West Texas Solar

West Texas Solar handles solar panel work out of their spot at 4074 E Overland Trail in Abilene. They put in residential and commercial systems across West Texas, including setups with batteries and generators, plus ongoing maintenance. Jacob meets with customers to lay out the options and costs. Tim leads the crews as the master electrician and handles the wiring and app setup. Eugene takes care of the paperwork and keeps the numbers straight.

Homeowners call them for full system installs, some on carports instead of roofs. Others need panels pulled for roof replacement then put back, or extra panels added later. Maintenance jobs come up on older systems from other outfits that folded. Bills drop from hundreds a month down to under 40 dollars in many cases. Systems kept power on during storms when the grid went out for thousands of others. One crew fixed a problem the same day it was called in.

They answer calls fast and show up on time, even driving a couple hours out to places like Johnson County. Communication stays direct through the whole job and after, with follow up on plans and buyback programs. Pricing comes out honest with no push to buy more than needed. Crews stay polite, explain the steps, and clean up when done. The company stays local and takes on work other installers turned away.

Reviews give them a 4.8 rating and point to steady performance years later, quick fixes, and clear explanations from the team. Customers note the local crews keep things running without extra hassle.

“The team from West Texas Solar was outstanding. Jacob was excellent in explaining the different products and the cost up front. His knowledge was reassuring. He explained the different pricing and which would save me money and meet my needs. The crew that came to install was great. They were both professional, and personable. All of the guys were so polite and took time to explain the process. Tim who is the lead and master electrician. He took the time to mentor those on his crew his heart was in his teaching. He spent teaching me on how to use the app and he would quickly got back to me when I texted him. Eugene who sends out the paperwork was on the mark the price we talked and agreed on was the price it was. I enjoyed the whole process. I would recommend Tim and his crew and Eugene and Jacob”

“We’ve had our solar panels for several years and they have performed just as they had told us they would. I found them to be very reliable. We just had a concern and after we called them they were right out here and fixed it that day. I would recommend them highly!. Also, we’ve enjoyed working with Jacob.”

“I began my journey in to solar in 2020 with my friends at West Texas Solar. They gave me facts, not sales pitches, that helped me make a solid investment. The team at West Texas Solar was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to answer all of my questions and guided me through every step of the process. What stood out to me the most was their commitment to communication. They kept me informed throughout the entire installation, and their follow-up has been exceptional. I send friends their way because I know they’ll be treated well. If you're considering solar energy, I highly recommend West Texas Solar. Their expertise, local presence, and dedication to excellent service make them a standout choice!”

“The system they've installed has been great. My electric bill went from 350 - 550 to 20. My most recent bill has been the highest at 36 dollars and that's only because the delivery fee was over 50. A recent storm knocked out power for over 25,000 aep customers but we still had power which was great (would've been better if the internet wasn't also down)”

“There are no words to describe gratitude On how members of this company gave the BEST and most HONEST service that you can think overall I contacted 7 companies and every single onE that was recommended by Solar Edge it happened to be shame-lessly very dishonest thank you West rexas solar and EUGENE. for such a excellent job I recomend 100% this company Guarantee you will be.happy you did”

“West Texas Solar had installed our Solar Panels a few years ago. Now, as we needed our roof replaced, they came out to remove the panels. After the roof was installed they were quick to reinstall them. We decided to add a few more panels and talked to Jacob. He was great to work with, answered all our questions, and helped us decide what we needed. There was no pressure to purchase anything more than what we wanted. He and his crew did a great job of installing and setting everything up. Communication was in a timely manner. We recommend this local business for any solar installation/work you might need.”

“I had them install an 8.2 kW solar system plus 2 14.3 kWh batteries on a carport they had installed for me. I didn't want panels on my roof, so this was a good way to go for me. The system has been up and running for a couple of weeks and is working great. I'm using virtually no electricity from the grid that I'm paying for since I have a free nights plan. Not only has my electric use gone way down, but I'm keeping the house much cooler. I'd have done this long ago if I'd known how good it was.”

“I have had my Solar panels from West Texas Solar since 1/2023 and I could not be happier… Not only because of the power they generate but also with the service from this company, we had a couple of issues in the beginning but they were very efficient and took care of the issues and we have not had any issues since. I highly recommend them. BTW I am in Johnson County which is a couple of hrs from their local office but they didn’t hesitate to take the drive and take care of us.”

“Once the estimate was given, my job was completed as soon as I scheduled, like literally the same day! It was amazing. They were prompt and effective. Very professional. I HIGHLY recommend.”

“Folks! Look no further for a solar system. West Texas Solar is the company to select if you’re in the market to save your well-earned dollars. I was paying over $300 a month on electrical needs keeping my home cooled at 78-degrees in the summer. After the installation was completed, my monthly electrical charged dipped below $60 (normal electrical and solar fees required by my electrical provider). If I had more panels I would probably had a better buyback from the provider or should I say a better electrical provider. The installation was on two sides of my new home. It was designed so the panels would be in sunlight till sunset. It was also placed so the solar panels would be inconspicuous from the road adding yet another since of security. The batteries were setup inside my gate on a concrete slab outside the view of the road as well. My system might be a little different than most but here’s what I wanted installed: I wanted a system capable of supplying power during a power outage like an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) and use the same battery charge to cut down on grid usage at night. After the batteries were fully charged, any excess power be sent back to the electric ”

“I cannot say enough about West Texas Solar. Eugene and his team were prompt, professional & absolutely went above & beyond for me! I am truly grateful for a local company who puts the customer first!!”

“I have had my solar panels since 2021 and it is the best investment I’ve ever made!! West Texas Solar did everything to make sure I was completely satisfied. I then recommended them to my sister who had them install her solar panels. She was very pleased with their work as well.”

“Jacob Lopez with West Texas Solar has been outstanding from start to finish. Before I even purchased my system, he took the time to answer every question and thoroughly educate me so I felt confident in the decision. After the install, he continued to help with setup, guidance on energy providers, and choosing the best plan for my needs. What’s most impressive is that more than two years later, he’s still actively helping me stay on the most advantageous plan and offering power-management tips and suggestions to get the most out of my system. He’s always eager to answer questions and go the extra mile. Highly recommend West Texas Solar and especially working with Jacob.”

“Jacob and his team did a great job installing our full solar and batteries and generator. Good service, nice guys, good workers and excellent communication. Highly recommend these guys.”

“West Texas solar offers a straightforward, no-bull approach to selling and installing solar. Responsive and communicative, professional and workmanlike. Better value for your dollar than other companies out there, plus they are local. System looks great and is producing well.”

“Let me start with: I’m not an environmentalist. I approached this solely on thinking that if I could eliminate an electric bill averaging ~$500 per month as I can see retirement in the not-too-distant future, it would be as good as adding a revenue stream and take out some doubt associated with what inflating energy prices can do. And despite the way I opened the last paragraph, I also drive a Tesla. My wife drives a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid). So not only is there the possibility of eliminating my home power bill, but also powering our driving for a few hundred miles a week! Once I did enough research to see that it *might* make sense, I started asking for analysis and quotes. I received 3 local company quotes, and 2 national chain quotes. Two of the three local companies were very close – the other fairly high. One of the national chains was really cheap… until I asked for specifics. The local company that was competitive was represented by a very personable fella, and I expected to use them. Then Jacob showed up at the office to go over the proposal in person and answer any questions. This was when West Texas Solar began to separate themselves. The value in using WTS was that Jac”

“I called West Texas Solar in Abilene for a maintenance issue after my original installer filed for bankruptcy and was no longer able to help me. Given that I live about 5 hours away, he had me send pics of what I was seeing in my control boxes and even gave me proper guidance to get my problem fixed without him coming all the way from Abilene for a service call. My experience with West Texas Solar was beyond excellent. I can tell these are guys of highest integrity and quality. If I ever have other maintenance issues or other problems, they will be the first ones I call. Happy to recommend them to everyone for their Solar needs. West Texas Solar is the BEST! Thank you for helping me!”

“West Texas Solar did a fantastic job setting up our system. We converted our existing system that used two meters to just one meter. The work performed is very well done and high quality. The crews were timely and kept everything really clean. We have had our new solar system almost a year and have been really pleased with how everything has gone. I would highly recommend West Texas Solar if you are looking to install solar panels.”

“West Texas Solar has done a superior job installing and maintaining the solar panels on our roof and a home generator in our yard. They have been responsive, helpful, and professional at every step of the way. Whenever we have had questions or concerns, they have responded promptly. We are very satisfied with our purchase and appreciate how conscientious and courteous they are with customer service. They coordinate well with the power companies and provide ongoing guidance about the best solar buyback programs. We recommend them highly!”

“I think is fair to say that many solar installers give the business a "super" bad name. Not with WTS. Jacob and team provided great customer service, with the best price in town. WTS installed an Enphase 10T solar battery back up system, with no hassle, a fast install and great communication (even after the install). The installation was completed ahead of schedule, something that is very uncommon with many other installers. WTS provides great support to the military community in San Angelo. Highly recommended!”
