Solar questions, answered
What does solar cost in San Antonio?
Typical residential installs run $15,000–$30,000 before incentives ($2.50–$3.50/watt). The 30% federal tax credit applies. CPS Energy buys back surplus via their net-metering-style program.
Is solar worth it in San Antonio?
SA gets ~250 sunny days/year and summer AC loads align with peak production — one of Texas's better solar markets. Payback typically lands 8–13 years depending on usage and CPS buyback rates.
How does CPS Energy handle solar buyback?
CPS Energy credits solar customers for exported power at a set rate (lower than retail). System sizing against your own daytime usage matters more than maximizing exports.
Do I need battery storage?
Optional but increasingly popular after Texas grid events. Batteries add $8,000–$15,000; without one, grid-tied systems shut off during outages.
Will solar work on my roof?
South/west-facing unshaded roof sections in good condition are ideal. Live-oak shading is the #1 killer in older SA neighborhoods — get a shade analysis before signing.
