Why El Paso Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
El Paso’s energy landscape presents extraordinary opportunities for solar adoption. With El Paso Electric residential rates averaging approximately 13 cents per kWh—and a recently approved 14% rate increase taking effect in 2025–2026—plus summer bills climbing to $140+ during peak cooling months, homeowners and businesses across El Paso County are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems in one of America’s sunniest cities.
💰
Rising Energy Costs
El Paso Electric residential rates average approximately 13 cents per kWh, with a recently approved 14% rate increase taking effect in 2025–2026—the utility’s first increase in five years. Summer bills climb to $140+ during peak cooling months (June through September), while the average residential customer spends approximately $1,500–$2,100+ per year on electricity. As El Paso Electric invests in infrastructure upgrades including the $211 million Newman 6 natural gas turbine, continued rate pressure is expected. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing critical protection against continued rate increases across El Paso County and Far West Texas.
🌨️
Winter Storms & Grid Resilience
El Paso and Far West Texas face extreme desert weather challenges year-round. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F for weeks at a time, straining the electrical grid during peak cooling demand. Unlike most of Texas, El Paso operates on the Western Interconnection grid (not ERCOT), but still experienced significant outages during extreme weather events. Dust storms, flash flooding during monsoon season (July–September), and rare but dangerous winter freeze events add seasonal risks. Battery storage and backup generator systems provide essential resilience—keeping your home or business powered during extreme heat events, monsoon-driven outages, and desert storm emergencies.
☀️
Exceptional Solar Resources
El Paso—known as the Sun City—receives approximately 6.0–7.0 peak sun hours daily with 293+ sunny days per year and over 3,700 hours of annual sunshine, making it one of the premier solar locations in the entire United States. The high desert elevation (3,710 feet) and clear Chihuahuan Desert skies provide intense, consistent solar radiation year-round. Combined with Texas’s 100% property tax exemption for solar value, El Paso Electric’s net metering program crediting excess solar at retail rates, and available federal tax credits for commercial and third-party-owned installations, El Paso offers extraordinary solar production that drives strong payback—especially when paired with battery storage for grid backup during desert heat emergencies.

30% Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)
The federal Investment Tax Credit provides a 30% tax credit on solar and battery systems. Note: The residential ITC (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill. However, commercial installations can still qualify for the 30% ITC through 2026 with safe harbor provisions. Homeowners can still access the commercial ITC through solar leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), where the third-party system owner claims the credit and passes savings to you through lower monthly payments.
🏠
TX Property Tax Exemption & El Paso Electric Net Metering
Texas provides a 100% property tax exemption for the added value of solar energy systems—your solar installation won’t increase your property taxes despite adding $10,000–$15,000+ in home value (studies show solar adds ~4.1% to Texas home values). El Paso Electric offers net metering for residential solar systems up to 50 kW, crediting excess solar production at the retail rate with a minimum monthly bill of $30.25. EPE installs a bidirectional meter at no cost, and accumulated credits above $50 are paid out. These incentives, combined with El Paso’s extraordinary solar production—the best in Texas—make solar a strong financial investment even without the expired federal residential tax credit.
🔄
Net Metering & Energy Choice Savings
El Paso Electric’s net metering program credits excess solar at the retail rate—a significantly better deal than many Texas utilities. Your system must be sized based on your prior year’s electricity consumption (no oversizing), and the minimum monthly bill is $30.25. Battery storage complements net metering by storing daytime production for evening self-consumption, further reducing grid dependence. Battery storage also provides critical grid independence during desert heat emergencies, monsoon storms, and rare winter freeze events. C-PACE financing is available for commercial properties in Texas. With El Paso Electric’s recently approved 14% rate increase, solar+battery systems provide the ultimate energy security and cost protection.
Frequently Asked Questions – Solar & Energy in El Paso
Solar panels perform extraordinarily well in El Paso’s climate—this is one of the absolute best solar markets in the entire country, rivaling Phoenix and Las Vegas. Known as the Sun City, El Paso receives 293+ sunny days per year and 6.0–7.0 peak sun hours daily with over 3,700 hours of annual sunshine. The high desert elevation (3,710 feet) provides intense, clear solar radiation. We optimize for Chihuahuan Desert conditions with:
High-efficiency panels with superior temperature coefficients that maximize cold-weather power production
Microinverters that optimize each panel independently, maintaining output even when some panels have partial snow cover
Optimized tilt angles (around 32°) that maximize annual production at El Paso’s latitude—capturing maximum energy from the intense desert sun year-round
System designs that capitalize on El Paso’s extraordinary year-round solar resource—the best in Texas—paired with battery storage to maximize self-consumption and provide grid backup
Over a full year, El Paso solar installations typically produce 1,600–1,900 kWh per installed kW—50–70% more than northern installations and the highest production in Texas. Combined with Texas’s property tax exemption, El Paso Electric’s retail-rate net metering, available commercial tax credits, and battery storage for evening self-consumption, El Paso offers strong solar returns with payback typically 8–12 years—accelerating as El Paso Electric rates continue to climb with the recently approved 14% increase.
Modern solar panels and mounting systems are engineered for severe weather conditions. The equipment we supply is tested and certified to withstand:
Dust and debris resistance: Anti-soiling coatings and smooth tempered glass surfaces that shed desert dust and sand, with periodic rainfall during monsoon season providing natural cleaning
Extreme heat: All components rated for continuous operation above 110°F, with ventilated enclosures, temperature-managed batteries, and high-temperature-coefficient panels that minimize output loss during El Paso’s hottest desert summer days when temperatures exceed 100°F for weeks
