Residential Rooftop Solar – The Johnson Family

When the Johnsons moved into their dream home near Austin, they didn’t expect their electricity bills to hit $450/month—or to lose power for three straight days during the 2023 winter storm. "We had to crash at a hotel with our two kids," recalls Sarah Johnson. "After that, we knew we needed a real solution—not just cheaper energy, but reliable power."

The SolarGen Difference

Our team designed a custom sun-tracking solar array paired with two Tesla Powerwalls, specifically engineered for:

- Texas’ climate: Heat-resistant panels that maintain efficiency even at 110°F

- Storm resilience: Hurricane-rated mounting + backup power for 7+ days

- Maximized savings: Smart system that sells excess energy back to the grid

The Results: More Than Just Savings

  • Energy Independence: 90% of power needs met year-round

  • Financial Impact: 1,200 annual savings + 1,200 annual savings + 280/year from grid credit

  • Peace of Mind: Survived 4 major outages without disruption

  • Future-Proofing: System scales to add EV charging in 2024

"Now when storms hit, our neighbors ask to charge their phones at OUR house," laughs Sarah. "SolarGen didn’t just install panels—they gave us control over our energy for the first time."

Thompson Manufacturing – Wind Energy Success

"As a mid-sized factory, energy was our #2 expense. SolarGen proposed a hybrid wind-solar microgrid to offset our 24/7 operations. The three 15kW turbines now provide 40% of our power, and the smart battery system shaves peak demand charges. In 18 months, we’ve cut $48,000 in costs and earned state sustainability grants.
