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 Snyder, TX: Your Path to Energy Independence

Texas reported 264 blackouts from 2000 to 2023, making it the state with the most power outages. Most of these outages were weather-related. Everything from ice storms and high-category hurricanes to thunderstorms and gusty winds can leave you without power for days or even weeks. Such power outages in Snyder, Texas can put your safety and investments at risk.

Fortress Microgrid designs and installs tailored microgrid solutions to offer the energy independence needed to ensure consistent power for your Snyder home or business. The next time the Texas grid fails, you won’t have to worry about your hard-earned game meat spoiling or missing profit from wasted products. We combine solar panels with batteries for storage and generators, so you can feel confident you have the energy autonomy to stay powered.

In addition to energy independence, solar can lead to utility savings. When you use a microgrid system to generate and store your own energy, you can dramatically lessen your use of power from the grid. You’ll see a decrease in your Snyder, Texas power expenses.

Peak load shaving is another way your solar microgrid can help you save on energy costs in Snyder. 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. With peak load shaving, you can use solar energy to mitigate or lower your grid energy use during hours of peak demand. Peak load shaving doesn't just help you save on utility costs. It also helps with grid stability by reducing strain during high-demand periods.

What Exactly Is a Microgrid and Why Do You Need One in Snyder, TX?

A run-of-the-mill solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your Snyder home to provide some power and energy savings, but you’ll still be vulnerable to power outages. Most standard solar panel systems only have panels with no place to store the energy collected (a battery), meaning they still depend on the energy grid to power your home or business. When a fallen tree takes out 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 Snyder home without fully relying on the grid. Microgrids can connect to the Texas grid, but they can also work apart from it, unlike conventional solar panels. Your microgrid can collect, store, and generate electricity, allowing you to maintain autonomy during a power outage.
