Solar + battery in Killeen, TX.

A utility swap for Killeen homeowners: Gridhack installs and owns the solar + battery, and you pay per kWh produced instead of your full electric and delivery bill. No upfront cost. Battery backup included. And because Gridhack owns the equipment, the agreement transfers when you sell or PCS — no system to unwind on short notice.

// TL;DR

Killeen sits next to Fort Cavazos in Bell County on the ERCOT grid (most homes are Oncor delivery). Summer bills routinely hit 350-500 dollars, delivery fees keep rising, and outage risk is real. The utility swap has no upfront cost, cuts the bill day one, includes battery backup, and — key for military families — transfers cleanly when you move. Install runs about 6-10 weeks.

01 / The Killeen reality

Why it makes sense in Killeen specifically.

Is solar worth it for a Killeen homeowner in 2026?
For most Killeen homeowners with a 200-dollar-plus bill, yes. Cooling load next to Fort Cavazos is heavy, and summer bills routinely run 350-500 dollars — right when panels produce most. ERCOT delivery fees keep climbing, and after Uri and repeated summer grid strain, battery backup is a practical need. The no-upfront model fits homeowners who don't want to buy a system outright.
What if I PCS or move out of Killeen?
Because Gridhack owns the equipment, the agreement transfers to the next homeowner when you sell — you're not stuck financing a system you sank tens of thousands into. For Fort Cavazos families who PCS on short notice, that's one of the biggest advantages over buying solar outright. Keep the home as a rental and the agreement stays with the property.
02 / Utility + backup

Your utility, and outage backup.

What utility serves Killeen?
Most Killeen and Bell County homes are on the Oncor delivery grid in the deregulated ERCOT market. A few areas are on a local co-op. Send your address and we confirm your exact utility and whether your roof qualifies in about five minutes.
How does battery backup work during an outage?
Panels alone shut off in an outage. Solar + battery keeps essentials running — fridge, internet, lights, partial HVAC — about 12-24 hours per charge, recharging each sunny day. Summer outages become multi-day manageable; a winter event rides on battery capacity until the panels clear.
