Texas Solar Outfitters

Fantastic Experience

They installed some solar panels at my home and we're already seeing a difference in our bill. Great service experience, would recommend to anyone.

Residential Installation

Texas Solar Outfitters installed our solar panels on our house last March. 26 Panels. We were very satisfied with the entire process. They gave us a recommendation of the size and arrangement of the array. The guys did a great job, did the work on schedule. The panels have been producing just as planned. Cal Morton and his team did an excellent job & I would highly recommend their organization.

BEST IN THE BUSINESS

This company treated me as though I knew everything there was to know about solar energy. In fact, I knew nothing. Management and installers where very helpful and respected my property as if it was their own. Work was done in a timely manner, all of the inspections/permits & codes were taken care of by Texas Solar Installers. Even though our home was located across town, they responded as if they were next door. Quality workmanship was a requirement and the personnel maintained the quality workmanship and provided only quality materials and components. I would hire this company without hesitation for the next solar project. The staff was quick to inform me of the correct decisions regarding "too much" electrical generation vs efficiency, as well as assisted me in selecting the best service provider to assist in the buying of any access kw the system generated.

Satisfied Customer

Great service and pleased with install.

A+ for Texas Solar Outfitters

Texas Solar Outfitters (TSO) is a technically sophisticated, mechanically capable company of the highest business integrity. We are particularly pleased with the system they helped us design and build. They are certainly one of the best companies that we worked with when building our new home. We dealt with several other solar companies and unfortunately their numbers were soft, at best, their designs and customer support were disappointing. TSO helped us understand solar economic incentives, and they worked with us and Kyocera, to design a 26 panel system with inverters in the panels. After the installation was complete, they continued to support our system utilization. They have also helped us monitor in real-time and optimize our panels’ performance. We couldn’t be happier with the installation or its performance. We have recommended TSO to several of our friends and they are as happy with them as we are.

Very good experience

Our overall experience was wonderful. They handled everything from initial visit, proposal, engineering, permitting, installation and startup. Cal Morton was a joy to work with: very responsive, knew the technology (I checked), and helped correct the few minor issues that cropped up. The entire process was really very painless! Cal spent quality time with me during the final startup. His explanations were very good. The system is completely automatic and a joy to monitor the iPhone app and/or website. During the first month of operation our electric bill was 25-30% lower! It's so nice to see such a cost effective way to reduce cost and help with the environment. My wife and are very pleased. Great work Texas Solar Outfitters!

Rural Installation

Our situation was a special challenge for any solar installer. We wanted the panels installed on a workshop located 145 feet from our home. In addition, we were one of the first members of our electrical co-op to "go solar" which brought with it special challenges. TSO provided exactly what was promised. Their installers and electricians were professional and stayed on schedule. In addition, TSO stayed involved from start to finish, including working with our co-op to provide all of the documentation that they required. We are very pleased with TSO and the service they provided.

Great job - no hassles everything works as promised

2303 Bauer, Houston

The process was relatively painless. Communication was professional and respectful. Very 21st century company. The answers to our questions were realistic. TSO handled the permits and design. The planning was thorough, the documentation is easy to follow. The installation crews (electrical and panel) were very professional and informative. The installation went smoothly and was completed in a day. The system passed inspection the first time.

Howes residence

Nothing short of a positive experience from a professional solar installer. The first contact with Walker Fair was what I would expect from an experienced company in the business. As I moved through each step in the process they stayed in contact and provided a reasonable time frame to complete our 5.2 KW system. I had taken many solar courses through SEI and new the professional credentials of Texas Solar Outfitters put them above and beyond the competition. We look forward to adding another 5KW solar pergola in the coming years. Thanks for your help!

Stanley and charlotte Harris installation

Outstanding responsiveness and customer service and support. Painless process

solar install

Working with solar outfitters has been a dream. This was the very easiest part of building the house. The sales rep was on top of everything and the techs were courteous and extremely well trained. I had total confidence in them from start to finish.

Home PV install review

Texas Solar Outfitters did a great job installing our 32-panel home PV system. I'd use them again and recommend their work.

Grid tied system - rooftop - 26 panels

They installed a 26 panel solar system on my roof - took them just a few days. The system was just as advertised and is working perfectly. The system was explained clearly and they answered all my questions. The more I have learned about solar systems the happier I am with mine. I got quality panels and inverters (REC and Enphase), the roof looks great and the inspection and connection agreement went smoothly. Couldn't have been a better install.

5 Kw DC system

Texas Solar Outfitters did and excellent job of installing our system. I am a contractor, and I was impressed by their work: they were courteous,clean, neat and timely. Our crew paid close attention to details to make the installation really clean. They handled all permitting and inspections. The hand-over was smooth.

7Kw solar system

7 Kw solar system installed. The whole process was really smooth and only had people working at my property for 2 days.

Update from my installation

I chose the LG panels and the Enphase inverters because I wanted to be able to monitor the output of each panel. TSO did a fine job of the installation. We had a weather delay at one point but other than that they showed up when they said they would and did a very professional job. I was adamant about not running exposed wiring and they managed to accommodate me with some extra effort. One thing I highly recommend is running a full network cable to your home router. Those power line network adapters are pretty close to useless. Once I ran the network cable all the communication problems went away. If you can't run your own cable have TSO put it in their bid for your installation. So far (only 7 months) the system is performing pretty close to the per month averages that TSO supplied during the sales process. April beat the average and March was lower. That is why they are called averages. Getting and electric bill for $19 in April was fun. I have learned one thing that prospective buyers need to be very aware of - shadows on even a small part of a panel just clobber the output. My neighbor two houses away has a magnificent, giant pine tree. In February when the sun is setting one of the limbs from his tree shade about half of one of my panels and the output of the panel drops like a rock. It is a shame that I am going to have to cut that tree down one night :) Partly cloudy days are a much bigger problem than I anticipated. All in all I would do the deal again and would use TSO as the vendor.

half a megawatt-hour later...

Had a trouble-free, professional installation. System is running well. I specified American-made panels, and was accommodated with no problems.

27.5 kW install

Texas Solar Outfitters where fantastic! They are professional, well organized, prompt, and very thorough. It was a great experience and Walker Fair really stays on top of the project and makes sure everything goes smoothly. We are very pleased with the product and the install.

My Home Installation

Texas Solar Panels provided efficient, reliable installation service. They performed thorough evaluation of my roof design, and quickly designed a system. Installation was performed with minimal hassle. Cal Morton is my primary contact and he is a pleasure to work with.

Houston Residential Install

The whole process was extremely pleasant from start to finish (except perhaps for writing the checks). They work to earn your business and that is so great! I did plenty of research before investing in solar. The salesperson I spoke with was very knowledgeable and helpful. He went out of his way to answer my questions and provide me with information. Calls were return promptly and everyone involved in the process could not have been more courteous. (I even got good advice on growing my tomato plants from one of the installers.) I was involved in planning where the conduit and electrical boxes would go and it looks good. The inspectors and everyone involved showed up when they said they would. When completed I was given a very well organized book with a lot of good information on my system. My system has only been running only a few days and I am still learning about it. I have not gone online yet to see all there is to see. All said and done Texas Solar Outfitters exceeded expectations.

Working Sunshine in Spring, TX

All staff we encountered were great. There are actually live people answering the phone! If you do have to leave a voicemail (rare) you are usually called back within an hour or two. Walker was so patient and really too as much time as we needed and answered our hundreds of questions as we made our decision between a ground or roof mount. He also made great informed recommendations which met our needs and our budget. There were no surprises and the price was as expected. The installers showed up and worked. We had our system installed in much less time than we thought it would take. The after care has been great as well. They still answer the phone and questions even after they have your money. The entire process has been great. We will definitely use this company again when we expand the system.

Travis High school

TSO worked with us at the high school to implement a great installation. Attempting to install this amongst all of the bureaucracy that comes with a public institution provided quite a challenge, but TSO (and especially Cal Morton) were incredibly professional and patient in navigating through all of these hurdles.

Own Your Energy with Texas Solar Outfitters - Pearland

A very pleasant experience from start to end. Texas Solar Outfitters was exceptional at procuring the required permits and inspections (City of Pearland, TX Windstorm, HOA, T&D). We opted for the US made PV panels from a US company and Cal was very accommodating in changing the project to meet our desires. The installation crew was large enough to get the job done quickly.

Installers Revies

The installers were very professional and courteous.
