Full-Scope C&I Solar Solutions
From installation to ongoing maintenance — every service handled by a licensed master electrician with 25+ years of commercial electrical experience.
Rooftop Solar Installation
The most common commercial configuration. Mount solar panels on your existing roof structure — warehouses, office buildings, retail locations, and manufacturing facilities. Rooftop systems use otherwise wasted space to generate revenue and reduce your operating costs without taking up ground area.

Ground-Mount Solar Arrays
Ideal for agriculture operations, ranches, and facilities with available land. Ground-mount systems eliminate roof limitations — panels are installed at the optimal angle and orientation for maximum energy production. Common for farms offsetting irrigation, cold storage, and processing facility loads.

Commercial Battery Storage
Battery systems do more than backup power for commercial facilities. They manage demand charges — the most expensive component of most commercial electric bills. Store energy during low-demand periods and discharge during peaks to shave 30–50% off demand charges. Combined with solar, batteries turn your energy strategy from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

Generator + Solar + Battery Integration
For facilities where power continuity is non-negotiable — cold storage, manufacturing lines, data operations. Solar handles daily production, batteries cover short outages and demand management, and a generator provides extended backup. We design and install the complete system so all three work together as one.

You've Decided on Commercial Solar — Here's Why Brazos Valley Businesses Choose Us
Most commercial solar installers send a project manager and a sales team. The person quoting your system has never pulled wire or read a single-line diagram. That disconnect shows up in the design, the installation, and the problems that surface after commissioning.
Texas Solar & Batteries is led by a licensed master electrician with 25+ years of commercial electrical experience — from three-phase industrial wiring to high-voltage distribution panels. We design your system, oversee every connection, and handle the full scope of electrical work without subcontracting.
Years of licensed electrical experience — from commercial builds and three-phase industrial wiring across the Brazos Valley
Texas Electrical Contractor License TECL# 38638. Texas Master Electrician License TEML# 607390. These credentials require years of field experience and rigorous state exams — they're not handed out with a weekend certification course.

The Electrician Who Designs It Builds It
On commercial solar projects, there's usually a sales team, a design team, and an installation crew that have never spoken to each other. At Texas Solar & Batteries, the master electrician who evaluates your facility, designs your system, and pulls the electrical permits is the same person overseeing every connection on your roof. We have the commercial electrical background to handle three-phase power, demand management, and utility interconnection — not just panel mounting.
Commercial electrical systems are more complex than residential. Your building's three-phase power, demand charges, and load profile all affect system design. Our master electrician license means we understand the electrical infrastructure your solar connects to — not just the solar equipment itself.
electrical scope
One Contractor for Everything — Solar, Battery, Generator, Electrical
Commercial projects often require panel upgrades, transformer work, or generator integration alongside the solar installation. Most solar companies subcontract the electrical work to a third party. We handle the complete electrical scope in-house — solar, battery storage, generator integration, main service upgrades, and utility coordination. One contractor, one point of accountability, one team that understands how everything connects.
When your solar system ties into a 400A three-phase service with an existing backup generator, you need an electrician who's done that work before — not a solar installer learning on the job. We have 25+ years of exactly that kind of commercial electrical work.
Brazos Valley based
Your System Is a 25-Year Relationship, Not a Transaction
National solar companies install your system and move on to the next market. If something needs attention in year 5, you're calling a 1-800 number and waiting for someone to drive in from Houston. Texas Solar & Batteries is based in Navasota and has been doing electrical work across Grimes, Brazos, and Washington counties for over two decades. When you need service, you're calling the team that built it.
For businesses, downtime means lost revenue. When your system needs attention, response time matters. We're 20 minutes from Bryan-College Station, not 90 minutes from Houston.
Recover 45–55% of Your System Cost Through Tax Benefits
Federal Investment Tax Credit
Direct credit against your federal tax liability. Dollar-for-dollar reduction on 30% of your total system cost — panels, inverters, wiring, battery storage, and installation labor.
First-Year MACRS Depreciation
5-year accelerated depreciation schedule with bonus depreciation in the first year. Write off the majority of your solar investment immediately, significantly reducing taxable income.
Texas Property Tax Exemption
Texas exempts 100% of the appraised value added by solar energy systems from property taxes. Your system adds value to your facility without increasing your tax burden.
The 30% ITC requires construction to begin by July 4, 2026. After that, the credit phases down for projects that don't meet prevailing wage requirements. MACRS bonus depreciation is also stepping down year over year. The window for maximum tax benefits is open now — but it won't stay open indefinitely.
What Does Commercial Solar Save Your Business?
The numbers are straightforward. We provide exact projections based on your facility's actual energy usage, demand charges, and rate structure.
Electricity Cost Reduction
Commercial solar systems typically reduce electricity costs by 50–75%. For a business spending $5,000/month on electricity, that's $30,000–$45,000 in annual savings — money that goes directly to your bottom line.

Most commercial systems see a 3–7 year payback period with ROI exceeding 16%. The exact return depends on your electricity rates, demand charges, system size, and how much you can offset through the 30% federal tax credit and MACRS depreciation. We provide a detailed financial analysis during your free site evaluation.
The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) allows businesses to depreciate solar equipment over 5 years instead of the system's 25+ year lifespan. With bonus depreciation, you can write off the majority of your system cost in the first year. Combined with the 30% ITC, businesses typically recover 45–55% of their total system cost through tax benefits alone.
Minimal disruption. Commercial rooftop installations typically take 1–3 weeks depending on system size. Most work happens on the roof with no impact on your daily operations. We coordinate the installation schedule around your business hours and critical operations. Electrical cutover — when the system ties into your building's power — is planned in advance and typically takes a few hours.
Yes — and this is often the biggest savings opportunity for commercial customers. Texas demand charges are based on your peak usage (measured in kW). Solar reduces daytime peaks, and adding battery storage allows peak shaving — storing energy during low-demand periods and discharging during peaks. Many businesses see a 30–50% reduction in demand charges with a properly sized solar + battery system.
Your roof should have at least 10–15 years of useful life remaining before installing solar. We inspect roof condition during the site evaluation. If your roof needs replacement first, we can coordinate with your roofing contractor — we handle solar removal and reinstallation for re-roofs as a standard service.
National companies often use subcontractors for the actual electrical work and move between markets based on where the incentives are richest. Texas Solar & Batteries has been doing commercial electrical work in the Brazos Valley for 25+ years. Our team holds master electrician and electrical contractor licenses, designs every system personally, and will be here for the 25-year life of your system. When something needs attention, you're calling the team that built it, not a regional service desk.
