Energy Solutions Tailored to Houston’s Needs
Whether you’re a homeowner defending against rising rates and hurricane outages, a contractor serving the explosive Houston solar market, a business capturing the commercial ITC before mid-2026, or a property owner protecting tenants from grid failures, PES delivers the products, expertise, and logistics support to ensure project success in Houston’s demanding Gulf Coast climate—extreme heat, hurricane-force winds, flooding, and relentless humidity.

Complete Residential Solar & Battery Systems
Take control of your energy bills and storm resilience with solar systems engineered for Houston’s Gulf Coast conditions—from Category 1+ hurricane winds and torrential rain to 100°F+ heat indexes with extreme humidity. Our pre-designed kits include high-efficiency panels rated for hurricane-force wind loads and hail impact, humidity-resistant inverters with advanced MPPT tracking, corrosion-resistant racking systems engineered for Houston’s salt-air coastal environment, and all necessary components—paired with licensed Texas installers who understand Harris County permitting, CenterPoint Energy interconnection procedures, and the unique challenges of installing solar in the Gulf Coast climate zone.
In Houston’s deregulated market, your solar buyback value depends entirely on your REP choice. Top-tier buyback plans from providers like Chariot, Green Mountain, and Rhythm credit excess solar production at 9.5–10¢/kWh, with credits rolling over monthly. Battery storage adds critical hurricane backup AND financial optimization—storing daytime solar for evening self-consumption instead of selling at low export rates and repurchasing at 16¢+. Average Houston installation: 8–12 kW system producing 11,200–19,200 kWh annually—enough to offset 70–100% of typical Houston household consumption. The Texas property tax exemption protects your assessed value, and the Solar Rights Law ensures your HOA cannot block installation.

🔋 Hurricane Storm Backup
Battery & Backup Power
Hurricane Protection & Grid Independence
When a Gulf Coast hurricane knocks out power for days—or weeks—in Houston’s punishing heat and humidity, battery storage and generator backup aren’t optional—they’re survival equipment. Hurricane Beryl left 2.2 million Houston-area customers without power in July 2024, with some waiting 10+ days for restoration as heat indexes exceeded 105°F. Battery systems paired with solar provide seamless backup during outages while maximizing the financial value of your solar investment year-round through self-consumption optimization—a critical strategy in Texas’s deregulated market where export rates (3–10¢/kWh) are far below import rates (14–16¢+/kWh).
A properly sized battery system provides 12–48 hours of critical backup for A/C, refrigeration, medical equipment, communications, lighting, and essential appliances during hurricane-driven outages. Virtual Power Plant (VPP) programs through Tesla Electric ($10/month bill credit) and Octopus Energy ($20/month per 5kWh of storage) offer additional revenue streams by allowing your battery to support grid stability during peak demand—creating income from your backup investment. For businesses, battery backup protects inventory, data, operations, and revenue during the extended outages that accompany Houston’s increasingly frequent severe weather events. Natural gas and propane generators complement battery systems for multi-day outage protection during prolonged hurricane recovery periods.

🏢 30% Federal Commercial ITC
Commercial & Industrial
Scalable Business Energy Solutions
Reduce operating costs for retail, hospitality, medical facilities, warehouses, restaurants, office buildings, industrial operations, and multi-family properties throughout the Houston metro with solar systems designed for Texas’s commercial energy market. The 30% federal commercial Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and accelerated MACRS depreciation remain fully available—but construction must begin before July 2026 to qualify for the full credit. Combined federal benefits typically recover 70–85% of system costs within six years.
Houston’s commercial electricity market offers even stronger solar economics than residential. Commercial rates average 7–9¢/kWh for energy plus delivery charges, but peak demand charges can dramatically increase effective costs for businesses with high daytime consumption. Solar directly offsets peak demand, reducing both energy and demand charges simultaneously. Large rooftop systems on commercial buildings, warehouse roofs, and industrial facilities are proven applications that deliver strong returns in Houston’s 5.0+ daily peak sun hours. Texas’s property tax exemption applies to commercial installations, and the combination of commercial ITC + MACRS depreciation + demand charge reduction + property tax protection represents one of the most compelling commercial solar investment cases in the Gulf Coast region. Battery storage adds hurricane resilience for business continuity—a critical consideration after Beryl’s devastating impact on Houston commerce.
