Your panels make the power
Solar on your roof powers your home first during the day. You pay a set rate for the solar power your system produces.
For Texas homeowners
Solar plus a home battery. No loan. No lease.
Qualifying Texas homeowners get solar panels and a home battery, and pay a set rate for the solar power their system produces. The battery is included and covered by tax credits and grid program payments.

How it works
Three parts, one simple program.
Your system works for your home first, and helps the Texas grid when it needs it most.
Your battery stores it
Extra solar charges your home battery, so you have stored power ready for the evening and for outages.
The grid program covers the battery
Your battery joins a Texas grid program that can draw on stored power when demand peaks. Those program payments, plus tax credits, cover the battery.
One battery. Two jobs.
Keeps your essentials on. Helps keep Texas running.
When the grid goes down, your battery switches on by itself and keeps the circuits you choose running. On high-demand days, it can help support the grid.
Backup covers essential circuits, not the whole home. How long it lasts depends on your stored charge and what you run.
See if your home qualifiesJob 1: Your home
Stored power for the essentials you pick, like the fridge, lights, Wi-Fi and key outlets. No gas, no cords, no noise.
Job 2: The grid
When demand spikes, batteries across Texas can work together like one power plant. Those payments help cover yours.

What's covered, what isn't and what you'll pay, all explained before you decide.
Who qualifies
Check these five things.
- You own the home, and your name (or your spouse's) is on the title.
- It's a site-built home. Manufactured homes don't qualify.
- Your roof has at least 10 years of life left.
- Your power is delivered by CenterPoint, Oncor, AEP Texas or TNMP.
- You meet the program's credit requirements.
Not sure about your utility?
Look at your electric bill.
In most of Texas, the company that sends your bill isn't the one that delivers your power. Your bill lists the delivery or "wires" company, usually near the top or in the charges section. If it says CenterPoint, Oncor, AEP Texas or TNMP, you're in a service area.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask.
Is this a loan or a lease?
No. You don't finance or lease the equipment. You pay a set rate per kWh for the solar power your system produces.
Who pays for the battery?
The battery is included in the program. It's covered by tax credits and payments from the grid program it joins, not by a loan to you.
What rate will I pay?
A set rate for each kWh of solar power your system produces. Your exact rate and how it can change each year are shown in writing before you sign.
Will I still have an electric bill?
Yes. You'll still buy any power you use beyond what your solar produces from your electricity provider, plus the set rate for your solar power. We'll walk through what that looks like for your home.
What happens during an outage?
Your battery switches on by itself and powers the essential circuits you choose, like your fridge, lights and Wi-Fi. It doesn't back up the whole home, and how long it lasts depends on your stored charge and what you run.
What is a virtual power plant?
It's many home batteries working together. When Texas power demand peaks, the program can draw on stored power from enrolled batteries to support the grid.
Who is Renewable Integrity?
Renewable Integrity is an independent SOLRITE partner. We help Texas homeowners check eligibility, understand the program and schedule with SOLRITE. This site is not operated by SOLRITE Energy.
Do I have to decide right away?
No. Checking your home doesn't commit you to anything, and you'll have everything in writing before you decide.
