Coppell is one of the most deliberately planned communities in DFW — a city of around 40,000 residents bordered by DFW Airport, Grapevine, Irving, and Lewisville, with a housing stock of predominantly 1990s–2000s construction and one of the highest median household incomes in the region. Coppell ISD schools are consistently ranked among Texas's best, which drives strong demand for homes and keeps property values high. For solar, that combination of newer homes, high electricity bills, and strong property values creates excellent ROI numbers.
Solar Costs in Coppell TX in 2026
Coppell homes are uniformly well-built and tend to be larger than the DFW average. Most residential systems here fall in the 10–15 kW range, reflecting both larger home sizes and the above-average electricity consumption that comes with them.
| Home Size | Typical System | Installed Cost (Before Incentives) | Est. Annual Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000–2,800 sq ft | 8–10 kW | $25,000 – $32,000 | $2,000 – $2,800 |
| 2,800–3,800 sq ft | 10–13 kW | $31,000 – $40,000 | $2,600 – $3,600 |
| 3,800–5,000 sq ft | 13–16 kW | $40,000 – $50,000 | $3,400 – $4,500 |
| 5,000+ sq ft | 16 kW+ | $50,000+ | $4,200+ |
Dallas County Property Tax Savings in Coppell
Coppell is primarily in Dallas County, with a small portion in Denton County. The combined property tax rate — Dallas County, City of Coppell, and Coppell ISD — runs approximately 1.9–2.3%. Because Coppell homes command some of the highest assessed values in Dallas County, the dollar value of the Texas solar property tax exemption is significant.
On a $40,000 system at a 2.1% combined rate, that is $840 per year in avoided property taxes — $21,000 over 25 years. Zencore Solar files Form 50-123 with the Dallas County Appraisal District (DCAD) for Dallas County portions and the Denton Central Appraisal District for any Denton County portions.
