Forth Worth Solar Battery Installation The Light Battery Program™
Add a battery, receive a $54 monthly credit, and store your solar power for nighttime use
Energy Use in Fort Worth Keeps Rising
Fort Worth has seen rapid population and housing growth over the past decade.
As more homes are built and electricity demand rises, many homeowners have installed solar panels to reduce their energy costs.
But many Fort Worth solar homeowners quickly discover something surprising:
Even with solar panels, they still see $120–$200 monthly electric bills.
The reason comes down to when energy is used.
Solar panels produce electricity mostly during:
• Late morning
• Midday
• Early afternoon
But many homes use the most electricity later in the evening, especially when cooling demand remains high.
The Timing Mismatch Between Solar and Home Energy Use
Most solar systems operate in a simple cycle.
During the day:
• Solar panels produce electricity
• Extra energy is exported to the grid
Later in the evening:
• Solar production stops
• Electricity must be purchased from the grid
This means many homeowners end up:
Sending solar energy to the grid during the day
and then
buying electricity back later in the evening.
Even though their solar system produced plenty of energy overall.
How the Light Battery Program™ Changes the Math
A solar battery allows your home to store excess solar energy during the day.
That stored energy can then power your home after sunset, when electricity demand increases.
The Light Battery Program™ includes a $54 monthly battery credit, which helps offset much of the battery cost.
Example scenario.
Typical Fort Worth solar homeowner:
Remaining electric bill:
$150/month
With the Light Battery Program™
Battery lease: $85/month
Battery credit: –$54/month
Effective battery cost: about $31/month
Instead of exporting solar energy and buying electricity later, homeowners can store their solar power and use it when their home actually needs it.
A Battery Upgrade Built for Solar Homes
The Light Battery Program™ was designed for homeowners who already have solar panels installed.
The program includes:
• Battery storage installation
• A participating electricity provider
• A fixed $54 monthly battery credit
• 1:1 net metering structure under the program
• Backup power capability during outages
Most batteries cost around $85–$95 per month depending on configuration.
After the $54 credit, many homeowners see an effective cost close to $31/month.
This allows homeowners to:
• Store more of their solar energy
• Reduce electricity purchased from the grid
• Add backup power protection
Before and After Adding Battery Storage
Before installing a battery:
Solar powers the home during the day
Extra energy exported to the grid
Electricity purchased from the grid at night
Typical remaining bill:
~$150/month
After installing a battery:
Solar energy stored during the day
Stored energy powers the home in the evening
Battery lease: $85/month
Battery credit: –$54/month
Effective cost:
~$31/month
Actual results depend on:
• Solar system size
• Household electricity usage
• Electric plan
• Battery capacity
But the goal remains simple:
Use the solar power your system already produces.
The Light Battery Program™ May Be Right If You:
Already have solar
Experience high summer cooling bills
Export excess midday energy
Want more predictable monthly structure
Prefer lease over large loan
Want backup capability
Fort Worth homeowners often prioritize:
Stability
Practical savings
Long-term home ownership value
Battery integration supports those goals.
