FAQ & Newsroom

All good, we asked ourselves the same thing. The battery can export/sell a small amount of energy during 'peak times' which allows energy companies to make extra income from the power grid, instead of from their customers.

In return, the energy company will install & maintain the backup battery equipment at no cost to the homeowner and can offer an electric rate much lower than the regular market price. 

Any energy that is sold off will be replaced like it was basically never gone. Most importantly, by energy will not be sold during outages (by law!) so don't worry about having a drained battery when you need it.

Nope, homeowners will just pay a less-expensive monthly bill like they are already doing. Plus, they won't have to worry about power outages anymore.

Installation costs, permitting fees, cancellation fees, etc. are all covered as long as the customer passes a soft-credit check with a score of 620 or higher.

Equipment, labor and performance are warrantied for 25 years and can easily transfer to the next owner.

The battery is included in the 25 year warranty and will be replaced at no cost when it has degraded below the capacity threshold or if it is damaged outside of your control.

The equipment will be also be monitored so if there is any issue, we will reach out to the homeowner and schedule a time to fix it at no cost.

A minimum amount of solar panels are needed to recharge the backup battery, especially useful when there's an extended power outage. 

The backup battery shouldn't remain fully charged at all times and occasionally needs to 'cycle' (discharge/recharge) a partial amount of energy to maximize performance. 

Without solar panels, the homeowner would have to recharge their battery from the grid which is both impractical and expensive.

Any surplus energy from the panels/battery will be credited to the homeowner to give them a lower monthly bill. 

Note: Our virtual power plant plan is unique and the only of it's kind in Texas. It is not a 'solar program'. There are NO loans, liens on the property, ballooning payment, etc.  

Share the new homeowners contact info with us or vice versa and we can handle the rest once we have a confirmed transfer date. Plus, having a backup energy source installed is a great highlight when it comes to sell you home.

Yes! In most instances, homeowners will just need to add 6-10 more panels to qualify. 

This is perfect for families who are still getting an average utility bill of $50+ a month and need a backup battery.

We also have 1:1 net-metering buyback plans so homeowners will get the most bang-for-their-buck from their current system.

It usually takes 30-45 days for completion based on how quick the utility and/or city permits are processed. The actual install itself takes about 1 day but sometimes 2 days if extra electrical work is needed.

Don't worry, we aren't going to pay it. We need a copy of the electric bill to determine if the home's annual electric usage and backup battery needs can be supported by our equipment. 

A picture, .pdf file or screenshot that shows either 12 months of usage or the Meter ID# is required unless you recently moved-in.

This program is primarily for homeowner's that live in an area where they can 'choose their power' provider. There are a handful of co-op and city-owned electric providers that we can help out as well. 

Customers must pass a soft-credit check with a score of 620 or higher for $0 in upfront costs. 

Home internet is required to monitor system. 

Promotions differ between utility transmission providers, zip code and annual electric usage.

Since there’s no upfront cost or principle amount on leased equipment, traditional ROI doesn’t apply. Instead, you benefit from lower monthly electric bills — most customers save around 20–40% annually compared to their old utility rates.

We use Sonnen, Tesla, Enphase, Franklin, EG4, SolarEdge and more batteries products. Model and manufacturer of battery will vary based on the homes power needs and location.
