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 79701: Your Path to Energy Independence

Texas experienced 264 blackouts between 2000 and 2023 — the most of any state. Most of these outages were weather-related. Weather events ranging from winter freezes and summer hurricanes to heavy rains and high winds may cause power outages lasting for days or even weeks. Midland, Texas power outages like these can pose risks to both your personal safety and financial investments.

Fortress Microgrid creates custom solar microgrids that can provide you the energy independence required to ensure your Midland building remains powered. When the grid goes down, you won't need to worry about essential medical equipment shutting off or putting your show animals' habitat at risk. With a complete system featuring solar panels, batteries, and generators, you can relax knowing your energy autonomy will keep your electricity flowing.

Along with energy independence, you can enjoy utility savings with solar. By generating and storing your own electricity from solar panels, you can significantly minimize how much electricity you use from the grid. You’ll save on your Midland, Texas energy costs.

Your Midland solar microgrid also helps with peak load shaving, which further shrinks your utility costs. The term peak load describes the time of day when the electric grid experiences the highest demand for power. Grid-supplied electricity consumption during this time is more expensive. Peak load shaving allows you to use solar energy to reduce or shift your grid energy consumption during peak hours. 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.

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

A cookie-cutter solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your 79701 home to provide some power and energy savings, but you'll still be susceptible to blackouts. Most  basic solar systems just come with panels and have no battery for storing energy, and they still have to use the grid to supply electricity to your building. When a snapped tree branch knocks out the power or a heavy 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 give you freedom from the Midland grid. Though microgrids can and do connect to the main grid, they can also work apart from it, unlike your typical solar panels. Your microgrid can collect, store, and generate electricity, allowing you to stay autonomous during a utility grid outage.
