Frequently Asked
Questions
Is Houston TX a good place to work in solar sales?
Yes. Houston combines high electricity bills ($210/month average), strong population growth (2.2% annually), and no state income tax -- making it one of the most attractive solar sales territories in the country for rep income and homeowner close rates.
How saturated is the solar market in Houston TX?
Houston remains significantly undersaturated in residential solar. Texas as a whole has a lower solar adoption rate than California, Arizona, or Florida despite higher average electricity bills. This means Houston reps are still in the early-mover phase of the market cycle.
