Solar Backup Power for Beaumont Homes
After the 2021 freeze, a lot of Beaumont homeowners started thinking about backup power. Here are your options.
How do I keep my house powered during an outage?
Three main options: solar+battery, gas/propane generator, or portable generator. Each has tradeoffs.
Should I get a Generac or Tesla Powerwall?
The ERCOT-managed Texas grid creates distinct advantages for solar owners, including competitive retail electricity and grid services programs.
Option | Upfront Cost | Fuel | Noise | Automation | Extra Income |
Solar+Battery | $10-20k | None | Silent | Automatic | $200-500/yr |
Whole-home Generator | $5-15k | Gas/Propane | Loud | Automatic | $0 |
Portable Generator | $500-2k | Gas | Loud | Manual | $0 |
Do solar panels work during a power outage?
Entergy grid reliability is decent but not perfect. Multi-day outages are rare but they happen. The 2021 winter storm proved that.
The Modern Electric Advantage
Unlike generators that sit idle, our battery systems earn $200-500/year through grid services while waiting for outages. You get backup power AND passive income.
