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.

Why Invest in Solar Power Systems in Texas City, TX?

Over the past 23 years, Texas has had 264 power outages, which is more than any other state. Most of these outages were weather-related. Everything from major hurricanes and freezes to powerful winds and severe thunderstorms can lead to extended power outages, sometimes lasting for days or weeks. These Texas City, TX blackouts can pose risks to both your personal safety and financial investments.

A bespoke solar microgrid system from Fortress Microgrid can give you the energy independence you need to keep your Texas City business or home powered. The next time the Texas grid fails, you won’t have to worry about your hard-earned game meat spoiling or risking the comfort and safety of your exotic animals. With a full microgrid solution comprised of solar panels, batteries, and generators, you can feel confident your energy autonomy will keep your electricity flowing.

Along with energy independence, solar can lead to utility savings. Microgrids generate and store power so you can greatly lessen your grid-supplied electricity usage. You’ll enjoy lower Texas City, Texas power bills.

Your Texas City solar microgrid also helps with peak load shaving, which further shrinks your utility costs. Peak demand (or peak load) is 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 leverage solar energy to decrease or offset your grid energy use during hours of peak demand. Peak load shaving doesn't just help you save on utility costs. It also supports grid stability by easing grid load during periods of high demand.

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

A cookie-cutter solar solution might give you solar energy in Texas City to power your home and realize energy savings, but it won't do anything about power outages. Most  basic solar systems just come with panels and have nowhere to store energy (a battery), meaning they still depend on the energy grid to power your home or business. When a tree falls onto a power line or a severe storm causes a blackout, the grid’s failure leads to power failure in your home despite the panels.

A solar microgrid features solar panels, a battery for energy storage, and a backup power generator to offer independence from the grid. While microgrids can connect to the main grid, they can also operate separately from it, unlike your typical solar panels. Your microgrid can collect, store, and generate electricity, allowing you to stay self-sufficient during a utility grid failure.
