The Verdict

Central Texas Solar & Lighting will fix someone else's sloppy work even if it means driving hours outside their service area. We found 23 reviewers who mentioned post-sale support, and not one had a negative word to say about it. One homeowner's original installer went out of business mid-repair after a hailstorm damaged eight panels. The new sales rep at Central Texas Solar could have politely declined the job (the house was well beyond their usual 100-mile radius), but instead convinced the owner to take it on, matched the original estimate, and sent the owner himself to troubleshoot when the monitoring app showed issues. In another case, a system sat broken for nearly a year because the first installer used cheap wiring connectors that kept failing. Central Texas Solar's crew identified the substandard parts in one visit, replaced them properly, and got the panels running again. Reviews show 21 mentions of solid project management, though a handful noted they had to chase updates during permitting delays with the utility.

If you want an installer who'll honor quality over convenience (and clean up a predecessor's mess without charging you for the lesson), Central Texas Solar is worth the call.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Eugenio V.
Yelp | Nov 1, 2024 |

Eugenio V. had a 42-panel system on his roof for about three years when a severe hailstorm on Memorial Day 2024 damaged the roof and eight panels. He reached back out to the original installer (OrgCom) and first connected with Dan Moran, who quickly provided the roofer with the exact uninstall/reinstall information needed and checked in periodically as repairs were arranged. As the job neared, Dan told him he had left OrgCom and gave a new contact — but the roofer couldn’t reach anyone there. Eugenio phoned Dan again; Dan uncovered that OrgCom had ceased operations and that he was now with Central Texas Solar. Although Central Texas Solar normally limits work to a 100-mile radius from San Antonio, Dan spoke with his new boss and got them to take the job even though Eugenio lived well outside that area. Central Texas Solar matched OrgCom’s repair estimate, coordinated with the roofer to remove panels for the roof work, then returned to reinstall them. The crew drove up from San Antonio and worked into the night to finish. When some panels still didn’t show as active in the MySolarEdge app, Eugenio’s roofer alerted Central Texas Solar and the company sent a crew back. On October

2. Kenneth Humphrey
Google | Sep 19, 2025 |

Kenneth Humphrey endured almost a year of frustration after Texas Solar installed his system with cheap connection materials that triggered repeated faults and left the panels essentially useless. Ruben and B from Central Texas Solar arrived, quickly identified the poor-quality connections the original crew had left behind, explained the root cause in plain terms, and repaired the system using proper materials and techniques. He walked away with the system finally running as it should for the first time in a long while and singled out Ruben and B’s professionalism, knowledge, and straightforward approach. What stuck with him was that Central Texas Solar fixed the underlying problem instead of offering temporary band‑aids—replacing the substandard connectors and restoring functionality—which made the difference after months of downtime.

3. Kurt Retherford

Kurt followed a friend's recommendation to hire Central Texas Solar & Lighting to outfit his home with panels, batteries and an EV fast-charger. He discovered first-rate workmanship and a friendly, professional crew who steered him toward an Enphase system and panels that hit the sweet spot between affordability and efficiency. The Enlighten app made daily production and consumption easy to check, and because the installers are electricians by trade he asked them to include an EV fast-charger in the same quote. They tackled a tight attic run with a clever routing solution to get power to the other side of the house, and when he splurged on batteries they turned out to look as good as they perform. He especially appreciated choosing Enphase batteries over a Powerwall given current events; during a recent snow storm the system automatically shifted from cost-saving mode into full backup based on weather predictions, which was reassuring and sealed the decision to invest in storage.

1. eugenio vargas
Google | Nov 1, 2024 |

Three years after installing a 42-panel system, eugenio watched a severe hailstorm on Memorial Day 2024 shatter his roof and take out eight panels. He reached back to the original installer (OrgCom) and connected with Dan Moran, who quickly supplied the technical details the roofer needed to safely uninstall and later reinstall the array and checked in periodically as repairs moved forward. As the work approached, Dan told him he’d left OrgCom and handed over a new contact — but the roofer couldn’t get anyone on the line. He phoned Dan again; Dan offered to intervene and learned OrgCom had actually ceased operations. Dan had moved to Central Texas Solar, a firm that normally limits work to a 100-mile radius from San Antonio. Rather than walk away, Dan spoke with his new boss and arranged for Central Texas Solar to take the job even though the house sat well outside their service area. Central Texas Solar matched OrgCom’s repair estimate, coordinated with the roofer to remove the panels during the roof work, then drove up from San Antonio to reinstall them — working late into the night to finish. When the MySolarEdge app still didn’t show all panels online, the roofer alerted CT

3. Bahman Khafaji
Google | Nov 19, 2025 |

Bahman chose Central Texas Solar for a rooftop solar system and came away very satisfied. He highlighted clear communication throughout the process and singled out Ruben, who walked him through all the system details and set up the Enphase app so he could monitor performance. He awarded the company five stars and called them 100% reliable. That hands-on onboarding—having the app configured and the information explained—was the detail that made the installation feel complete.

1. DesiMary Islas
Google | Nov 24, 2025 |

After another installer essentially left her to fend for herself and threatened to remove all the panels for thousands of dollars, DesiMary found her faith in the solar industry restored when she called Central Texas Solar. She faced a leaky roof that required repairs, and Mr. Leo and his team stepped in without delay: they moved only the panels necessary so the roofer could work, then reinstalled them afterward. The whole job cost her a fraction of the original company's price, the roof leak was fixed, and her system was returned to service promptly and professionally. What stuck with her was how they avoided an expensive full-panel removal by shifting and replacing only what was needed — fast, affordable, and hands-on.

2. B P
Google | Nov 12, 2025 |

B P hired Texas Solar Tech to install a new inverter on their home solar system and watched Mr. Ruben handle the job from start to finish. They found his approach professional and efficient, with tidy wiring and careful mounting that demonstrated real attention to detail. Ruben explained the remaining steps to get the SolarEdge communications online in a clear, step‑by‑step way, so they left confident about how the system would be monitored and finished. What lingered most was that clear walkthrough of the SolarEdge setup — it turned a solid installation into a worry‑free handoff.

David Rountree ran into problems with his home's solar system, and the company quickly tracked down what was wrong and repaired it. He left impressed by their ability to diagnose the issue fast and get the system back to normal with minimal fuss — the speed of the fix was the thing that stood out.

2. noyes livingston
Google | Jun 24, 2025 |

Noyes picked Texas Solar & Lighting after comparing several installers because their knowledge and sincerity stood out, and as a veteran he valued integrity and clear communication. They found the whole process professional from the initial consult through the proposal and installation, with pricing that stayed competitive. The crew left them with an Enphase-based system now up and running; the reviewer highlighted the Enphase product line and its monitoring tools as the most striking feature. They watch the system produce electricity in real time, see the dollar savings accumulate, and track excess export credits back to CPS. Looking ahead, they plan to expand the array and add energy storage, and they intend to go back to Texas Solar & Lighting when that time comes — the live monitoring and visible credits are the detail they keep coming back to.
