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 Round Rock factor.
Permits & code
The City of Austin’s Development Services Department is famously thorough (and slower than neighboring cities); fast-growing suburbs like Round Rock and Georgetown permit separately and often faster.
