Going solar might sound complicated, but we like to keep things simple. Here’s how we make it happen, step by step—from a local team who knows your neighborhood.
Going solar with Freedom Power is smart, well-planned, and handled by people who know what they’re doing. We do the heavy lifting and you enjoy the power.
We start by checking out your home and your energy needs. Think of it as a “get to know you” for your roof and your bills. We measure sun exposure, roof condition, and energy usage so we can design a system that actually makes sense for your home—not a cookie-cutter setup.
Yes, there’s paperwork. But we handle it. From HOA approvals to city permits and inspections, we make sure everything is above board. You don’t have to lift a finger—except maybe to tell your neighbors about your new solar setup.
Our crews bring the system to life. Panels, wiring, inverters—installed with care and precision. We respect your home like it’s our own. And yes, we do our best to leave your driveway intact.
Once the system is live, you start seeing the benefits immediately. Lower utility bills, cleaner energy, and peace of mind. And with monitoring equipment, you can track your system’s performance in real-time—because knowing your panels are working hard never gets old.
We don’t disappear after the install. Our team is here for questions, maintenance, and anything unexpected. Think of us as your solar pit crew—ready to make sure your home keeps running smooth for years to come.
Going solar isn’t a one-and-done deal. At Freedom Power, we stick around. Whether it’s questions about performance, routine maintenance, or just checking in to make sure everything is running smoothly, our team is here for the long haul. Think of us as your home’s personal energy pit crew—ready to keep your system performing at its best for years to come.
Our Customer Care team will be in touch with you about the remaining steps to get your system turned on.
These steps vary depending on your utility and local jurisdiction.
Upon passage of any necessary inspections, and we will provide instructions about how to energize your system, and you will be given access to an online monitoring portal to track your solar output in real-time.
The number of installation days can vary based on the size of your system. In general, our team can fully install a standard sized residential solar array in 1 dedicated workday. For larger systems, it may take 2 to 3 days.
We’ll do our best to communicate proactively about any factors that may push your installation timeline out, and weather is always a factor—we can’t install on rainy or extremely windy days. Our goal is always to provide realistic schedule expectations, and keep you informed of your timeline and any delays.
Our fully licensed and insured solar installation crew will be the ones completing the work at your home. A typical installation team consists of:
We do background checks on all staff that will access your property—safety and security is our top priority.
You will maintain power throughout most of the solar installation process. However, there will likely be a 4-6 hour planned shutdown when we tie your solar system into your home's main electrical panel.
During this final hookup, we will need to safely shut off power from the grid so our electricians can complete the connections. We give advance notice before any outage.
Freedom Power is locally owned and operated, founded in 2007 by brothers-in-law who were born and raised in Austin, Texas. After growing throughout the state of Texas, we expanded to nationally on our commercial division and Florida for residential operations. We have completed projects for commercial clients including Whole Foods, the University of Texas, and The United States Air Force, along with thousands of residential solar panel projects. We take pride in providing quality parts and service throughout the turn-key installation process and most importantly, servicing your solar array after the installation is complete. We believe in going above and beyond to exceed the customer's expectations and give the best possible customer service.
25 years bumper to bumper coverage includes power production, product coverage, and service/labor. If any issues, which are rare, arise with your array, Freedom Power replaces the product on behalf of the manufacturer. Our Complete Freedom Warranty differentiates Freedom Power from other companies. Additionally, Freedom Power provides a lifetime transferable warranty on the solar panel installation.
No, your solar panels will not be fully operational and producing energy immediately after the installation.
Your system will need to pass all necessary inspections before we officially activate and turn on your solar panels. We’ll take care of scheduling inspections, and update you via the project tracker in your myFreedom account.
The finish line of solar is called PTO, or Permission to Operate from your utility company. Once we pass all system inspections, we will update the project tracker, so you will be able to access your Permission to Operate letter, and enjoy the benefits of going solar.
We'll send you an email to let you know the estimated arrival time of the crew for your installation If there are any locked gates that would restrict access to areas we need to work, we ask that these be left unlocked (if possible) if you will not be home. If there are any gate codes (to access your community, for instance), please share those with us before the installation start date by updating your myFreedom account.
Please ensure that your pets are secured for the duration of the work anytime our employees are onsite. If we arrive at your house and see that there is an unsecured animal in the work area, we will knock on the door and ask you to put your animal away. If you are not home and a pet is loose in the work area, we will attempt to contact you but will not enter. If we cannot complete our scheduled work due to a loose pet, you may be charged a $250 trip fee. This policy keeps our employees and your pets safe.
Texas ownership, superior products, best warranty, outstanding customer service, and the most experience. But don't take it from us - see what our customers have to say. We're proud to be rated the #1 solar contractor in Texas.
The final step of the process is the Launch Meeting, which will be scheduled with our Customer Care team. You’ll receive an email with a scheduling link and final documentation about your system, called a Launch Packet. This packet contains your system design, product, and warranty information, final payment receipt, and contact info for our teams should you need service in the future.
The installation itself typically takes 1-3 days, but there are various steps and different parties involved that go into powering your home with solar. Rest assured, we work to make the process go as fast as possible. On average, customers can expect it to take a total of 3-6 months from signing the contract to the system powering their home. This timeline is typical for the solar industry due to increased demand for home solar. Along with a site assessment of your home to get a custom design, there are additional permitting and approval steps with the city and utility.

Depending on the steps required by your utility and local jurisdiction, a site inspection may be required. After those bureaucratic hurdles are complete, we will provide instructions about how to energize your system.
While you don't need to be home for the entire installation appointment, we will need an adult present to let our team into the attic space or grant us any other necessary access to your property. Many customers who can’t be home arrange for us to have access by leaving the garage door open or providing a key to a neighbor who can let us in. Having someone on-site for at least the start of your appointment allows our technicians to work more efficiently and ensures we can complete your installation correctly. If there is any conduit to be run inside your attic, garage, or other location where the conduit will be run. Likewise, if any equipment (such as the solar inverter(s) or a battery backup) is to be mounted inside (such as a garage), we will need access to that space. Otherwise, you are not required to be present during the installation.
We can arrange for our crew lead to meet with you on site on the first day of the installation to go over proposed conduit runs and equipment locations.
Our scheduling team will contact you to confirm your installation schedule and who will be on-site at your home.
Solar is just the start. Pair it with a backup battery or generator and you’re protected from outages while maximizing every kilowatt your panels produce. That’s real freedom.
