Making solar accessible for all

Two individuals work on a solar panel design, with one drawing diagrams on the other's laptop, surrounded by papers and a small model house.

Most solar quotes are vague, confusing, and designed to sell, not inform. In this blog, we break down how Atma Energy’s interactive, engineer-built proposals give homeowners complete clarity, control, and confidence before they sign.

People collaborate at a table, discussing a tablet with charts and graphs, while one gestures and another holds a pen.

Solar shouldn’t be sold like a timeshare. In this post, we show how Atma Energy’s low-pressure, high-integrity approach puts homeowners in control, offering a clear alternative to the tactics exposed in In Broad Daylight.

Transparency isn’t just a value—it’s our starting point. In this post, we show how Atma Energy’s public solar design tool makes going solar clear, honest, and refreshingly simple, especially in an industry where confusion too often reigns.

Some solar problems aren’t visible until the system stops working. In this second post of our series, we uncover what happens when homeowners are left with unsafe wiring, misconfigured systems, and no support from the original installer. Through one repair case, we show how deep the issues can go and why proper engineering, code-compliant installation, and attention to detail matter from the beginning.

When the San Antonio Express-News published its investigation In Broad Daylight, it confirmed something Texans have been saying for years — residential solar isn’t always what it claims to be. Systems are installed poorly. Roofs leak. Sales reps make promises they can’t back up. And far too often, when something goes wrong, no one picks up the phone. We meet those customers every week.

At Atma Energy, every day is Earth Day—but April 22 is a special moment to reflect on the impact of our energy choices. Going solar goes far beyond trimming electric bills or adding backup power; it’s a tangible step toward shrinking our footprint and shaping a cleaner, more resilient future—for our households, our neighborhoods, and the planet we share.
