TEXAS POWER BACK UP PROGRAM

A new 2025 program in Texas helps homeowners get a solar and battery backup system with $0 upfront cost, ensuring their homes stay powered for essential needs during multi-day outages — all while lowering monthly energy bills.

PROGRAM BENEFITS

Backup power is essential for keeping your home and family safe during multi-day power outages, ensuring you can still run critical necessities like heating, cooling, refrigeration, and medical devices. Having a reliable backup system provides peace of mind, knowing your household stays powered, comfortable, and protected when the grid goes down.


The Texas Home Back Up Program makes getting reliable solar and battery backup power easier than ever — with $0 down and no upfront costs. Where traditional installs require large down payments and high fees, this program lets homeowners get a full backup system installed with a simple bill swap from their current electric provider to solar. Your monthly payment stays about the same, but your energy rate is locked in for years, protecting you from rising utility costs and helping you see long-term monthly savings over time.


Unlike traditional solar programs that require financing or loans, the Texas Home Back Up Program makes it easy for homeowners to qualify without taking out a loan or going through a credit check. This statewide initiative is available to any Texas homeowner, allowing them to get a complete solar and battery backup system with $0 upfront through a simple bill swap from their current utility provider to solar. It’s the fastest, most affordable way to protect your home with reliable backup power—no debt, no credit requirements, just long-term energy security and savings.


ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

In response to the disastrous power outages that swept Texas in February 2021— when more than 4.5 million customers lost electricity for days, leaving many Texans in freezing homes, without water, heat, or essential services, and with an estimated death toll of 246 people or more  — our new Texas Home Back Up program offers a resilient solution for homeowners. Designed to ensure Texans never face that level of vulnerability again, the program provides a solar-plus-battery backup system with $0 out of pocket and no credit check required. Instead of applying through traditional financing, homeowners simply perform a bill swap— moving from their current utility provider to solar—keeping roughly the same monthly budget, but gaining a clean, reliable power source that protects against multi-day outages. Funded through Lux Financial and fulfilled by locally vetted contractors under the oversight of TEEP, Texas Home Back Up makes securing backup energy for your home seamless, affordable, and dependable.

We at the Texas Energy Efficiency Program partnered with Lux Financial to bring Texans access to one of the most flexible and innovative home energy programs available. Lux, recognized as one of the top financiers in the industry and featured by Business Insider, Apple News, and CEO Weekly, provides the trusted financial foundation that makes it possible to offer Texans reliable solar and backup power solutions with $0 upfront cost.
