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.

Solar Power in 75602: Your Path to Energy Independence

Between 2000 and 2023, Texas experienced the most power outages of any state, with 264 blackouts. Most of these outages were weather-related. Weather events ranging from winter freezes and summer hurricanes to thunderstorms and gusty winds can leave you without power for days or even weeks. These Longview, TX blackouts 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 Longview home or business has a steady power supply. The next time the Texas grid fails, you won’t have to worry about your carefully curated wine collection going bad or putting your show animals' habitat at risk. With a complete system featuring solar panels, batteries, and generators, you can relax knowing you'll remain powered.

In addition to energy independence, solar can lead to utility savings. Generating and storing your own electricity means you can significantly minimize your grid-supplied power consumption. You’ll notice a reduction in your Texas utility bills.

Your Longview solar microgrid can also help you save on energy costs through peak load shaving. Peak load, also called peak demand, refers to when the grid experiences the highest electricity usage. You are charged more for the grid-supplied electricity you use during this time. Peak load shaving empowers you to take advantage of solar energy to offset or reduce 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 lowering grid strain during high-demand times.

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

An off-the-shelf solar solution might give you solar energy in 75602 to power your home and realize 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), 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 winter freeze results in 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 to offer independence from the grid. Though microgrids can and do connect to the main grid, they can also operate separately from it, unlike conventional solar panels. With these solar energy solutions, you can collect, store, and generate power and maintain autonomy during a utility grid failure.
