Successful Projects Begin and End with Deep Partner Engagements

At NATiVE Solar, we focus on fostering strong partnerships grounded in trust, clear communication, and a shared commitment to delighting the Principal/Owner on every shared project. We understand the crucial importance of partnering early and aligning often along-side builders, architects, and all related trades ; this alignment is prioritized beginning in initial site planning, structural design and permitting -all the way through to inspection and commissioning.

After nearly two decades as green constructors and solar practitioners in the great state of Texas, we have seen demonstrated uncountable times how planning and communicating with project stakeholder early and often unlocks additional Owner/Principal value on solar-equipped projects. This is a natural outcome of more effective exploration of the design and technology options available which aids in timeline/staging alignment, enhanced reconstruction/rework risk mitigation, and often, more-elegantly designed and finished spaces.

Trust is fundamental to our approach. We believe in forthright and transparent communication throughout our interactions. From our initial discussions to project completion, you can expect honesty and integrity every step of the way. Our commitment to partnering for excellence has established us as a respected leader in solar design and construction – and we greatly value the enduring relationships we’ve cultivated with our partners and stakeholders.

YOUR EXPERIENCED FULL SERVICE SOLAR EPC PARTNER

NATiVE began as a net zero home builder offering sustainable designs and construction of homes. With limited solar contractors, NATiVE Solar was established to provide a quality solution for impact-driven homeowners.

The Roots
Founded in the Texas Hill Country in 2007 under the name Hill Country EcoBuilders (HCEB), the mission at the time was to build affordable zero-energy custom green homes, complete with rainwater harvesting and solar power (some even with wind power).

With the knowledge gained from building market leading, net zero energy homes with renewable energy systems, HCEB spun off Hill Country EcoPower in 2009, to focus solely on renewable energy system integrations.

The two companies grew independently until 2012, when Hill Country EcoBuilders and Hill Country EcoPower merged together under a new brand, NATiVE.
Since 2012, NATIVE has leveraged its diversity as a custom home builder and solar installer to grow into the leading solar installer in the state of Texas. With offices in Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas, NATiVE established a state-wide presence designing and installing solar PV systems for home and business owners.

In 2018, the construction side of the NATiVE business became Build NATiVE, still offering custom green building in Austin and surrounding communities. The solar side of the company grew, taking on members from other solar companies, creating NATiVE Solar.

The current solar team have the combined experience and execution history of over 1,000 solar projects totaling over 60MW of capacity in Texas and across a dozen other states.

Unrivaled skills, knowledge, and experience are applied to every NATiVE Solar system, meeting the solar energy needs of any and all Texans. The majority of projects NATiVE Solar takes each day are referrals. Referrals from happy customers. Referrals from our friends and neighbors we meet in the communities we serve. Referrals from home and business owners with systems we didn’t install but service. Referrals, even, from other solar companies when the project is too complex or difficult. Now that says something right there. NATiVE Solar is the go-to choice for all Texans’ solar energy needs.

Partnering Statement of Commitment 

“The work of building enduring and deep relationships with our trade partners doesn’t come easy. It takes a strong commitment to excellence, open and honest communication, and constant alignment – solving our shared clients’ challenges as a team. But seeing the combined results of every project after commissioning is always a sweet reminder of why we’re in this business.”
