About Texas Home Power.
Who runs this site, why the comparison is independent, and how the numbers get built.
What this site is
Texas Home Power is a small, independent comparison site for Texas homeowners deciding how to handle their electricity: stay on standard retail power, add backup, add solar, or sign up for a managed service like Base Power. The calculator models total cost over 1, 5, and 10 years using your own usage and rate.
Why "independent"
This site has no partnerships, affiliate links, or referral arrangements at launch. Nothing on the page changes based on which option you click. The numbers come from publicly available pricing tiers and transparent formulas — all documented on the methodology section of the calculator.
What we don't claim
We don't claim your bill will go down. We don't claim any brand is "the best." We don't know your roof, your shade, your usage pattern at 4 p.m. in August, or what your utility will pay for solar exports. The calculator is a starting point for a conversation with an installer or a provider — not a replacement for one.
How the numbers stay honest
Every projection on the calculator holds electricity prices flat across the 10-year window. That's a conservative choice for Base Power and solar (whose savings would likely grow as retail rates rise) and a generous one for retail and Generac. We call this out in the model-bias note so you can factor it in. Pricing assumptions are reviewed quarterly and the last review date is published alongside every number.
