Solar installation in Austin.
ETW Energy installs solar and battery storage for homes across Austin. Austin is not part of Texas’s deregulated retail electricity market — it is served by Austin Energy, a municipal utility with its own solar program. That distinction matters, and it shapes how we design and value a system here.
Strong Central Texas sun, hot summers, and grid-reliability concerns make Austin a market where solar paired with storage is a popular, practical choice.
Solar plus storage for Texas reliability
After recent grid stress events, many Austin homeowners want more than bill savings — they want their home to keep running when the grid does not. A battery delivers that resilience and lets you make better use of the solar you produce.
Designed for Central Texas
Austin’s long, hot summers mean heavy air-conditioning load that lines up well with strong midday production. We size systems for that load profile and manage Austin Energy interconnection from start to finish.
Solar in Austin — common questions
Is Austin part of the deregulated Texas electricity market?
No. Austin is served by Austin Energy, a municipal utility, so you do not choose a retail provider the way Houston-area residents in the deregulated market do. Austin Energy sets its own solar program, which we design around.
Should I add a battery in Austin?
Many Austin homeowners do, primarily for resilience during grid events, and secondarily to use more of their own solar. We will show you whether it makes sense for your home.
