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 75701?

Texas recorded the most power outages of any state between 2000 and 2023, totaling 264 blackouts. Most of these outages were weather-related. Everything from major hurricanes and freezes to powerful winds and severe thunderstorms can cause power disruptions for days or weeks. These Tyler, TX blackouts can put your safety and investments at risk.

A bespoke solar microgrid system from Fortress Microgrid can provide you the energy independence required to keep your Tyler home or business supplied with power. When the next blackout happens, you won’t have to worry about your cigar collection being ruined or losing profit from wasted beer batches. A microgrid features solar panels, energy storage, and generators, so you can rest easy knowing you have the energy autonomy to stay powered.

Beyond energy independence, you can enjoy utility savings with solar. Microgrids generate and store power so you can greatly decrease your usage of grid-supplied electricity. Your 75701 electricity expenses will be lower.

Installing a solar microgrid in Tyler can further help you save on utility costs with peak load shaving. Peak load, or peak demand, is when the power demand on the grid is at its highest. You are charged more for the grid-supplied electricity you use during this time. Through peak load shaving, you're able to take advantage of solar energy to balance or minimize your grid energy consumption during peak hours. Peak load shavings can result in energy cost savings, and it promotes grid stability by lowering grid strain during high-demand times.

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

An off-the-shelf solar solution may deliver enough solar energy to your 75701 home to provide some power and energy savings, but it won't do anything about power outages. Basic solar panel arrangements usually consist only of panels and have no battery to store the energy, so they still depend on the energy grid to power your home or business. When a power line is taken down by a tree branch or a winter freeze results in a blackout, the panels won't keep the grid's failure from causing power failure in your home.

A solar microgrid features solar panels, a battery for energy storage, and a backup power generator so you can power your Tyler home without fully relying on the grid. Microgrids can connect to the main grid, but they can also function separately from it, which standard solar panels are unable to do. With these solar energy solutions, you can collect, store, and generate power and remain independent during a blackout.
