Icon Power designs and installs home solar and battery storage for homeowners across Dallas–Fort Worth, from Fort Worth to Frisco.
One accountable team handles your design, permits, installation and service.
Solar in Dallas–Fort Worth
For many DFW homeowners, yes, but the details depend on your electricity plan. Most of the metroplex is deregulated, with Oncor delivering power, so your retail electricity provider decides what it pays for the solar you export. Long, hot summers and spring storm outages also make a battery a big part of going solar here.
Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.
Buyback
In most of DFW, Oncor owns the poles and wires, but your retail electricity provider sets your rate and decides what it pays for extra solar. Picking the right plan matters as much as picking the right panels.
Some providers credit exported solar at a fixed rate, some pay a wholesale-based rate, and some plans don't pay for exports at all. We review your options before you sign.
Solar you use as it's produced offsets power you'd otherwise buy at your full retail rate, so it's usually worth more than solar you export.
Garland and Denton run their own electric utilities, and some suburbs are served by co-ops such as CoServ, where solar credits work differently. We confirm your utility by address before we design.
Plans and rates change, so we confirm the current options for your home in your quote.
Incentives
What Dallas–Fort Worth homeowners can still use in 2026.
Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.
Under Texas Tax Code §11.27, the value solar adds to your home is exempt from property tax. File Form 50-123 with your county appraisal district, such as Dallas, Tarrant, Collin or Denton, to claim it.
In Oncor territory, your retail provider's buyback plan is how exported solar earns credit. Terms vary widely, so we compare plans with you.
Texas doesn't have a state income tax, so there's no state solar tax credit. Your savings come from lower electric bills.
The federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-purchased systems on December 31, 2025. If you'd rather not pay upfront, ask about our no-upfront-cost monthly battery program.
Buyer protections
The Texas Residential Solar Retailer Regulatory Act gives DFW homeowners new protections when they buy solar.
For contracts signed on or after September 1, 2025, you can cancel without penalty by giving written notice within five business days of signing.
Starting September 1, 2026, residential solar retailers and salespeople must register with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
Your contract must name the licensed electrical contractor doing the installation and the last day you can cancel.
Battery storage
Severe storms on May 28, 2024 knocked out power to more than 500,000 North Texas customers. A battery keeps your home running and makes your solar work harder.
Keep the fridge, lights, Wi-Fi and AC essentials running when storms or ice take down the grid. Solar panels alone shut off during an outage.
Store midday solar instead of selling it back at a low buyback rate.
Some Texas retail electricity providers pay homes to share stored energy with the grid during high-demand periods.
How it works
We review your electric bills, roof and goals, then design a system sized to how your home actually uses power.
We handle city permits, HOA paperwork and interconnection with Oncor or your local utility.
One accountable team installs your system and supports it after turn-on.
After inspection, your utility approves your system to operate, and we help you set up monitoring and choose a buyback plan.

See what our customers are saying
"I have to say that The Hydra Crew from Icon Power did an absolutely amazing job with our solar installation. They are very friendly and extremely hard workers with attention to detail... they made the magic happen. It's like artwork. They were very clean throughout the process and the product and service they provided is top notch."
"Jordan and his team made the process super easy. They reconfigured some of our existing solar and they added a Tesla battery so we could maximize our utility savings. They handled all the permits... If you are on the fence about solar or a battery — schedule a meeting and they will show you the numbers. You won't regret it."
"Icon showed up within a week with two technicians who were absolutely incredibly awesome!... Icon customer service were top notch and efficient in getting back to me within 24 hours... I am so impressed with Icon Solar that I cannot even express my gratitude... They get 10 stars!"
"This is the 4th solar system I have installed over the years, and Icon Power (Jordan especially) has been Excellent. They were fast, well communicated, instant to respond to any question... I have never experienced such a great install that was very quick, and their lease-to-own option was a great deal reducing the cost."
"Polite, Professional, Proficient. From the initial sales contact, complete with full explanation of time line/benefits/cost options to professional, rapid install to frequent timeline updates and onsite checkups, Icon Power provides you, the customer, with the care and attention that truly makes you a part of the entire project."
"It's unusual these days to work with someone who does great work, for a fair price and in a timely manner, but Icon Power does that and more. We needed them to install an EV charging station and couldn't be happier with the results."
"I have done many solar and other home projects in my life time, this by all means was clear, professional, swift and DONE. Definitely a five stars performance... Awesome work. Strongly recommended."
"Cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Ramone and the Hydra crew. Extremely conscientious, knowledgeable and dedicated. Making sure everything was done safely and accurately... We are much safer now than we were before they showed up. Again highly recommended. You will not go wrong."
"Icon Power was great to work with. Shawn and his crew were fabulous for the install. They ensured we had an install done right, the first time, and didn't have ugly silver conduit running across our roof... they worked with me and around my schedule and had us connected and ready for inspections and the PTO quickly!"
Answers on buyback plans, utilities, property taxes, batteries and contract rights in DFW.
For many homeowners, yes. DFW's long cooling season makes solar a good fit, and the value solar adds to your home is exempt from property tax. How much you save depends on your utility and your retail provider's buyback plan, so we size your system around your actual usage.
Yes. In Oncor territory, your retail electricity provider decides whether and how much it pays for exported solar. If you're in a city with its own utility, like Garland or Denton, or on a co-op like CoServ, that utility sets the rules. We confirm which applies to your address.
Not by itself. Grid-tied solar panels shut off during an outage for safety. To keep power on, you need a battery such as a Tesla Powerwall 3 or FranklinWH.
Not for a system you buy. The federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-purchased systems on December 31, 2025. If your system was installed and operating by then, you claim it for the tax year it was placed in service. Texas has no state income tax, so there's no state solar credit. Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.
No. Under Texas Tax Code §11.27, the value solar adds to your home is exempt from property tax. You claim it by filing Form 50-123 with your county appraisal district.
Yes. For home solar contracts signed on or after September 1, 2025, Texas law lets you cancel without penalty by giving written notice within five business days of signing.
