After grid failures during Winter Storm Uri and subsequent summer blackouts, Texas homeowners learned the grid isn’t always there. Solar and battery storage let you generate your own power, slash your bill, and keep critical systems running when the grid fails.

Overview
Your roof is already collecting energy — you’re just not using it.
Right now, that sunlight turns into heat your AC has to fight. Solar panels convert it into electricity instead. Add a battery, and you have backup power with no generator fuel, no noise, no maintenance. Panels cost far less than they did a decade ago, and Texas’s deregulated market means you actually benefit from what you produce. We design your system around your real electric bills — not a generic estimate — so the numbers stay honest.
What a good solar and battery installations plan should cover
Custom system design based on your actual usage
Panel count, battery size, and inverter capacity are all sized to match how your household actually uses energy throughout the year. No cookie-cutter proposals.
Installed cost, utility structure, and any incentives you can verify today should drive the decision.
Battery backup keeps critical systems running
When the grid drops, your battery kicks in automatically — fridge, lights, internet, medical equipment. No transfer switch to flip, no generator to start.
How solar and battery installations should be approached
1
Pull your utility data, run a shade analysis, and assess roof condition
We analyze 12 months of usage to size the system to your actual consumption — not a generic estimate. A shade study maps shadow patterns from trees, chimneys, and neighboring structures across every hour and season. Roof age, material, orientation, pitch, and structural condition all have to check out before we design anything.
2
Custom system design, financing options, permits, and utility interconnection
Your proposal includes panel count, inverter type, battery sizing (if applicable), projected savings, and payback timeline under current incentive assumptions. We handle building permits, electrical permits, and the utility interconnection application — that’s typically 2–4 weeks of paperwork you never have to touch.
3
Install in 1–2 days, pass city inspection, and activate with live monitoring
Panels, racking, inverter, and battery go on your roof and wall. After city inspection and utility permission to operate (PTO), the system goes live. We set up your monitoring app so you see production in real time — and we verify the first week’s output against the design model to make sure everything performs as promised.
