Overall, I couldn’t be happier being a customer of Solar CenTex.
