Conscientious and Valuable
The team, from Cal, who did the site inspection, to the designers and installers did an excellent job in getting me a well sized system for a better price than I expected. In fact, I got twice the battery capacity of other estimates for a lower bid. It was great. I would highly recommend EasTex Solar.

Great Company!
I spent several months researching solar companies and I will be the first to say there is a ton of misinformation out there. Thank goodness there are people like Cal and his crew. After months of talking to sleazy salesmen, who were only out to maximize their own profits, speaking with Cal was a breath of fresh air. He and his son Reese were down to earth. They weren't trying to "sell" me. They answered my questions honestly, and even made recommendations that made sense. I already had done my research and knew what size system I wanted, but they were able to tweak things to maximize production. His team installed my system a year ago. Once all the permits got approved, they were quick and efficient. My system was done in less than a day, and up and running only a couple days later. Cal and his team handled all the red tape and approvals. One year later, my system has outperformed my expectations and I have saved nearly $1,200 in electricity costs already. With energy prices going up, I'm sure it will pay for itself much faster than I estimated too. If you are considering solar, give Cal and Reese a call. They aren't going to try to upsell you or twist your arm. They will give you good information and let you make an informed decision. i highly recommend them.

Solar from Eastex Solar
In October 2021, my solar was turned on and I started to produce electricity. From the beginning, I was very happy with my decision to get solar installed. With my first bill from Navarro County Electric Coop after the installation, my charge for electricity was $0. My system had produced more power than I consumed even though it had not been operating for the whole billing period. Since then, I have been very satisfied with my solar system. There were two months during the winter when it was cloudy most days and I did not quite produce enough power to have $0 electricity charge but I saved over $100 each of these months. If my system only saves me $100 per month, I will pay for my system in 12 years. The $100 per month is a very conservative estimate since as the days grow longer and days with clouds and rain grow fewer, I will save much more than $100 per month. I was especially pleased when I filed my taxes and got my refund which included almost $6,000 from the solar tax credit. I am very pleased with EasTex Solar and Cal Morton. I would recommend them to anyone considering solar power.

Incredible Job on install, 6-month review
Wow was I impressed with Eastex Solar's quality of work. Reece and Cal are the face of the company. Both made my experience one worth talking about. Reece did the daily correspondence, answering all my questions and concerns. Cal the owner ensured all aspects of the install were done to my satisfaction. Austin (the main electrician) was who I saw most. His attention to detail and professionalism were first rate. We had two separate 12k systems installed on our property (two meters). We went with two Sol-Ark 12k inverters, two Fortress 18.5k batteries and 64 ground mounted REC 370AA Black panels. Each meter had 1 Sol-Ark, 1 Fortress Battery and 32 panels... To date no issues at any level. Our current utility bills are a +17 on the shop and a -20 on the house. Wow last year it was 300 ish. So all thing being equal it cost us - 3 dollars to run our house hold. If your thinking of putting in a Solar system don't wait. Everyday you see sun in the sky, its dollars out of your pocket. Very satisfied customer Wylie Texas.

Pleasant process
When we made some additions to our property with a pool and other outlying structures, we found our electricity bill soaring. We quickly decided to research the solar option as a way to reduce that monthly electric bill. When we saw the tax credit had been extended we got the ball rolling. We chose EasTex Solar because of the personal, "local" service we received with this company. Choosing a business from east Texas was important to us. Cal came out and accessed our needs and gave us some recommendations, but ultimately left the decision up to us without any sales pressure at all. Very easy to talk to. Our panels were installed within the proposed time and we begin producing energy. I love to watch the app on my phone showing me how much energy I'm selling back to the energy company. Our first full month on solar reduced our bill from $288 to $28. What? Yes just $28. We basically have replaced our utility bill with a monthly payment on solar. It's like going from renting to owning. Plus we got the tax credit which was huge but you need to hurry making a decision as the tax credit reduces every year and will eventually go away. Going solar just made so much sense and we are very happy. Not only are we being more environmentally responsible but we are saving money. That's a Win Win in my book.

Installation Overview
I recently had EasTex Solar install 40 panels on the roof of my shop. I had contacted several other solar panel installers, got quotes and spoke to them personally. I found EasTex Solar to be honest, they explained the pros and cons of a system and their price was right where I needed it to be. The installation went flawless and the crew cleaned up before they left. I have had many a bad experience with contractors over the years. It was a pleasure finding one that did what the contract specified. They even put a binder together with all of the forms, agreements and product information. This was completely unexpected but greatly appreciated. I give them 5 out of 5 stars! Thanks Cal and Reece for all of your attention to detail.

AMAZING
Eastex Solar, Reece, and the owner Cal know what they're talking about and doing when it comes to going solar! They gave me a great quote, followed through on what they said, and handled every little detail with professionalism. I researched for over 10 years, and this year I decided to get quotes again because I had heard prices came down again, well it finally made sense. I received 7 quotes, and Eastex solar had the best balance of price, quality, and warranty.

5 stars all around!
Eastex Solar provided me the best quote, answered all of my presales questions and made the presales process a great experience. After signing the contract, they took care of all the permits, submitted the paperwork for additional the rebate my electric provider and had the system installed and approved in a few weeks. Everything went so good, I recommended them to my parents and their solar system is being installed by Eastex in the coming weeks.

Transparent throughout the entire process!Great family business!
Reece and Cal proved to be my solar saviors after almost signing a 25 year loan for an extremely overpriced system! These guys will not sell you more then you need, and were always clear and honest about expectations. It was great dealing with folks with hands on experience, and not a sales rep in a suit pitching their sales spiel. Cal is extremely knowledgeable, and his older son Reece showed up at my house himself to lead the crew. A true family business. Eastex Solar are the real DEAL!
