About Us

About solar in Texas

Texas is a national leader in solar energy. However, the state’s unique energy market can make it hard for many Texans to benefit. Solar United Neighbors helps you understand how you can go solar and fight for your right to earn fair credit.

More rooftop solar benefits everyone. Winter Storm Uri and Hurricane Harvey were terrible events that highlighted the value of an electric system that allows people to take control of where their energy comes from. Together, we’re making this happen.

Texas homeowners are being shortchanged. Here's how we fix it.

Fair compensation for solar

When you invest thousands in solar panels for your Texas home, the electricity you generate is your property. But right now, many solar owners are forced to part with their excess energy at pennies on the dollar – or even for free.

Understanding Texas' solar buyback system

Fair solar compensation

Texas doesn’t require utilities to offer net metering, but solar owners still have options to get value from their excess generation. Understanding how buyback plans work and the differences between municipal utilities, co-ops, and retail electricity providers can help you navigate Texas’ unique energy market.
