Houston Solar Battery Installation The Light Battery Program™
Outages. Hurricane seasons. Rising summer peak bills.
Houston’s Grid Is Not Built for Stability
Houston homeowners face:
Hurricane-driven outages
Severe thunderstorm events
Extended grid disruptions
Heavy summer AC demand
CenterPoint delivery charges
When the grid fails, traditional solar shuts off.
When peak pricing hits, export credits often don’t match retail rates.
Solar alone is no longer enough in Houston.
Why Houston Solar Owners Feel Frustrated
Many Houston systems were installed when:
Export credits were stronger
Retail rates were lower
Free nights plans weren’t as aggressive
Peak rate spreads were narrower
Today, many homeowners:
Export midday solar cheaply
Buy back power in the evening at higher rates
Still pay delivery charges
See inconsistent billing
The issue isn’t production. It’s structure.
A Structured Energy Strategy. Not Just a Battery.
The Light Battery Program™ is designed specifically for Texas markets like Houston.
It includes:
Primary battery lease structure (~$85–$95/month depending on structure)
Enrollment in a participating retail plan offering 1:1 net metering
A $54 monthly battery credit under current participating plan terms
Optimized export and consumption alignment
Backup capability during grid outages
When combined properly, many homeowners see:
Significantly reduced effective battery cost
Lower overall grid reliance
More stable billing structure
Instead of selling power cheaply and buying it back high, you increase control.
Example: West Houston AC-Heavy Home
Summer bills: $220–$260
High evening cooling demand
Strong daytime solar export
CenterPoint delivery charges consistent
After enrolling in The Light Battery Program™:
Battery lease structured
$54 monthly battery credit applied under participating plan
1:1 net metering maintained
Evening usage offset with storage
Result:
More predictable monthly structure
Reduced effective battery cost
Increased self-consumption
Backup protection during outages
Actual results vary by usage and system size.
Hurricane Exposure Changes the Equation
Houston homeowners understand:
Multi-day outages are real
Food loss is expensive
AC loss during heat waves is dangerous
Remote work depends on uptime
Solar without storage shuts off during outages.
Battery integration allows:
Automatic grid disconnection
Critical load backup
Solar recharging during daylight
Savings matter. Resilience matters more.
The Light Battery Program™ May Be Right If You:
Already have solar in Houston
Are frustrated with buyback math
Experience peak-rate spikes
Want predictable billing
Want backup protection
Prefer lease structure over large loan payments
The program is structured for homeowners who want:
Lower upfront barrier
Strategic retail pairing
Storage integration
Long-term energy stabilitye, evaluate your installation environment.
Houston Energy Costs Are Not Going Backward
CenterPoint delivery charges remain.
Peak summer demand increases.
Storm seasons are not slowing down.
If you are relying on export credits alone, your strategy may be outdated.
The Light Battery Program™ was built specifically for markets like Houston.
Check eligibility and see how the structure applies to your home.
-
The $54 monthly credit is available under the current participating retail plan structure offered through The Light Battery Program™. Eligibility and plan terms apply. Details are reviewed before enrollment.
-
Under the participating retail plan used within The Light Battery Program™, eligible homeowners receive 1:1 net metering under current plan terms. Availability depends on enrollment and provider conditions at the time of activation.
-
No. The Light Battery Program™ is structured primarily as a lease model, designed to lower upfront costs compared to traditional battery purchase loans.
-
Total bill impact depends on usage, system size, and rate structure. Many homeowners reduce grid exposure significantly, but outcomes vary by household.
-
When configured for backup, the battery can power designated circuits or the home during grid outages and recharge from solar during daylight hours.
