Happy #EarthDay, solar friends! 🌏 Protecting the earth is serious business, and we all need to be apprised of the impact the potential tariffs could have on our industry. In our latest blog post, we highlight the reasons why we believe the tariffs’ effect will be minimal on most residential and commercial #solar projects in Texas, and include the many ways Texans can benefit from solar tax and property credits, rebates and more! Read up and let us know if we can help you in any way. https://lnkd.in/g2Yq8Wa5 #residential #SolarPower #CommercialSolar #tariffs #Renewables #Texas #CleanEnergy

In honor of #EarthMonth, we’re debunking some commonly held #solarmyths. Did you know the environmental impact of manufacturing #solarpanels is far less harmful than most people think? While it's true that producing solar panels does require energy, the benefits far outweigh the initial energy input. Over their 25+ year lifespan, solar panels offset 20-30 times more carbon than is emitted during their production. #SolarEnergy also reduces reliance on #fossilfuels, leading to cleaner air, water, and a healthier planet. Finally, many manufacturers are now focusing on using recyclable materials, and 95% of the material used is recyclable, making solar panels more #sustainable than ever! While the production process does have slight impact, overall solar panels help us shift to a cleaner, greener future. #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #GoGreen #LonghornSolar #TexasSolar

As the #solarindustry continues to evolve, March brought some exciting developments in #Texas. The state is accelerating solar approvals, streamlining the process for residential solar and battery system installations.

Let’s continue to innovate and maximize our renewable potential! 🌱 #TexasEnergy #Renewables #SolarPower #BatteryStorage #SustainableFuture

Big changes are happening in #TexasSolar! ⚡️ As demand for #cleanenergy grows, so does the need for stronger consumer protections. Lawmakers are considering S.B. 1036, a bill that would require solar installers to register with the state, carry insurance, and follow standardized contracts—helping to ensure #homeowners get quality installations they can trust. With some legislators skeptical about solar’s benefits, it’s more important than ever to support policies that protect consumers while keeping #Texas at the forefront of #greenenergy. Despite challenges, we’re staying the course—because Texans deserve reliable, affordable, and responsibly installed #solarpower. Let’s work together to build a brighter, more secure energy future! https://lnkd.in/gDZwFJxf #LonghornSolar

Austin Energy's Solar Standard Offer Program makes it easier for #commercialsolar projects to thrive, offering competitive incentives and supporting a sustainable future. The initiative is designed to accelerate the installation of customer-sited #solarpanels to enhance the Community Solar Program's capacity. The program offers commercial property owners the opportunity to host solar projects, either by installing systems themselves or by leasing space to third-party system owners. System owners are compensated at competitive rates for the power generated by their panels, while making more #cleanenergy available to individual consumers. By participating, stakeholders contribute to Austin's ambitious carbon-free goals while benefiting from transparent energy valuations and potential federal tax incentives. #LonghornSolar is proud to be one of the participating suppliers for this promising initiative in #Austin! https://lnkd.in/gNMGh3JG #SolarStandardOffer #CommunitySolar #CleanEnergyInnovation #SolarPower #GreenEnergy #Sustainability 

In the past few years, homes with #solarpower sold for an average of 4.1% more across the country! In #Texas, profits could be even more when considering the cost of #energy and attractiveness to future buyers who may be looking to become #energyindependent in their next home. ⁠ ⁠ Source: https://lnkd.in/gD5fSZi ⁠ #CleanEnergy #LonghornSolar #RealEstate
