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 77984: Your Path to Energy Independence

Texas recorded the most power outages of any state between 2000 and 2023, totaling 264 blackouts. These outages were largely due to weather conditions. Weather events ranging from ice storms and high-category hurricanes to heavy rains and high winds can leave you without power for days or even weeks. Shiner, Texas power outages like these can threaten your safety and the security of your investments.

A bespoke solar microgrid system from Fortress Microgrid can offer the energy independence needed to keep your Shiner home or business running. The next time the Texas grid fails, you won’t have 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 rest easy knowing your energy autonomy will keep your power reliable.

In addition to energy independence, solar can lead to utility savings. Microgrids generate and store power so you can greatly decrease your use of power from the grid. Your 77984 electricity expenses will be lower.

Your Shiner solar microgrid also helps with peak load shaving, which further shrinks your utility costs. Peak demand (or peak load) is when the power demand on the grid is at its highest. Grid-supplied electricity consumption during this time is more expensive. Peak load shaving empowers you to leverage solar energy to offset or reduce your grid energy use during hours of peak demand. Peak load shavings can result in energy cost savings, and it helps with grid stability by decreasing load on the grid during peak demand periods.

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

A generic solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your 77984 home to provide some power and energy savings, but you'll still be susceptible to blackouts. Most standard solar panel systems only have panels with no place to store the energy collected (a battery), and they still need the grid to power your building. When a tree falls onto a power line or a heavy storm causes a blackout, your home will experience a power failure along with the grid despite your panels.

A solar microgrid features solar panels, a battery for energy storage, and a backup power generator so you can power your Shiner home without fully relying on the grid. While microgrids can connect to the main grid, they can also work apart from it, which your normal solar panels can't do. These solar electricity solutions collect, store, and generate their own power, so you can stay autonomous during a power outage.

Power Your 77984 Home or Business with Solar Panels

No two homes or businesses are alike, and one building's energy needs won't exactly match another's. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all model for solar power and Shiner energy independence; we provide holistic solutions combining solar energy with battery storage. We take your personal usage and needs into consideration to offer the best energy solution for your situation — even if all you need is solar panels. You can depend on the experts at Fortress Microgrid to source and install high-quality solar panels

Besides traditional solar panels, we are thrilled to offer certified 77984 Tesla Solar Roof installation. Solar panels are usually installed on your existing roof, but the Tesla Solar Roof is a roof replacement. The Solar Roof features glass solar tiles paired with custom steel roofing tiles to create a beautiful roof design while maximizing your solar production. The Solar Roof system integrates seamlessly with the Tesla Powerwall to store power, giving you energy independence.

Solar Battery Backup in 77984, Shiner Keeps You Powered at All Times

For many Texans, solar panels alone are not enough. We have solar and battery systems for buildings across Shiner. The panels provide energy throughout the day, and surplus power is saved in the battery backup to be used at night and when the main grid fails.

To better service Shiner homeowners, Fortress Microgrid is also a Certified Tesla Powerwall installer. The Tesla Powerwall is a home battery powered by solar power or grid electricity when solar isn’t an option. The Powerwall is charged by excess energy from your solar panels, and it can supply power to your home both day and night. If an outage happens, the Powerwall has backup power, guaranteeing a continuous supply of energy.
