Katy Battery Installation The Light Battery Program™

Hurricane exposure. Extreme summer heat. Heavy evening cooling demand.

West Houston Growth + Storm Exposure

Katy sits in CenterPoint territory and faces:

  • Hurricane-season outage risk

  • Severe thunderstorm activity

  • Flood-prone zones

  • Extended summer cooling demand

  • Large suburban homes with high usage

Solar panels produce well during the day.

But when storms hit — or cooling runs past sunset — grid reliance increases.

Solar alone does not provide outage protection.

Exporting Midday, Importing at Night

Many Katy homeowners:

  • Export strong daytime solar

  • Pull power heavily after sunset

  • Run dual HVAC systems

  • See summer bills spike

Without storage:

  • Daytime energy leaves the home

  • Evening cooling pulls from the grid

  • Peak exposure remains

Production is strong.
Timing is misaligned.

A Structured Lease + Retail Pairing

The Light Battery Program™ was built specifically for markets like Katy.

It includes:

  • Primary battery lease structure (~$85–$95/month depending on structure)

  • Enrollment in a participating retail plan offering 1:1 net metering under current plan terms

  • A $54 monthly battery credit under participating plan structure

  • Evening load alignment

  • Backup capability during outages

When structured correctly, many homeowners reduce effective battery cost while stabilizing energy use.

Instead of exporting heavily and buying back during peak, you increase control.

Large Home + Two AC Units + Evening Activity

Typical Katy scenario:

  • 3,000+ sq ft home

  • Two HVAC systems

  • Evening imports remain high

  • No power during outages

With The Light Battery Program™:

  • Stored solar offsets evening cooling

  • $54 monthly credit applied under participating plan

  • 1:1 net metering maintained

  • Backup during outages

Results vary based on home size and usage.

But structure changes resilience and timing.

Savings matter.
Resilience matters more in coastal corridors.

Katy Storm Seasons Aren’t Slowing Down

Hurricane risk remains.

Summer cooling demand continues rising.

Evening load dominates billing patterns.

If your solar system was built only for export math, it may not be optimized for Katy’s storm and cooling realities.

The Light Battery Program™ was structured for exactly this environment.

Check eligibility and review your options.

  • The $54 monthly credit is available under the current participating retail plan used within The Light Battery Program™. Eligibility and plan terms are reviewed prior to enrollment.

  • Eligible homeowners enrolled in the participating retail plan receive 1:1 net metering under current plan terms. Details are confirmed before activation.

  • The Light Battery Program™ is primarily structured as a lease model to reduce upfront investment compared to traditional purchase financing.

  • Total bill impact depends on system size, usage patterns, and rate structure. Many homeowners reduce evening grid exposure significantly, but outcomes vary.

  • When configured for backup, the battery can power designated circuits or the home during grid interruptions and recharge from solar during daylight.
