Sam Sen, vice president of TXU Solutions, the solar and value-added services arm of TXU Energy, said: “We were among the first retailers to pay our residential customers for their excess solar and wind generation in 2009. Based on our years of experience and feedback from customers, we have simplified and increased our offer.”

TXU Energy’s instant rebate provides between US$2,000 and US$5,000 off the purchase price of a new TXU Solar from SunPower rooftop system. Customers that buy the solar system may also by eligible for federal tax credits.
