Customer Testimonial

Finding a company to create a solar solution for your home or business can be quite a challenge. I know because I went through five companies – all calling themselves “experts” – and they were not. One of the hallmarks of an expert in a technical field like solar energy is integrity. As an engineer with 50 years of experience in creating technical solutions, I am good at getting to the bottom line for an engineered solution.

I am writing to hopefully save you time and energy in making your solar decision – you want to work with this team. Their professionalism, from initial contact to an engineered design and, finally, attention to detail in the installation, was amazing. I highly recommend Fortress Microgrid. If you want to make your solar experience the best it can be, get in touch with this company.

Solar Power Generators for Austin, TX Energy Independence

Sky-high utility costs and undependable Austin grids have many Texans turning to solar energy and backup generators for their homes and businesses. Poor infrastructure, overloaded grids, and severe weather can cause power outages that interfere with your daily life and well-being.

Utilizing a generator for backup energy at your Austin home is an excellent way to become more independent from the local grid. When combined with a solar energy system and battery storage, a generator can ensure your investments and home can be protected, regardless of grid instability.

Backup Generators: How Do They Work in Austin, Texas?

Generators work by turning different fuel types into usable electricity. Your generator can be connected to your home’s solar panels and battery, keeping your essential electronics and appliances powered when there's a grid failure in Austin. Regardless of whether your home is fully connected to your local grid, is supplemented by solar, or is already energy-independent and off-grid, a generator can be a great secondary backup.

Why Does My Family Need a Solar Home Backup Generator in Austin, TX?

Picture this: a devastating storm whips through Austin, knocking the local grid offline for hours or even days. How would that affect your family or business? It could impact the operations at your ranch, knocking out the heat that keeps your livestock or horses safe in your barn. It could mean that your deep freezer full of game meat that you earned for your family goes bad. It could disrupt your brewery’s storage facilities, causing valuable product to be lost.

Your backup generator can help prevent these costly and dangerous scenarios in Austin, allowing for energy independence during grid failures. A generator can be added to the solar setup you already have, or we can design a unique microgrid solution with generators, batteries, and solar panels. If the sun isn't out or the local grid is offline, you can rely on your secondary generator to power vital electronics, protect your investments, and help your family remain comfortable.
