TROY, TX · BELL COUNTY · 2026
Solar + battery in Troy, TX.
A utility swap for Troy 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. Well suited to Troy's larger lots, full-size roofs, and the rural feeders where an outage can also cut your well pump.
// TL;DR
Troy is a smaller Bell County community north of Temple on the ERCOT grid (most homes are Oncor delivery, some rural on a co-op). Bigger lots mean bigger roofs and room to size a system well. Summer bills routinely 350-500 dollars, delivery fees rising, and rural outages can be longer. The utility swap has no upfront cost, includes battery backup that can carry a well pump, and transfers if you sell.
01 / The Troy reality
Why it makes sense in Troy specifically.
Is solar worth it for a Troy homeowner in 2026?
For most Troy homeowners with a 200-dollar-plus bill, yes. Troy's larger lots and full-size roofs suit solar well, summer bills routinely run 350-500 dollars, and ERCOT delivery fees keep climbing. On rural feeders, outages can also run longer — which is exactly where battery backup earns its keep.
If I'm on a well, will the battery keep the pump running?
Many Troy-area homes run a well pump that stops the second the grid goes down. A properly sized battery can keep essential loads — including a well pump — running during an outage, so you keep water, refrigeration, and internet. We size the battery around your actual essential loads during the free site check.
