Solar installation in Houston.
ETW Energy installs solar and battery storage for homes across the Houston metro. Houston is in Texas’s deregulated electricity market on the ERCOT grid, which means you choose your retail electricity provider — and some providers offer solar buyback plans that change how a system pays off.
After the grid failures of recent years, outage resilience is a leading reason Houston homeowners go solar, and a battery is central to that.
Resilience on the ERCOT grid
A standard grid-tied system shuts off in an outage. Adding a battery is what keeps your home powered through the kind of grid events Houston has seen — and lets you store solar to use on your own terms.
Pairing storage with the right buyback plan can also let you send energy back when it is most valuable. We help you line up the system and the plan together.
Designed for the Gulf Coast
Houston’s heat, humidity, and storm exposure inform equipment choices and mounting. We handle local permitting and interconnection with your TDU across the metro.
Solar in Houston — common questions
Does Houston have net metering?
Not a single statewide rule — Houston is in the deregulated ERCOT market, so solar buyback depends on the retail provider and plan you choose. We design your system with the right plan in mind.
Why do so many Houston homeowners add a battery?
Resilience. After recent grid failures, a battery keeps your home running during outages, and it lets you store your own solar instead of exporting it at a low rate.
