Solar CenTex LLC

Solar CenTex LLC is a veteran-owned Texas-based company specializing exclusively in the design, installation, and monitoring of high-quality solar power systems for residential homes, small businesses, ranches, and farms across Central Texas. Founded in 2012 by Howard “Scot” Arey—a retired Army officer with extensive experience in both military leadership and the renewable energy sector—the company has established itself as a trusted local provider with deep roots in its community.
Solar CenTex distinguishes itself through its commitment to after-sale support and customer service. It was among the first installers to offer dual-axis tracker technology—previously reserved for utility-scale projects—to maximize energy production for Texas ranchers while meeting electric cooperative requirements. As a registered Texas Electrical Contractor (TECL 29755) carrying all required insurances—including those mandated by Oncor’s incentive program—Solar CenTex ensures compliance with state regulations.
The team comprises NABCEP-certified professionals who handle every aspect of project delivery without subcontracting critical work. Their offerings include rooftop installations (the preferred method when feasible), ground mounts where shading or roof conditions dictate otherwise, custom carports/pergolas that combine functionality with aesthetics, as well as battery storage options for grid resilience.
With over a decade of operation from its Harker Heights headquarters at 1901 FM 2410—and led by industry advocates active within organizations like the Texas Solar Energy Society—Solar CenTex has built a reputation for reliability, technical excellence, transparency in pricing/service scope, and strong post-installation support.
