Reliable Quality Dependable Service
Solar Panel Installation in The Colony, TX
Solar panels are meant to stay on a roof for decades, so the roof underneath them matters as much as the panels themselves. As a roofing company that installs solar, Different Roofing looks at your home from the roof up. We make sure the roof is in good shape before panels go on, and we seal every mounting point so the system does not become a source of leaks later.
Why a Roofer Should Install Your Solar
- Roof condition comes first. If your shingles are near the end of their life or were damaged by hail, it usually makes sense to replace the roof before installing solar. Removing and reinstalling panels later to replace a roof adds cost you can avoid.
- Every penetration is flashed and sealed. Mounts are attached to the roof structure and flashed the way a roofer would flash any opening in the roof.
- One team, one roof. Roofing and solar are handled by the same crew, so there is no finger-pointing if a question comes up later.
Solar in North Texas: What to Know
Most homes around The Colony get electricity delivered by Oncor or CoServ, while you choose a retail electric provider in Texas's deregulated market. Texas does not have statewide net metering. Instead, some retail providers offer solar buyback plans that credit you for extra power your system sends back to the grid, and the terms vary from plan to plan. It is worth comparing plans before and after your system is installed.
Texas law also helps solar owners in a few ways. Under Texas Tax Code Section 11.27, the added value of a residential solar system is exempt from property taxes. Texas Property Code Section 202.010 limits the ability of most HOAs to ban solar panels, although many associations can still review where panels are placed. We help you prepare the information your HOA asks for.
One change to be aware of: the federal residential clean energy tax credit for homeowner-owned systems ended at the end of 2025. We will not promise savings based on incentives that no longer apply. We will help you look at your actual electricity use and roof layout so you can decide if solar makes sense for you.
