Austin's Solar Roofing Specialists

Most solar companies bolt panels onto whatever roof you have. Most roofers don't understand solar at all. Helios does both — we're licensed roofers and solar installers, so your roof and your power system are designed as one. That means no leaks around the mounts, no finger-pointing between contractors, and a roof that generates power for decades.

  • Licensed roofers AND solar installers
  • Solar and roof designed as one system
  • We capture every credit & rebate
  • Real savings numbers, not hype

Solar That Looks Like a Roof

Nobody wants bolt-on panels ruining the look of their home. Solar-shingle roofing integrates the power generation into the roof itself — from the street it reads as a clean architectural roof, but every day it's quietly cutting your electric bill. It's the roof upgrade that pays for part of itself, looks the part, and future-proofs your home.

  • Solar built into the shingles, not bolted on
  • Reads as a normal architectural roof
  • Generates power and cuts your bill daily
  • Boosts home value and future-proofs it

Marcus Bell
Helios replaced our failing roof with a solar-shingle roof, so instead of paying for a roof AND panels, we got both in one clean install. The 30% federal credit made the math work, and our summer electric bills in the Austin heat dropped by more than half. Genuinely smart.
Priya Nair
We wanted solar but hated the look of bolt-on panels. Helios installed a solar roof that looks like a normal architectural roof — you'd never know it's generating power. Add the battery and we barely notice outages anymore. Beautiful and practical.
Dana Cole
Honest from the first assessment. Helios showed us the real numbers, the credits, and the payback period instead of overpromising. The install was clean, on schedule, and the monitoring app shows exactly what we're producing. Couldn't be happier.
Questions

Solar Roofing FAQs

What's the difference between solar shingles and solar panels?

Solar shingles build the power generation into the roof itself, so it looks like a normal architectural roof. Traditional panels are mounted on top of an existing roof. Shingles look better and integrate seamlessly; panels are more cost-effective per watt. We install both and help you choose.

Does a solar roof really save money in Austin?

Yes — Austin's brutal summers mean high cooling bills and lots of sun to offset them. Most of our homeowners cut their electric bill significantly, and the 30% federal tax credit plus local rebates dramatically shorten the payback period. We'll show you the real numbers for your home first.

Why replace my roof and add solar at the same time?

Because doing both at once saves money and headaches. You pay for one install and one crew, avoid removing and re-setting panels later when the roof fails, and get a single warranty covering the whole system. If your roof is aging, it's the smart time to go solar.

What about the federal tax credit?

The federal solar tax credit currently covers 30% of your system cost. We handle the documentation so you capture every dollar you're entitled to, plus any local Austin-area rebates and incentives.

Can I add battery backup?

Absolutely. Battery storage lets you use your solar power at night and keeps your home running through outages and Texas grid strain. We'll size a battery to your usage and priorities.
