Battery Storage & EV Charging
A New Relationship to Energy
The value of energy has shifted under our feet. Solar energy systems to date have largely been measured by financial returns. Because of the Texas winter storm and the realization that we’re at risk of future outages, we now measure solar energy in terms of wellbeing. For many families, that means having the ability to store energy and use it to charge an electric vehicle.
System design for solar plus battery storage has more nuance than solar systems by themselves. Would you like to know how a half-day power outage or a two-day power outage might affect your energy access? Talk to a member of our team.

Residential and Commercial
Lighthouse has installed EV charging stations around Austin for residential and commercial customers. We installed this charging station for Austin Energy in the Seaholm district of downtown Austin.
“Lighthouse Solar installed our electric vehicle charging station, and a larger main electric panel to accommodate a solar photovoltaic installation in the future. Both their bid and the actual installation were very professional.”
“Lighthouse Solar did an excellent job of installing our system. From our initial meeting to installation and follow-up, the staff was always pleasant to work with. We are so pleased with our panels and how they are performing.The online monitoring allows us to keep tabs on the performance of our panels vs energy consumption. Lighthouse Solar gets an A++!”
