Jeff did a beautiful installation of my roof solar heater 11 years ago. The squirrels chewed through the roof thermocouple cable and disconnected the heater sensor. Jeff kindly came back and fixed the only chewed up part of the otherwise impeccable heater. I wish very much that this world had a few more specialists like Jeff, who can fix and install the renewable systems of the past and future. Alas, in Austin, Jeff is the only one.

Lighthouse has been great to work with. They reviewed the number of solar panels that fits my needs and explained what an increase or decrease of panels would mean. The installation was on-time. They are great at communicating and were very quick to service when needed. I highly recommend going with Lighthouse Solar.

I had my solar installed by lighthouse about two years ago. Love getting my PEC bill to see the true impact. Now I don't have to feel bad when I crank my air conditioner down. Loved working with them, they were super knowledgeable and handled all the paperwork I needed except my HOA approval, but that was easy. Now I keep my house a few degrees cooler than I used to and my bill is super low still!

During 2018 we completed several energy efficiency projects in our home. By far the most fun was getting 18 solar panels in our roof, and a lot of what made this such a fantastic experience is having Lighthouse Solar complete this project. Their commitment to quality extends beyond the installation, inspection, and activation. They were able to customize some of the installation components to meet our needs and expectations, and they did it willingly and kept things timely. If you are entertaining the idea of making your home energy efficient and the world a better place, make sure you reach out to Lighthouse Solar.

If you're shopping around for solar panels, let me save you a lot of time and just recommend you go with Lighthouse Solar. My wife and I have always known solar panels were for us and we've went to the Pedernales Electric Cooperative's solar tour for the past 3 years. We definitely wanted to take advantage of the 30% federal tax rebate so in late 2017 we decided to have 5 different companies come out (again) and give proposals both for our roof, on the ground, and potentially building a large carport.
We were shooting for 110% of our power being covered by panels. On a side note, Lighthouse Solar was the only company out of all the major names in Austin that would actually build the carport and do the solar panels. We thought about the carport option because we saw a house during the PEC solar tour that had a huge outdoor patio, made out of steel, with the roof being completely made of solar panels, that was put in place by Lighthouse Solar.
It looked amazing. In the end, we were able to get the 110%+ generation from our roof and decided to spend extra money on newer panels and microinverters to have a cutting edge system and to go over 110% rather than spending the money on the carport structure. That's another great thing about Lighthouse Solar--they aren't tied into just one brand or technology.
They will work to come up with the absolute best design and system for your house. We went back and forth with different options at least 4-5 times. From the installation crews, to master electricians, to people in the office, to handling all of the paperwork and process of Pedernales, everything was performed with professionalism and the quality is top-notch.
The Pedernales electrician who came out to inspect the installation, prior to firing it up, even stated, "Lighthouse has been doing this a long time. They do a quality job." We can now monitor every single panel on our house, anytime, anywhere, and see how much power they're generating. So back to those quotes from different companies.no one came close to Lighthouse Solar.
We could have honestly have paid $50k more with another company for the exact same system. The prices and quality of the systems (string inverters to microinverters, lesser-quality panels, etc) ranged dramatically among the 5 companies but no one was close to Lighthouse Solar. We got a top-of-the-line system for several grand cheaper than the next company, who was selling an inferior system for a higher price. Lighthouse says they can do it because they don't spend much on marketing and they also don't have a sales person come to your house with a big sales pitch, folders, and flyers.
I can attest to this and no complaints here with that approach. Ask for Erik, he took good care of us. I have no doubt though that whoever you speak with or work with at Lighthouse, they'll take good care of you.

Lighthouse installed a 15.4kW ground mounted system for me in Driftwood TX. They were flexible in allowing me to build the ground mount myself (and actually helped me with materials and a post hole driller after a regular 4ft auger failed). The installation was fast and the folks were professional. Jeff helped explain/answer several of my concerns (e.g. overloading the elec panel bus) and was responsive via email or text. Robb the sales guy was also very patient explaining things and I felt I got a better price than competing installers. We are happy with the system and just passed a 20MW production milestone.

Lighthouse Solar did an outstanding job from start to finish on my PV system. I first attended a solar fair sponsored by my electric company, PEC, in Austin in the fall. Of the 10 companies represented, I selected 5 to solicit bids and received 6 proposals from 4 companies. All the companies knew my requirements and Lighthouse (and one other) came to my house with two tailored and detailed proposals and fully answered all my questions.
After careful consideration, I selected Lighthouse. They offered high quality equipment (I did extensive research in the Internet). They were rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau since 2009 with no complaints. They use their own employees exclusively for the installation. AND, they were the most reasonably priced per watt ($2.54 - ranging up to $3.61).
They came out several times to inspect and to measure to insure they had their design right. They worked with me during the HOA approval process. On installation day, they arrived fully prepared with all the tools and materials. They paid very close attention the aesthetics and detail and completely cleaned up after themselves. They conscientiously followed up on items left undone during the main installation day.
They coordinated with me for every visit and arrived when they said they would. The system, although just a few days old, is working perfectly including terrific online production/consumption data monitoring. I am very pleased.
