Thinking about solar? It’s easier than ever for homeowners!
Going solar in Austin just got simpler — and potentially more rewarding — thanks to a major online update from Austin Energy.
The community-owned utility has launched a new “For Your Home” solar guide packed with tools, rebates, and insider tips to help homeowners decide if solar is right for them. The redesigned page offers:
- A $2,500 cash rebate for eligible installations
- Step-by-step checklists to avoid costly mistakes
- Tips on choosing a trusted, approved solar contractor
- A full start-to-finish roadmap, from your first question to flipping the switch in your home
- A bill credit explanation so you understand exactly how your solar savings add up
- A look at battery backup options to keep the lights on during outages
The site also breaks down the Value of Solar rate, which pays residents 9.91 cents per kilowatt-hour for the clean energy they generate.
“Our goal was to take the guesswork out of going solar in Austin,” said Tim Harvey, Austin Energy’s director of customer renewable energy solutions. “We’ve pulled everything into one easy-to-use hub so customers can make informed decisions and see exactly how solar can work for their home.”
The federal solar tax credit is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2025. Acting now could mean thousands in savings!
