Our Story

We started Solaris Energy with a simple belief: every rooftop should generate clean power. Here's how we got here.

Solaris Energy founders reviewing solar system designs

From Two Installers to a Full Energy Company

Solaris Energy Co. was founded in 2016 by two electrical engineers who spent years watching solar technology improve while installation costs stayed unnecessarily high. The industry was full of middlemen, confusing pricing, and pressure tactics. We knew there was a better way.

We started small, installing systems for friends, family, and neighbors in Austin. Word spread quickly because our approach was different: transparent pricing, quality equipment, and installations done right the first time. No sales pressure, no hidden fees, no corners cut.

Today, we've installed over 2,500 systems across Texas. We've grown from a two-person crew to a team of 35 certified installers, electricians, and energy consultants. The mission hasn't changed. We want to make solar so simple and affordable that choosing it becomes the obvious decision.

What Drives Every Decision

Three principles guide how we design, install, and support every solar energy system.

Clean Energy First

Every system we install displaces an average of 12.4 tons of CO2 annually. That's the equivalent of planting 200 trees per year per household. We measure our success in emissions reduced, not just panels sold.

Quality Installation

We use Tier 1 panels and certified microinverters backed by 25-year warranties. Our installation team is NABCEP-certified, and every system passes a rigorous 42-point inspection before we hand over the keys.

Long-Term Value

We design systems to maximize your return, not our margins. That means right-sizing your array, optimizing panel placement, and helping you take advantage of every available rebate, credit, and incentive.
