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 76548?

Texas recorded the most power outages of any state between 2000 and 2023, totaling 264 blackouts. The majority of these outages were weather-related. Weather events ranging from major hurricanes and freezes to thunderstorms and gusty winds can lead to extended power outages, sometimes lasting for days or weeks. These Harker Heights, TX blackouts can jeopardize your safety and investments.

Fortress Microgrid designs and installs tailored microgrid solutions to provide you the energy independence needed to ensure your Harker Heights building remains powered. When the next blackout happens, you won’t have to worry about your hard-earned game meat spoiling or losing profit from wasted beer batches. 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.

In addition to energy independence, you can enjoy utility savings with solar. Generating and storing your own electricity means you can dramatically lessen your grid-supplied electricity usage. You’ll save on your Harker Heights, Texas energy costs.

Your Harker Heights solar microgrid can also help you save on energy costs through peak load shaving. Peak load, also called peak demand, refers to when the power demand on the grid is at its highest. If you use grid electricity during this time, you are charged more for it. Peak load shaving empowers you to turn to solar energy to reduce or shift your grid electricity usage during peak times. Peak load shaving doesn't just help you save on utility costs. It also contributes to grid stability by easing grid load during periods of high demand.

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

A generic solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your 76548 home to provide some power and energy savings, but you'll still be impacted by power outages. Standard solar setups are typically limited to only panels with no battery to store the energy, which means they still depend on the energy grid to power your home or business. When a tree falls onto a power line 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 consists of solar, battery storage, and backup power generation to offer independence from the grid. Microgrids can connect to the Texas grid, but they can also run off it, which your normal solar panels can't do. Your microgrid can collect, store, and generate electricity, allowing you to stay self-sufficient during a power outage.
