Why Orthodox Electric for Solar

Licensed Solar Installers in the Brazos Valley

Most solar companies are sales organizations. We're electricians.

Many solar installers subcontract the electrical work or use undertrained crews. At Orthodox Electric, your solar system is installed by the same licensed electricians who handle our generator and panel work. Thomas Evind personally oversees every solar installation to ensure your system is wired correctly, permitted properly, and built to last decades in Texas conditions.

Solar Questions Answered

Solar Panel Installation FAQ

How much can I save with solar panels?

Savings depend on your current electricity usage, roof orientation, and local utility rates. Most homeowners in the Brazos Valley see 50-90% reduction in their electric bills. We'll provide a detailed savings estimate based on your actual usage during your consultation.

Does solar work during Texas storms and cloudy days?

Solar panels produce energy even on cloudy days, though at reduced output. During storms, your system may produce less, but you're still connected to the grid. Pair solar with battery backup for true energy independence during outages.

What size solar system do I need?

System size depends on your electricity usage and goals. A typical Brazos Valley home uses 1,200-2,000 kWh monthly — that usually requires a 8-12 kW system. We'll analyze your utility bills to recommend the right size for your needs.

What brands do you install?

We install Canadian Solar panels — one of the world's largest and most trusted panel manufacturers with excellent efficiency and 25-year warranties. For inverters, we use Solark hybrid inverters, which handle solar, battery, and grid integration in one unit and are battery-ready from day one.

How long do solar panels last?

Canadian Solar panels are warranted for 25 years and often produce well beyond that. Solark inverters typically last 10-15 years. We install equipment from manufacturers with proven track records and strong warranties.

Can I add battery backup to my solar system?

Yes — and we recommend it for Texas homeowners. We install solar systems that are battery-ready from day one. Add batteries now or later to store excess solar energy and keep your lights on during grid outages.

What about the federal solar tax credit?

The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to deduct 30% of your solar installation cost from your federal taxes. This is a dollar-for-dollar credit, not just a deduction. We recommend consulting your tax advisor for your specific situation.

Will solar panels damage my roof?

Properly installed solar panels actually protect the portion of roof they cover. We use industry-standard mounting systems with flashed attachments that maintain your roof's integrity. If your roof needs replacement soon, we recommend doing that first.
