It’s solar made simple

Your plan stays the same

When you Make It Solar, nothing changes about your electricity plan or the way power gets to your home. No rooftop panels or devices are needed. The electricity you use supports the development of sustainable solar energy projects in Texas and across the nation.

We help you do your part

Through the Make It Solar program, Reliant will match 25%, 50% or 100% of your electricity use with solar renewable energy certificates (RECs).1 These RECs signify the renewable energy generated and sent to the electric grid to offset your energy usage. Choose to Make it Solar with any of the three percentage options and do your part in a way that fits your lifestyle and budget. 

Day or night, rain or shine, it’s always sunny

Since you’re still receiving power as you always have, the weather or time of day makes no difference. You’re still supporting solar 24/7, cloudy or clear. And with Make It Solar, the forecast calls for a cleaner, brighter future.

Zero long-term commitment

These days, we understand that things are always changing. So, if for any reason, you’d like to end your participation in the Make It Solar program, you can leave at any time without penalty.2

Your impact is easy to see

When you Make It Solar, it’s simple to keep tabs on the important difference you’re making. Log in to your online Reliant account and see how you help reduce carbon emissions — per week, per month and since you joined the program.

1 Qualifying Plans do not include electricity plans with renewable content greater than the statewide average for renewable content (content information is available in the plan’s Electricity Facts Label).

2 Your participation in the Make It Solar program will end at the same time as your participation in the qualifying electricity plan through which you were enrolled in the Make It Solar program ends or until your retail electric service with Reliant is discontinued. Enrollment in the Make It Solar program will continue if you move from one qualifying plan to another without a discontinuation of electric service by Reliant. You may cancel your participation in the Make It Solar program at any time without penalty by calling 1-866-222-7100. Cancellation will be processed by the next business day and will be effective at the end of your then-current program month. Changes will be reflected on your Reliant bill in up to two billing cycles.

Customers must have a meter installed and configured by their TDSP that measures the inflow and outflow of electricity to and from their homes. See Electricity Facts Label or contact Reliant for details on solar production credit amount. Credit value differs from the per kWh energy rate we charge for the electricity plan. It may take up to 3 billing cycles after receiving Permission to Operate (PTO) from your utility to begin receiving credits
