Red Flags to Watch For
Our analysis of 2,000+ solar complaints found these warning signs:
- Prices that seem too good to be true
- Subcontracted installation crews
- Unwillingness to provide references
- Door-to-door sales with high-pressure tactics
Questions to Ask Before Signing
- Who handles my Oncor/utility interconnection paperwork?
- Are your installers W-2 employees or subcontractors?
- What happens if your company goes out of business?
- Can I see a recent installation in Dallas?
- What's included vs. extra (monitoring, critter guard, etc.)?
Local vs. National Companies
National companies (Tesla, Sunrun, etc.): Brand recognition, financing options, but often use subcontractors and have inconsistent service. Local Dallas installers: Usually better communication, local accountability, and faster service response. May have fewer financing options.
The Battery Question
If you're installing solar in 2025, consider adding a battery:
- Backup power during ERCOT outages
- Time-of-use rate optimization
- smart energy management income ($200-500/year)
- 30% federal tax credit applies
