How to Claim CenterPoint Energy Solar Rebates & Interconnection Rules

Like Oncor, CenterPoint is the "poles and wires" company for Houston, not your retail provider. When you install solar panels, CenterPoint requires strict adherence to their Interconnection Standards. To receive credit for the energy your system pushes back onto the grid, you must pair your system with a Retail Electric Provider (REP) that offers a solar buyback or net metering plan. Our team will guide you toward the REPs offering the highest buyback rates in the CenterPoint territory.

CenterPoint frequently runs programs incentivizing grid-tied solar and battery storage systems, but the paperwork is notoriously complex. Homeowners cannot submit these applications themselves; they require a registered solar contractor. SunBeam Innovations ensures your system qualifies for any active CenterPoint incentive tiers before the funding is exhausted.

We handle the entire CenterPoint bureaucracy for you. From submitting the initial Distributed Generation (DG) application to installing the required dual-directional smart meter, our team guarantees your system is compliant, safe, and pushed through the CenterPoint queue as quickly as possible so you can start generating power.
