Add a battery, receive a $54 monthly credit, and store your solar power for nighttime use
Energy Use in Fort Worth Keeps Rising
Fort Worth has seen rapid population and housing growth over the past decade.
As more homes are built and electricity demand rises, many homeowners have installed solar panels to reduce their energy costs.
But many Fort Worth solar homeowners quickly discover something surprising:
Even with solar panels, they still see $120–$200 monthly electric bills.
The reason comes down to when energy is used.
Solar panels produce electricity mostly during:
- Late morning
- Midday
- Early afternoon
But many homes use the most electricity later in the evening, especially when cooling demand remains high.
The Timing Mismatch Between Solar and Home Energy Use
Most solar systems operate in a simple cycle.
During the day:
- Solar panels produce electricity
- Extra energy is exported to the grid
- Solar production stops
- Electricity must be purchased from the grid
- Sending solar energy to the grid during the day
and then
buying electricity back later in the evening.
Even though their solar system produced plenty of energy overall.

How the Light Battery Program™ Changes the Math
A solar battery allows your home to store excess solar energy during the day.
That stored energy can then power your home after sunset, when electricity demand increases.
The Light Battery Program™ includes a $54 monthly battery credit, which helps offset much of the battery cost.
Example scenario.
Typical Fort Worth solar homeowner:
- Remaining electric bill:
- $150/month
With the Light Battery Program™
Battery lease: $85/monthBattery credit: –$54/month
Effective battery cost: about $31/month
Instead of exporting solar energy and buying electricity later, homeowners can store their solar power and use it when their home actually needs it.
