Helping residential and commercial properties reduce rising electricity costs

05/06/2025

Big news for renewable energy in Texas. The Texas House has passed HB 3228, a bill mandating that solar and wind projects recycle all components capable of being reused or recycled at the end of their lifecycle. Non-recyclable parts must be properly disposed of.

This legislation aims to address past issues in the wind industry, such as a recycling facility's failure to fulfill its promise to recycle about 5,000 wind turbine blades for General Electric.

Texas, already a leader in solar energy with 41.5 GW installed, is expected to add another 41 GW over the next five years. This bill could set a precedent for other states to follow, ensuring that the growth of renewable energy doesn't come at the expense of environmental responsibility.

What are your thoughts on this development? Should other states implement similar recycling mandates for renewable energy projects?

Still wondering if solar is the right investment for your commercial property? Let's look at the numbers:

Commercial Solar is forecasted to deliver a 10% annualized return, outperforming traditional investments such as US equities (5.7%), developed markets (8.2%), emerging markets (9.0%), and bonds (4.7%).

Meanwhile, commercial electricity rates continue climbing, now ranging from about 12¢ to over 14¢ per kWh across multiple states, with Texas rates steadily approaching 11¢. Solar's Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE)? Still under 6¢ per kWh and decreasing.

Investing in solar isn't just about sustainability—it's a powerful financial decision for your business.

Are you capitalizing on this opportunity yet?

Energy isn’t just a utility line item anymore—it’s a strategic lever.

For industrial and commercial businesses, electricity costs have quietly become one of the most volatile and inflation-prone expenses on the P&L. And the truth is, most companies are overpaying without realizing they have options.

That’s where solar comes in—not as a “green initiative,” but as a financial strategy.

- Reduce OPEX and hedge against rising energy rates
- Improve EBITDA by lowering overhead
- Reinvest savings back into operations, people, or infrastructure
- Take advantage of federal incentives that can cover up to 60% of system costs

I work with businesses every day to turn passive energy expenses into proactive, ROI-generating assets.

If you're curious how this could apply to your facility or operations, I’m happy to analyze your usage and show you what your numbers would look like—no fluff, just data.

Let’s talk numbers, not panels.

Check out this real-time snapshot from a recent customer using the FranklinWH Energy Storage app:

- 80.5 kWh of solar energy produced today
- 37.0 kWh used — all covered without pulling from the grid
- Battery fully charged at 99%
- $25.30 saved today alone
- 2.3 kW exported back to the grid

What does this mean? Energy independence, real-time savings, and a smarter, more resilient home.

It’s one thing to install solar. It’s another to optimize it with storage, intelligent controls, and real-time monitoring. This is the future of home energy.

Would you rather keep paying the utility, or produce your own power and store it?

Curious what your setup could look like? Let’s connect.

In 2024, Texas added nearly 10 GW of solar and over 4 GW of battery storage, outpacing all other power sources. Why? Because demand is rising—and the grid needs reliable, flexible energy.

Key drivers:
- Commercial development
- Data centers & crypto mining
- Population growth + extreme weather

For commercial property owners, this isn’t just about clean energy—it’s about operational resilience, lower lifetime energy costs, and future-proofing assets.

More business owners are asking: “How do we turn energy from an expense into a strategic advantage?”

If you're planning for growth or looking to stabilize long-term costs, solar + storage is worth a serious look.

Texas leads the nation in energy production, but rooftop solar remains an untapped goldmine in a state rich with sunshine.

With grid reliability under constant scrutiny, why aren’t we pushing harder for local, distributed power generation?

Less Strain on the Grid — Local generation reduces transmission congestion and stress, improving reliability.

Disaster Resilience — Decentralized generation means more backup power when the grid fails.

Lower Long-term Costs — Rooftop solar offers energy independence and financial savings over time.

Yet, Texas still lacks strong incentives to promote rooftop solar. While utility-scale solar grows, we’re missing a huge opportunity to enhance grid stability through homeowner and business participation.

What’s holding Texas back? Is it time to rethink our energy strategy?

Drop your thoughts below.

The new Texas Senate Bill 388 aims to bolster grid reliability by requiring at least 50% of new power generation to come from dispatchable sources like natural gas.

But here's the kicker: Battery energy storage is excluded.

In a world where energy resilience matters more than ever, why leave out one of the most flexible, responsive resources we have? Batteries can stabilize the grid in milliseconds—so why aren’t they part of the solution?

Is this bill protecting reliability or just protecting the status quo?

Despite an 11% overall decline in the U.S. distributed solar market last year, Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar installations surged by 18%, proving that businesses are doubling down on renewable energy.

Why the Growth?

-Rising energy costs are pushing businesses to seek long-term savings with solar.

-Sustainability goals are becoming a priority for corporations and commercial properties.

-Federal incentives and tax credits continue to make solar a smart financial move.

With rising interest rates slowing residential solar (down 25%), commercial and industrial projects are stepping up, securing better financing, long-term PPAs, and strategic energy cost reductions.

Are you seeing more businesses and commercial properties turn to solar?

What financing or policy changes could accelerate this trend even further?

How can the industry make C&I solar even more attractive for business owners?

According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), solar energy now accounts for 10.53% of the United States' total installed generating capacity, edging closer to wind energy's 11.77%. This remarkable growth underscores the nation's accelerating shift toward renewable energy.

In January 2025 alone, the U.S. added 2,950 MW of solar capacity, dwarfing the 60 MW added from natural gas. Looking ahead, FERC projects an additional 89 GW of high-probability solar capacity by January 2028, while anticipating nearly 16 GW of natural gas and 25 GW of coal retirements in the same period.

This transition not only highlights environmental benefits but also emphasizes economic opportunities within the renewable sector.

How can businesses and communities leverage this solar surge for economic growth?

What challenges do you foresee in integrating this expanding solar capacity into our existing energy infrastructure?

How can policymakers and industry leaders collaborate to ensure a smooth transition to a sustainable energy future?

Home Battery vs. Generator – Which is the Better Backup?

With power outages on the rise, homeowners have a choice: battery storage or gas generators. Here’s the breakdown:

Batteries: Clean, quiet, and can recharge with solar—plus, they qualify for a 30% federal tax credit.

Generators: Lower upfront cost and can run continuously if fuel is available, but they’re noisy and emit pollutants.

With real-world examples of EV batteries powering homes during disasters, the shift toward battery storage is growing.

Which do you think is the better long-term solution? Have you had experience with either during an outage?

Is Your Business Leaving Money on the Table?

In 2024, 66% of all new electricity in the U.S. came from solar—and businesses are leading the charge. Yet, many commercial properties are still paying skyrocketing energy bills while their competitors lock in long-term savings with solar.

🔹 Would you invest in solar if it meant cutting your energy costs by 30-50%?
🔹 What’s holding you back from making the switch?

Let’s hear it—**drop your biggest concern or question about solar in the comments!**Let’s clear up the misconceptions and talk real numbers.

AI, cloud computing, and streaming are pushing data center energy demand to insane levels. Some reports predict they could outpace entire countries in electricity use.

So here’s the question: Will this explosion in demand fuel more solar and battery adoption, or will fossil fuels make a comeback to keep the grid stable?

Solar + storage sounds like the future… but can it scale fast enough?

Utilities are scrambling—will they lean on natural gas to keep up?

This shift is happening right now, and it’s going to reshape energy markets.

As someone in solar, I see both opportunities and challenges. What do you think—will renewables win this race?
