180 Solar & Electric Ltd

180 Solar & Electric Ltd works out of Austin as licensed electricians who handle solar jobs across the region. They carry NABCEP certification and focus on putting up panels, running the wiring, and adding battery storage so homes stay powered during outages. Texas summers push heavy AC loads while storms knock lines down, and these crews build setups that cut grid dependence without overcomplicating the install. They serve residential customers who want lower bills and a system that holds up in local weather.

Their work covers full residential solar installs, panel cleaning and repairs, plus on and off grid battery backups. JB and his crew handled a complete roof and solar project with strong results on the structure and connections. Jonathan B led another install from first visit through final testing, walking the owner through panel choices and layout. Kevin Putnam met with one customer, laid out costs plainly, and made sure the family stayed updated until the system went live. Crews schedule the work, run the lines, test every connection, and handle grid paperwork so the job finishes without loose ends.

Homeowners keep pointing to clear updates at every step, solid workmanship that passes inspection, and crews who show up ready and finish on time. Reviews note professional testing before the team leaves, direct answers on equipment, and no runaround on scheduling or follow up. That steady record on speed, quality, and straight talk built the rating. DIRT Score 5 from 64 reviews on Finds.

“The overall process felt well-managed from beginning to end. They scheduled everything properly and kept me updated at each stage. Installation was handled professionally, and they made sure everything was properly tested before leaving. There was a slight delay in grid approval, but they took care of the process. After a few billing cycles, I’ve already noticed a noticeable drop in electricity costs. It’s not an instant change, but the gradual savings are clearly visible now.”

“JB and his team did an absolutely amazing job with my roof and solar project. Communication, service and workmanship were OUTSTANDING. Highly recommend - 10 out of 10!”

“I recently had solar panels installed by Jonathan B, and I am absolutely thrilled with the entire experience! From the initial consultation to the installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He took the time to explain the benefits of solar energy, helped me choose the best system for my home, and made the whole process seamless. The installation was quick, and the team cleaned up after themselves, leaving no mess behind. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone considering solar energy – he makes the whole process easy and worthwhile!”

“Jonathan went above and beyond to make sure my solar power panels were the best and personally came to my home when the installation was taking place to make sure no mistakes, questions, or any problems that may arrive were left unanswered or unattended . His willingness, dedication and satisfaction to get an excellent job done was very impressive and moreover no to leave without making sure that I was worry free and satisfied with all included in my installation and solar power, I really would recommend Jonathan with my eye close to anyone that prefers an outstanding job. Thank you so much for your guidance, support and assurance in my solar project. Jose”
