Zapata Solar

The Premier Greenfield Solar Developer


Our Mission

The electric utility market in Texas is undergoing a period of rapid change, with continued improvement in solar PV technology and the declining costs of solar energy changing the competitive landscape.

New approaches to developing larger scale solar generating projects  promise to create economic benefits for rural counties, new opportunities for large landowners and expanded access to inexpensive, clean electricity for large energy users.

About Us

Zapata Solar is an innovative Texas-based solar development firm, with offices in both Houston and Boston, founded by energy and technology industry veterans, who are creating new approaches to the utility scale solar business.

Zapata develops higher-value utility-scale solar projects (100MWac and larger) by focusing on select locations throughout the continental US where good transmission access coincides with strong electricity market fundamentals to create highly competitive generating assets. The management team brings with it over 30 years experience in wind, solar, oil and gas, and technology development.

Our first project in Texas is a 145MW solar photovoltaic generating facility under development in the flatlands of Liberty County, about 40 minutes east of Houston. Zapata is expanding our footprint throughout Texas and surrounding states. If you are a land owner interested in exploring solar for your property please fill out the contact us form below.
