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 75007

Texas recorded the most power outages of any state between 2000 and 2023, totaling 264 blackouts. Weather played a significant role in most of these outages. Anything from tropical and ice storms to strong winds and thunderstorms can cause power disruptions for days or weeks. Blackouts like these in Carrollton, TX can put your safety and investments at risk.

A bespoke solar microgrid system from Fortress Microgrid can provide you the energy independence required to make sure your Carrollton home or business has a steady power supply. The next time the Texas grid fails, you won't need to stress about your carefully curated wine collection going bad or risking the comfort and safety of your exotic animals. We combine solar panels with batteries for storage and generators, so you can rest easy knowing your energy autonomy will keep your power reliable.

In addition to energy independence, you can enjoy utility savings with solar. Generating and storing your own electricity means you can dramatically decrease your use of power from the grid. You’ll notice a reduction in your Texas utility bills.

Your Carrollton solar microgrid also helps with peak load shaving, which further shrinks your utility costs. Peak load, also called peak demand, refers to when the power demand on the grid is at its highest. You are charged more for the grid-supplied electricity you use during this time. Peak load shaving empowers you to turn to solar energy to reduce or shift your grid energy use during hours of peak demand. Peak load shaving doesn't just help you save on utility costs. It also promotes grid stability by lowering grid strain during high-demand times.

Carrollton, TX Solar-Powered Microgrids vs. Standard Solar Systems

A run-of-the-mill solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your 75007 home to provide some power and energy savings, but it won't do anything about power outages. Basic solar panel arrangements usually consist only of panels and have no place to store the energy collected (a battery), which means they still need the grid to power your building. When a power line is taken down by a tree branch or a winter freeze results in a blackout, your home isn't protected from the grid's failure even though you have panels.

A solar microgrid is a system that includes panels, energy storage, and a generator so you don't have to depend on the Carrollton grid. Though microgrids can and do connect to the main grid, they can also run off it, which standard solar panels are unable to do. These solar electricity solutions collect, store, and generate their own power, so you can remain independent during a blackout.
