Reliant Helps Texans Shine in 2023 With Rooftop Solar

— New offer makes installing solar a win-win for Texans—

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Millions of Texans kicked off the new year with renewed resolutions to save money, live more sustainably and complete multiple home projects. Reliant also has big plans for 2023 and has launched a rooftop solar offer along with a solar concierge service that educates and enables homeowners. With rooftop solar from Reliant, customers can experience a one-stop-shop for solar panel installation and an exclusive electricity plan that offers uncapped credits for excess energy generated.

“With more Texans considering solar as a way to power their homes, we want to make installing solar easy by providing personalized service and options to help maximize their investment,” said Elizabeth Killinger, president of Reliant. “We design every offer with our customers in mind and are thrilled to provide tailored solutions for those powering their homes with the sun.”

To begin the process, homeowners can schedule a free assessment with a Reliant Solar Energy Expert, who is skilled at helping customers design the system most suitable for their household. The Solar Energy Expert can also help homeowners understand financing options, incentives and answer any questions about the process. Reliant then facilitates a seamless install through a solar power installation partner that has field-tested professionals with years of experience specializing in residential rooftop systems.

Following installation through Reliant, customers gain access to the exclusive Simple Solar Sell Back electricity plan, which features:

  • Unlimited bill credits for any solar electricity generated that a household doesn’t consume and is returned to the grid.
  • Bill credits at the same price per kilowatt hour that homeowners pay for electricity with the plan. Credits go toward the total bill, which includes both electricity and TDSP fees.
  • A competitive fixed electricity price locked in for the length of their plan term.
  • Reliant’s award-winning customer service and the Reliant smart phone app, which provides personalized insights of a homeowner’s solar energy usage and generation in the palm of their hands.

While the Simple Solar Sell Back plan is exclusive for new solar installations with Reliant, homeowners with existing rooftop panels can also earn bill credits through the Solar Payback Plus plan for any excess energy their panels generate. For renters and customers not interested in panels, Reliant offers the 100% Solar plan and the innovative, award-winning Make It Solar program that can be added to any qualifying electricity plan for a monthly fee. When it comes to solar, Reliant makes it simple and has options to fit every lifestyle and budget. Compare solar offerings by visiting Reliant.com/solar or calling 1-866-Reliant.
