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 75652

Texas encountered 264 blackouts over the last 23 years, leading the U.S. in power outages. These outages were largely due to weather conditions. Anything from ice storms and high-category hurricanes to powerful winds and severe thunderstorms can leave you without power for days or even weeks. Blackouts like these in Henderson, TX can jeopardize your safety and investments.

A custom solar microgrid from Fortress Microgrid can provide you the energy independence you need to keep your Henderson home or business running. The next time the Texas grid fails, you won't have to be concerned 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 relax knowing your energy autonomy will keep your electricity flowing.

Along with energy independence, solar offers utility savings. When you use a microgrid system to generate and store your own energy, you can significantly decrease your grid-supplied electricity usage. You’ll notice a reduction in your Texas utility bills.

Your Henderson 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 power demand on the grid is at its highest. If you use grid electricity during this time, you are charged more for it. With peak load shaving, you can turn to solar energy to balance or minimize your grid energy use during hours of peak demand. Not only does peak load shaving lead to energy cost savings, but it also helps with grid stability by easing grid load during periods of high demand.

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

An off-the-shelf solar solution may provide solar energy in 75652 for powering your home and achieving energy savings, but you’ll still be vulnerable to power outages. Most  basic solar systems just come with panels and have nowhere to store energy (a battery), meaning they still need the grid to power your building. When a tree falls onto a power line or a big freeze causes a blackout, the panels won't keep the grid's failure from causing power failure in your home.

Solar microgrids have solar panels, batteries, and backup generators to offer independence from the grid. Though microgrids can and do connect to the main grid, they can also function separately from it, unlike conventional solar panels. These solar power solutions enable you to collect, store, and generate energy, helping you stay autonomous during a blackout.

Power Your 75652 Home or Business with Solar Panels

No home or business is the same, and one building's energy needs won't exactly match another's. We avoid the one-size-fits-all approach to Henderson solar power and energy independence; we offer integrated solar and battery storage solutions. We take your personal usage and needs into consideration to offer the best energy solution for your situation — even if solar panels are all that's needed. You can rely on Fortress Microgrid's experts to source and install quality solar panels

Beyond traditional solar panels, we proudly offer Tesla Solar Roof installation as a Tesla Certified Installer in 75652. Unlike solar panels installed on top of your existing roof, the Tesla Solar Roof will be a replacement. The Solar Roof is comprised of custom steel roofing tiles and glass solar tiles to deliver an aesthetic roof appearance while maximizing your solar production. When integrated with the Tesla Powewall, the Solar Roof system can store power, ensuring energy autonomy.

Solar Systems with Battery Backup to Keep Your 75652, Texas Home or Business Powered

Solar panels alone are not enough for many Texans. Your home or business in Henderson may benefit from our solar and battery solutions. The panels supply power during the day, while the battery backup stores excess power to be used when it's dark out and when the main grid fails.

To better serve customers in Henderson, Fortress Microgrid is also a Certified Tesla Powerwall installer. The Tesla Powerwall is a type of home battery. It's powered by either solar or the grid in nonsolar scenarios. Excess energy from your solar panels charges the Powerwall, which can supply power to your home both day and night. In case of a blackout the Powerwall supplies backup power, guaranteeing a continuous supply of energy.
