Store excess solar energy during the day and use it at night instead of buying from AEP Texas at $0.16/kWh.
Use stored solar energy during peak hours to avoid the highest rates and reduce your grid dependence.
Texas averages 48 hours of outages per year. A battery keeps your home powered when the grid goes down.
AEP Texas charges $0.16/kWh today. With solar + battery, you lock in energy costs and protect against future rate hikes.
Progreso, Texas residents pay $0.16 per kWh with AEP Texas, which is 3% below the national average. At this rate, a typical household spends approximately $1,756 per year on electricity. A combined solar + battery system generates clean energy during the day, stores the excess, and powers your home around the clock—dramatically reducing or eliminating your AEP Texas bill.
A battery stores excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night and during outages. Texas averages 48 hours of power outages per year, making battery backup a practical investment for Progreso homeowners. When paired with solar panels, battery storage maximizes self-consumption and reduces grid dependence.
The federal residential solar and battery tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025. Homeowners purchasing with cash or a loan no longer receive a federal tax credit. However, state and utility incentives still apply: Texas offers solar incentive programs through the Grid Resilience. NuWatt Energy installs both solar and battery storage directly in Progreso—one crew, one warranty, no subcontractors.
