Three verified installers cover Fort Worth, led by a company headquartered in the city since 2016. The Fort Worth-specific truth: this is deregulated Texas, so going solar is a two-contract decision. Your installer builds the system, but the retail electricity plan you pick decides what your exported power is worth, because Oncor only delivers the electrons. The best proposals here price both contracts; the worst pretend the second one does not exist.
Fort Worth sits on the deregulated side of the Texas grid, which changes the arithmetic in a way quotes rarely explain. Oncor owns the wires but sells you nothing; your electricity, and the value of any solar power you send back, comes from whichever retail provider you choose, and buyback terms swing from plan to plan. That makes the honest sales pitch here a package: a fairly priced system and a named electricity plan it was modeled against. These 3 companies, every one of them Texan, cleared our checks.
Fort Worth Solar Is a Two-Contract Decision
- Contract one: the system, anchored at $2.44 per watt. Texas’s competitive installed price per the EcoGen Solar Cost Index puts a 7 kW system near $17,100 before extras. Texas adds a property tax exemption for the added home value rather than a state credit, and the federal residential credit ended for installations completed after December 31, 2025, so the sticker price is doing the heavy lifting.
- Contract two: the electricity plan behind your meter. Retail providers in Oncor territory offer solar buyback plans with terms that range from generous to token. The proposal should NAME the plan it modeled and its export rate, dated. A savings chart with no plan named was built on air.
- Oncor still runs the interconnection. Whoever you buy power from, the poles-and-wires company processes the solar connection. Ask each bidder for its recent Oncor interconnection record, because that queue is where timelines are won.
Three Installers That Fit Fort Worth
Circle L Solar
The hometown pick: headquartered on Midway Road in Fort Worth since 2016, a fully integrated sales-to-install company that works Texas and only Texas, with Enphase credentials displayed. Its licence number is not printed on its site; ask for the TECL with your quote and check it in the state lookup, the same standard we hold everyone to.
Longhorn Solar
The disclosure benchmark on this page: a Texas-only installer covering Dallas, Austin and San Antonio with its electrical licence TECL#27514 and master electrician ME-9047 printed on its own site, plus a 25-year performance and workmanship warranty. The Dallas office is a normal service drive from Fort Worth; confirm which crew crosses the metroplex for your install and for year-6 calls.
Freedom Solar Power
The scale option that still prints its paperwork: Austin-headquartered with statewide coverage, TECL 28621 and master electrician 332049 printed on its licences page. Big-operator scheduling capacity is the draw in a busy metroplex; the homework is the same as for any non-local, a named DFW crew and its recent Oncor interconnections.
How the Three Stack Up
Installer | Where the crews sit | Paperwork you can check | Make them show you |
|---|---|---|---|
Circle L Solar | Fort Worth, in the city | Enphase credentials | TECL number on request |
Longhorn Solar | Dallas, about 35 miles | TECL#27514 on its own site | The crew that crosses the metroplex |
Freedom Solar Power | Austin, statewide crews | TECL 28621 on its own site | Recent Oncor interconnections |

Frequently Asked Questions
Circle L Solar, Longhorn Solar and Freedom Solar Power make up our vetted Fort Worth network for 2026, all three Texas companies. Circle L ranks first as the hometown pick, headquartered in Fort Worth since 2016 with an in-house sales-to-install model.
Texas’s competitive installed price is $2.44 per watt before incentives, per the EcoGen Solar Cost Index, which puts a 7 kW system near $17,100. With the federal residential credit ended after 2025, compare bids on that per-watt figure plus named line items, not on monthly-payment framing.
Through your retail electricity plan, not through a state net metering rule: Fort Worth is deregulated, Oncor delivers the power, and buyback terms differ plan to plan. Pick a plan with a solar buyback you understand, and make the installer model that exact plan in the proposal.
No state tax credit: Texas offers a property tax exemption on the value solar adds to your home, some utilities and providers run their own programs, and the federal residential purchase credit ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. The system price and your plan choice carry the math.
Yes, its own site places its headquarters on Midway Road in Fort Worth and dates the company to 2016, working Texas only. Its licence number is not printed on the site, so ask for the TECL with your quote and check it in the state lookup before signing.
