So you installed solar expecting your electric bill to drop — but every month, it’s still painfully high. What’s going on?
Many Texas homeowners are stuck with outdated or underperforming systems. Panels might be oversized, in poor condition, or never included a battery. Worse, some systems were installed by companies that have now disappeared.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need to start over.
Nonprofits like CMS Renewable Energy specialize in revamping existing solar setups. We add modern batteries, optimize performance, and provide real maintenance — all at no cost to the homeowner. If your solar savings don’t feel like savings, it’s time for a refresh.
