About Us

Solar Hardscapes is a Texas-based company with a mission to bring new, innovative, and unique renewable solar energy ideas to the energy landscape.

Our company was formed in 2019 and is ready to show the world that renewable energy doesn’t have to involve an ugly rooftop and infrastructure that steals your property’s curb appeal.

Our inaugural product, Solarstone, is the answer to all problems involving visual appeal regarding privatized solar energy generation. Join us, and move beyond the standard rooftop solar panel and into a seamless design for solar energy that blends in with the design of your patios and sidewalks.
