I live in Texas but have never looked into solar. The fight to switch to renewable energy will be a long one because of the politicians. Texas makes a shit ton of money from oil. Politicians will continue to convince citizens that renewable energy is dangerous, ill-conceived, and "woke" so that we stick to traditional resources. There's nothing stopping someone from getting solar panels, but I'd assume it would be more expensive. I don't know if there has to be prior infrastructure in place, because that would be a problem. Some people don't even have fast internet in the Houston suburbs because they don't want to lay all the wire for only 100 people.

Solar is awesome. It's so cheap now that it's a no brainer if you own a house that you're planning on staying in for any decent amount of time. It's cheaper than paying the electric company in most cases, and if you have a battery then it's more reliable as well.
