It’s a question most homeowners never think to ask, until they have to.
You made the investment. You signed the paperwork. The panels went up, and for a while, everything was great. Then one day you notice something’s off with your production, or a component needs replacing, and you call your installer. Except the number is disconnected. The website is down. And the company you trusted with your home’s energy system simply doesn’t exist anymore.
This is not a hypothetical. It’s happening right now across Texas, and the ripple effects of recent solar industry shifts have made this problem far more common than it should be. At Good Faith Energy, we’ve been serving Texas homeowners since 2014, and protecting your investment for the long run is exactly what our Guardian Plan was built for.
Solar Tax Credit Update: Still Strong in 2026
The 30% federal ITC covers owned solar systems through at least 2032.[web:8] Leases/PPAs pass business credits as lower payments, keeping solar affordable amid rising Texas electricity rates.
This hit home in Texas during 2025, when high interest rates and supply issues took down smaller installers like SunPower and others in the 2025 Texas shakeout. Hundreds of orphaned systems later, homeowners learned the hard way.
But here is the part that really matters: your panels are designed to last 25 to 30 years. Whatever option you choose, you need a provider who will still be answering the phone in year 12 or year 20. Vetting your installer for long-term stability is just as important as comparing quotes. That’s where Good Faith Energy stands apart.
Good Faith Energy: Your Partner for Decades of Reliable Solar Service
We have been in business since 2014, which in the solar world is long enough to have seen companies come and go. We are still here because we build relationships, not just rooftop systems.
Every installation we complete is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty, because we know that a solar panel is only as reliable as the roof it sits on. That kind of coverage is our way of saying we stand behind what we build.
We also service solar systems that were installed by other companies. If you’re sitting on an orphaned system right now, with panels on your roof and no support in sight, we can help. Our team is trained and equipped to evaluate, repair, and maintain systems across all major brands.
One of the things we’re most proud of is our automated monthly solar production reports. Instead of waiting for something to feel wrong, you get a clear picture of how your system is performing every single month. It’s a simple tool that catches inverter issues, shading problems, and output drops before they cost you real money.
The proof is in the results. Our five-star reviews come from homeowners who experienced exactly what great solar service feels like, responsive, knowledgeable, and honest.
Introducing the Guardian Plan: Affordable Protection for Your Solar Investment
Think of the Guardian Plan as your solar system’s extended protection plan, the kind of coverage that makes sure a small issue never becomes a big, expensive problem.
We designed it with flexibility in mind, because not every system is the same size and not every homeowner has the same needs.
Tier 1 covers the essentials. It’s a great starting point for smaller systems and gives you access to our team and priority scheduling.
Tier 2 is built for systems that include battery storage or other components. At $500 per year, it includes discounted service visits at just $100 each, which is a significant savings over standard rates. It also covers SPAN smart electrical panels and EV chargers, two additions that are becoming a lot more common in Texas homes.
Tier 3 is our most comprehensive option, designed for larger systems. At $650 per year, the savings start to add up fast, with an annual value of over $440 compared to paying for service visits individually.
Across all tiers, you get:
- Affordable solar repairs with up to four hours of labor covered per visit
- Priority scheduling so you’re not waiting weeks for a tech
- Coverage for SPAN panels and EV chargers
- Proactive monthly production reports sent automatically
- A pay-as-you-go option if you prefer flexibility over an annual commitment
Getting enrolled is straightforward. We schedule a site visit, evaluate your system, and help you pick the tier that makes the most sense. From there, your coverage starts and you have a team in your corner.
Practical Tips to Maximize Your Solar System’s Lifespan
Even the best solar system needs a little attention over time. Here are a few simple habits that make a real difference.
First, enroll in an annual maintenance plan. A Guardian Plan check each year catches wear and performance issues before they compound. Think of it like an oil change for your car, you wouldn’t skip it.
Second, pay attention to your inverter. It’s the part of your system that converts solar energy into usable power, and it’s often the first component to show signs of stress. If your monthly production report shows a sudden dip with no weather explanation, your inverter is usually the first place we look.
Third, don’t overlook your roof. Adding roof leak warranty coverage gives you a safety net that most homeowners don’t think about until water is coming through the ceiling. Your panels should protect your home’s value, not complicate it.
