The Premier Solar & Battery Energy Storage Solution Provider of Texas
Why Choose NATiVE
Choosing a solar and battery storage partner is a long-term decision — the installer matters as much as the equipment. NATiVE Solar has designed, installed, and serviced solar and battery storage systems across Texas since 2007, with our own in-house engineering, installation, and service teams handling projects from initial design through years of operation. Here’s what that approach looks like in practice, for both commercial and residential property owners.
Our Story
NATiVE Solar traces back to 2007 in the Texas Hill Country, where the company started as Hill Country EcoBuilders (HCEB) — a net-zero home builder focused on sustainable design, rainwater harvesting, and early solar and wind installations. In 2009, HCEB spun off Hill Country EcoPower to focus specifically on renewable energy systems for Central Texas.
The two companies merged in 2012 under a new name: NATiVE. Over the following years, the company grew from a Hill Country builder into a statewide solar installer, adding offices in Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas–Fort Worth. In 2018, the solar division rebranded as NATiVE Solar to reflect its focus, and the team has since expanded to serve the Houston / Gulf Coast region as well.
Today, NATiVE Solar’s team brings years of combined experience across thousands of solar and battery energy storage projects in Texas and beyond — spanning commercial, industrial, and residential systems. A significant share of our project volume comes from referrals: repeat customers, and other solar companies that bring us projects they consider too complex to handle themselves.
What We Offer :
Commercial & Industrial Solar + Storage
NATiVE Solar approaches C&I projects as systems engineering challenges, not commodity installations. We work with municipalities, healthcare facilities, manufacturers, retail properties, and other high-electricity-cost or mission-critical facilities to design solar and battery energy storage systems that support demand charge mitigation and energy resilience. Eligibility for specific incentives varies by project, utility, and current policy — our team walks through what applies to your site during a commercial solar consultation.
Residential Solar & Battery Backup
For homeowners, custom builders, and architects, we handle everything from initial site assessment through financing options, system design, and long-term monitoring. Our focus is durable, well-integrated systems designed for long-term performance -not the lowest-cost install on the block.
Battery Energy Storage (BESS)
We design grid-tied and off-grid battery energy storage solutions depending on what a property actually needs -backup power during outages, load shifting, or a standalone off-grid source. NATiVE Solar is brand-agnostic on equipment: panels, batteries, and inverters are selected based on your project’s requirements and budget, not a single manufacturer relationship or brand-drivenn agenda.
Service, Warranty & Long-Term Support
NATiVE Solar designs, deploys, and maintains integrated, best-in-class solar+battery storage infrastructure -even when we didn’t install it. We stand behind our work with strong workmanship warranties and long-term O&M contracts backed by solid manufacturer warranties. If something needs attention, our service and support team stands ready to restore the system to expected operational function.

- Statewide presence, with teams covering Austin / Hill Country, DFW, San Antonio, and Houston / Gulf Coast.
This is the most comprehensive information I have ever read. The totality and quality is remarkable and I hope others, who may be considering solar power, to act on the opportunity to make the decision for themselves and the environment. Thank you nativesolar!!
