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.

The Benefits of Solar Energy Solutions in 77520

Over the past 23 years, Texas has had 264 power outages, which is more than any other state. Most of these outages can be tied back to the weather. Everything from ice storms and high-category hurricanes to strong winds and thunderstorms can knock out your electricity for days and weeks. These Baytown, TX blackouts can threaten your safety and the security of your investments.

A bespoke solar microgrid system from Fortress Microgrid can provide you the energy independence needed to ensure your Baytown building remains powered. When the Texas grid goes out, you won't need to worry about your cigar collection being ruined or risking the comfort and safety of your exotic animals. A microgrid features solar panels, energy storage, and generators, so you can have peace of mind that you have the energy autonomy to stay powered.

Beyond energy independence, solar has the benefit of utility savings. When you use a microgrid system to generate and store your own energy, you can greatly decrease your usage of grid-supplied electricity. You’ll notice a reduction in your Texas utility bills.

Installing a solar microgrid in Baytown can further help you save on utility costs with peak load shaving. Peak load, or peak demand, is when the electric grid experiences the highest demand for power. If you use grid electricity during this time, you are charged more for it. Peak load shaving allows you to use solar energy to decrease or offset your grid electricity usage during peak times. Not only can peak load shaving reduce your utility costs, but it also supports grid stability by lowering grid strain during high-demand times.

What Makes a Microgrid Different from Standard Baytown, TX Solar Systems?

An off-the-shelf solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your 77520 home to provide some power and energy savings, but power outages will still impact you. Most standard solar panel systems only have panels with no battery for storing energy, meaning they still rely on the electricity grid to power your building. When a tree falls onto a power line or a heavy storm causes a blackout, your home will experience a power failure along with the grid despite your panels.

A solar microgrid features solar panels, a battery for energy storage, and a backup power generator so you don't have to depend on the Baytown grid. While microgrids can connect to the main grid, they can also run off it, which standard solar panels are unable to do. Your microgrid can collect, store, and generate electricity, allowing you to maintain autonomy during a power outage.
