Five Solar Myths We Still Hear in DFW
Let's clear up the most common misconceptions homeowners ask about.
Myth 1: Solar doesn't work in Texas summers. Reality: DFW has some of the best solar resource in the country, and modern panels handle heat well.
Myth 2: Solar damages your roof. Reality: Professionally flashed mounts actually shield the underlying shingles from UV and weather.
Myth 3: You lose power during outages. Reality: Solar plus battery keeps essentials running. Solar alone, by design, shuts off during a grid outage for safety.
Myth 4: Panels stop working after 10 years. Reality: Tier-1 modules carry 25-year production warranties.
Myth 5: It's too late to claim the tax credit. Reality: The 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit is in effect through 2032 under current law.
