Solar Services for Your Home
Most calls we get fall into one of five kinds of work: solar panel installation, roof-mounted solar on an existing roof, battery storage, solar repair and panel cleaning. Each one involves high-voltage DC wiring and work at height, so each one gets the same careful setup before anyone climbs a ladder. If you already have panels that underperform, start with repair or cleaning. If you are starting fresh, installation and battery storage are where we usually begin the conversation.
Solar Panel Installation
Rooftop solar planned around your roof, your electrical panel and your family's safety, from the first site visit to the day the utility switches it on.
Battery Storage
Store your solar power for evenings and outages, with a battery placed, wired and labeled so it is safe for your home.
Solar Repair
We track down inverter faults, damaged panels and loose wiring, shut the system down safely, and explain what we found before any repair starts.
Panel Cleaning
Purified-water panel cleaning with soft brushes, safe roof access and a quick look at your system while we're up there.
Roof-Mounted Solar
Panels fastened to your rafters, every roof penetration flashed and sealed, and crews working tied off from start to finish.
What to Expect, Step by Step
At every stage you will know what is happening next and who will be showing up at your home.
- 1
A conversation by phone
Tell us about your home, your power bills and what you hope solar will do. We answer your questions and set up a visit.
- 2
Site visit and safety check
We look at your roof structure, shading, attic access and electrical panel. We take photos of what we find and point out anything that could affect safety or performance.
- 3
Design, estimate and permits
You receive a system design and a written estimate. Once you approve it, we pull the permits and file with the utility.
- 4
Installation day
The crew sets up fall protection, protects landscaping below the work area and installs racking, panels and wiring. Most homes stay comfortable and running during the work, with a short shutoff when we tie into the panel.
- 5
Sign-off and first power
Your system stays off until the city inspector has signed off and the utility grants permission to operate. Then we switch it on together, show you how the monitoring app reads, and point out the disconnect so you know how to shut everything down if you ever need to.
What Moves the Price of a Solar System
No two houses price out the same, so we build each quote from what we see on your roof and inside your electrical panel. These are the biggest drivers of the total. Understanding them early makes it easier to compare quotes side by side.
Once we've seen your roof and electrical setup, you receive a written estimate that breaks out every item. If anything changes, we discuss it with you before doing any added work.
- Size of the array
- Your panel count comes from how much power you use over a year and what share of it you want the sun to supply. Bigger arrays call for more panels, more rails and more wire.
- Roof shape and how we reach it
- One plain roof face pointing south or west goes faster and is safer to work than a steep roof with several levels and dormers. Steep pitches take more setup time and added fall protection.
- State of your electrical panel
- A panel that is older or already full may need upgrading before solar can tie in safely. We open it on the first visit, so any upgrade appears in your estimate from day one instead of surfacing mid-job.
- Adding a battery
- A battery adds equipment and changes how the system is wired. Backing up a handful of circuits takes a smaller setup than backing up the entire house.
- The equipment you pick
- How efficient the panels are, which inverter you use and what monitoring you want all affect the price. We lay out the pros and cons in everyday language so you can pick what matches your goals.
- Permits and the utility
- City permits, inspections and getting approval to connect to the utility each add steps. We take care of the paperwork, and your estimate shows what each of those costs.
About McKinney Solar Installation
We are a solar company that works on homes across McKinney and the surrounding area. Our work is solar panel installation, roof-mounted solar, battery storage, solar repair and panel cleaning, and nothing outside of that. Keeping our focus narrow means our crews know these systems well.
We believe a solar system should make your home better without ever making it less safe. North Texas summers bring long, hot days on the roof, and spring storms can bring hail. We plan our work around both, so crews stay safe and your system is built to handle the weather it will see.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Solar is an electrical system sitting on your roof for decades. We work like that matters, because it does.
Recognized for safe work
We received the Liberty Mutual Platinum Safety Award. It reflects habits we keep on every job: fall protection on the roof, ladders tied off and inspected, and nobody working on live circuits.
Your electrical panel gets a real look
Before we design anything, we check your main service panel, breaker capacity and grounding. If something there is not ready for solar, we tell you plainly and explain what it means for the project.
Roof penetrations sealed properly
Every mount that goes through your roof is flashed and sealed so water stays out. We photograph the attachment points so you can see the work that ends up hidden under the panels.
A job site you can live around
Kids and pets stay safe when the work area is marked off, tools are picked up at the end of each day and wire scraps never end up in the yard. We walk the property with you before we leave.
Straight answers, no pressure
If panels are not a good fit for your roof or your shading, we say so. You get a written estimate and time to think it over.
Questions Homeowners Ask Us
- Is my roof ready for solar?
- It depends on the roof's age and condition, which direction it faces and how much shade falls on it. We check all of that during our visit and tell you straight. If the roof is due for replacement soon, we'll mention it, since removing and reinstalling panels later adds cost.
- Will solar panels cause roof leaks?
- Not when the mounts are installed and sealed correctly. Every attachment is flashed and sealed, and we photograph each one before the panels cover it, so you can see how your roof was protected.
- Is it safe to have high-voltage equipment on my home?
- Yes, when the system is designed and installed to code. We put in proper disconnects, label every part and show you how to shut the system off. The city inspection is another check that the work meets electrical safety standards.
- Do I need to be home on install day?
- Not the whole day, but we'd like someone home when we arrive and again as we wrap up. In the morning we settle where equipment goes and rope off the work zone. At the end we walk the property with you and show you the disconnect and monitoring. Keeping pets indoors while we're on the roof helps keep everyone safe.
- Does my HOA get a say in my solar panels?
- Usually it can weigh in on placement and looks, but it can't keep you from going solar. Texas law generally stops associations from banning panels outright. We prepare the layout drawings and equipment details your HOA asks for, so your application is complete when it goes in.
- Should I get a battery?
- A battery stores solar power for evening use and can keep the circuits you choose running during a grid outage. It helps some homes and isn't needed in others. We'll look at your goals and your electrical setup and tell you honestly which applies to you.
- How often should panels be cleaned?
- Dust, pollen and bird droppings build up on panels, especially through dry spells with little rain. Many homeowners schedule a cleaning once or twice a year. We clean with soft brushes and purified water while working from secure footing on the roof.
- Is your work covered by a warranty?
- Yes. Our solar work carries a 10-year workmanship warranty. If something we installed isn't right, call us and we'll come take a look. Your panels, inverters and other equipment also come with manufacturer coverage, which we go over with you.
