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 Los Fresnos, TX

Between 2000 and 2023, Texas led the nation in power outages with 264 blackouts. The majority of these outages were weather-related. Everything from winter freezes and summer hurricanes to thunderstorms and gusty winds can leave your home or business without power for days and weeks at a time. Los Fresnos, Texas power outages like these can pose risks to both your personal safety and financial investments.

Fortress Microgrid creates custom solar microgrids that can give you the energy independence you need to make sure your Los Fresnos home or business has a steady power supply. When the next blackout happens, you won’t have to worry about your carefully curated wine collection going bad or missing profit from wasted products. With a complete system featuring solar panels, batteries, and generators, you can have peace of mind that your energy autonomy will keep your electricity flowing.

Beyond energy independence, solar has the benefit of utility savings. By generating and storing your own electricity from solar panels, you can dramatically minimize your use of power from the grid. Your Los Fresnos, Texas electricity expenses will be lower.

Installing a solar microgrid in Los Fresnos can further help you save on utility costs with peak load shaving. Peak load, or peak demand, is when the grid experiences the highest electricity usage. If you use grid electricity during this time, you are charged more for it. Peak load shaving allows you to take advantage of solar energy to decrease or offset your grid energy consumption during these peak hours. Not only can peak load shaving reduce your utility costs, but it also contributes to grid stability by lowering grid strain during high-demand times.

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

A run-of-the-mill solar solution may provide solar energy in Los Fresnos for powering your home and achieving energy savings, but you'll still be susceptible to blackouts. Standard solar setups are typically limited to only panels with nowhere to store energy (a battery), so 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 consists of solar, battery storage, and backup power generation to offer independence from the grid. Though microgrids can and do connect to the main grid, they can also function separately from it, which your normal solar panels can't do. Your microgrid can collect, store, and generate electricity, allowing you to remain independent during a Texas grid outage.
