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.

Why Invest in Solar Power Systems in Garland, TX?

Over the past 23 years, Texas has had 264 power outages, which is more than any other state. Most of these outages were weather-related. Everything from winter freezes and summer hurricanes to powerful winds and severe thunderstorms can leave you without power for days or even weeks. These Garland, TX blackouts can put your safety and investments at risk.

Fortress Microgrid creates custom solar microgrids that can provide you the energy independence required to keep your Garland home or business running. When — not if — the Texas grid fails again, you won't need to worry about your cigar collection being ruined or putting your show animals' habitat at risk. We combine solar panels with batteries for storage and generators, so you can feel at ease knowing your energy autonomy will keep your electricity flowing.

Beyond energy independence, solar can lead to utility savings. Microgrids generate and store power so you can dramatically lessen your grid-supplied power consumption. You’ll enjoy lower Garland, Texas power bills.

Your Garland solar microgrid can also help you save on energy costs through peak load shaving. The term peak load describes the time of day 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 empowers you to use solar energy to offset or reduce your grid energy use during hours of peak demand. Not only can peak load shaving reduce your utility costs, but it also promotes grid stability by easing grid load during periods of high demand.

Solar-Powered Microgrids Aren’t Your Regular Solar System in Garland, TX

A generic solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your Garland home to provide some power and energy savings, but you'll still be impacted by power outages. Basic solar panel arrangements usually consist only of panels and have no battery to store the energy, and they still depend on the energy grid to power your home or business. When a fallen tree takes out a power line or a severe storm causes a blackout, your home isn't protected from the grid's failure even though you have 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 Garland grid. While microgrids can connect to the main grid, they can also run off it, unlike conventional solar panels. With these solar energy solutions, you can collect, store, and generate power and stay autonomous when the utility grid fails.

You can count on the team at Fortress Microgrid to source and install customized for your Garland business or home.

Seamlessly integrated with the Tesla Powerwall, the Solar Roof system can store excess power and offer energy autonomy.
