KNOW THE FAQs                                                             

How much electricity will a solar system produce?

According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s “PVWatts” tool, a typical south-facing solar system in North Texas with full sun exposure (no shading) will produce approximately 1,533 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year for every 1 kilowatt (kW) of system capacity. West and east-facing systems will produce about 15 percent to 20 percent less. North-facing systems will produce over 40 percent less and therefore are not eligible for the CoServ solar rebate.

Can I go off the grid with solar panels?

No. The solar system requires grid power to operate properly. In addition, this ensures you have power when the sun is not shining.

Will I still get a CoServ electric bill after my solar system is installed?

Yes, Members will still receive a CoServ bill for a portion of their electricity usage because, in most cases, their solar system will not produce enough power to offset the home’s entire electric consumption.  At a minimum, Members will be charged CoServ’s $10 monthly customer charge and the additional $10 monthly distributed generation (DG) fee. In addition, Members will be charged for any energy consumed that is not offset by power produced by the solar system.

Can I go solar without purchasing a new solar system?

Yes. CoServ owns and operates the CoServ Solar Station, a 2 megawatt (2 MW) solar farm near Krugerville, Texas, and residential Members can purchase blocks of electricity produced by this facility. Please click here for details.
