Build Tracks

Three lanes most solar panels jobs fall into. Pick a lane on the walk-through; the budget follows.

01Track A

Grid-tied

Standard rooftop solar that offsets your bill — lowest cost, no battery.

02Track B

Grid-tied + battery

Solar that keeps essential circuits running through outages. The Houston favorite after Beryl.

03Track C

Whole-home backup

Larger battery banks (20–40 kWh) that power the entire home for 1–3 days off-grid.

04Track D

Off-grid / ADU solar

Standalone systems for casitas, workshops, and rural properties.

Materials & Method

All solar panels are not the same. Monocrystalline N-type cells outperform older P-type by 5–8% in real-world Houston heat, and microinverters (Enphase) or DC optimizers (SolarEdge) prevent a single shaded panel from dragging down the whole string. We mount on flashed, lag-bolted L-feet — never adhesive — and use marine-grade DC wiring rated for 25-year UV exposure. LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries handle Texas heat far better than older NMC chemistries.
