What solar projects are being built in Texas?
Texas leads the United States in new solar generation, and that build-out shows up in the construction record as solar manufacturing plants, operations-and-maintenance (O&M) buildings and project facilities. Zabalist tracks 188 solar and clean-energy facility filings across 46 counties — a combined $820M in estimated value — including solar-panel manufacturers like Canadian Solar, Mission Solar and Toyo Solar. Each project below links to its verified permit record, drawn from Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) public filings.
This page covers solar facility and manufacturing construction; the utility-scale panel arrays themselves are permitted through separate energy and county processes.

Why is solar growing so fast in Texas?
Texas has the most solar capacity of any U.S. state, driven by abundant sunshine, cheap land, a deregulated ERCOT market and federal clean-energy incentives that have also drawn panel manufacturers to the state. The facility footprint is visible in the permit record — Zabalist tracks 188 solar and clean-energy building filings totaling roughly $820M, from Gulf Coast manufacturing plants to O&M buildings across rural Texas.
These figures are derived from construction filings registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. See our data sources for methodology and provenance.

Texas solar construction — FAQ
What solar projects are being built in Texas?
Zabalist tracks 188 solar and clean-energy facility construction filings across 46 Texas counties, totaling roughly $820M. These include solar-panel manufacturing plants (Canadian Solar, Mission Solar, Toyo Solar, Imperial Star Solar) and operations-and-maintenance buildings serving large solar farms.
Does Texas lead the U.S. in solar?
Yes. Texas has the largest installed and pipeline solar capacity of any U.S. state, helped by abundant sunshine, low land costs, the deregulated ERCOT market, and federal clean-energy incentives that have also attracted panel manufacturing to the state.
Why are solar farms not listed individually here?
Utility-scale solar arrays are permitted through separate energy-infrastructure and county processes, not the TDLR accessibility filings Zabalist aggregates. This page covers the buildings tied to solar — manufacturing plants, O&M facilities and project offices — which do appear in the public construction record.
How can I find solar construction projects to bid on in Texas?
Each facility on Zabalist links to its full permit record with the owner, location and timeline. Electrical, concrete, excavation and mechanical subcontractors can use the verified contractor directory and the active Texas bids feed to identify solar facility work.
Is Texas solar facility construction data public record?
Yes. Solar manufacturing and facility construction in Texas is registered with the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for accessibility review, creating a public record. Zabalist aggregates these filings.
