What moves the price.
System size (kW)
Sized from your actual power bill — the biggest single driver of the total.
Battery backup
Adding storage raises the price meaningfully but keeps the lights on in an outage; it’s the most popular add-on in storm-prone metros.
Roof condition & electrical
A roof near end-of-life should be replaced first, and older panels sometimes need an electrical upgrade to take the system.
The Plano factor.
Permits & code
Each city permits separately (Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington and dozens more) — there is no single county permit office, so the pro pulls the permit with the city your address sits in.
Climate & materials
DFW is the heart of hail alley: spring supercells drop hail nearly every year, insurance claims drive a huge share of roof and exterior replacements, and impact-resistant (Class 4) materials often earn premium discounts.
The market
One of the largest contractor markets in America, but hail events create surge weeks — right after a storm, quotes and lead times both jump, so off-cycle scheduling saves real money.
