Storm and hurricane backup
Keep critical loads running when CenterPoint outages last longer than a short flicker: refrigerator, Wi-Fi, medical loads, selected lights, and managed HVAC loads.
Houston backup power support
Houston Battery Backup & Installer Support
CenterPoint-area outages, hurricane season, and Houston heat make backup power a real planning problem. Texas Ranch Energy helps Houston-area installers and customers review battery, inverter, generator hybrid, solar plus battery, and certified ESS options before money is spent on the wrong setup.
Where Houston customers usually get stuck
Most jobs are not just a battery question. They are a load, permit, utility, and installer-support question.
Battery plus generator
Use batteries for quiet automatic backup and short outages, then coordinate generator support for longer runtime when the site needs it.
Solar-only is not backup
Existing solar often shuts down during outages unless the inverter, transfer equipment, battery, and settings are designed for backup operation.
CenterPoint and permit support
We help installers organize equipment data, datasheets, one-line concepts, layout notes, and settings questions before final permit or PTO work.
How we support Houston-area installers
We are a product-side technical partner. Local licensed installers keep the field work and customer relationship.

What we need before recommending hardware
A short review saves time and avoids mismatched batteries, undersized inverters, or paperwork surprises.
LocationZIP code, city, utility, and whether the site is inside City of Houston or another AHJ
LoadsWhat must stay on: refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi, medical equipment, HVAC, pumps, office, or commercial critical loads
Electrical photosMain panel, subpanel, meter, transfer switch, generator, solar inverter, and battery location photos when available
Existing equipmentGenerator size, solar inverter model, battery target, service voltage, breaker sizes, and any installer notes
Paperwork statusPermit status, CenterPoint interconnection/PTO status, inspection notes, and whether a certified ESS path is required
Good fit / not a good fit
Clear boundaries make the project easier for the customer, installer, and inspector.
