Recent work around Austin

Westlake — whole-home battery that works with the existing generator
Two FranklinWH aPower 2 batteries (30 kWh) and an aGate X that takes over from the old transfer switch. The house switches to battery with no blink, and the aGate starts the existing 24 kW Generac to carry a long outage. Plans approved; installing this fall.

East Austin — FranklinWH battery added to existing solar
A FranklinWH battery and aGate X added to a home that already had solar, with the solar re-tied through the aGate so it keeps charging the battery in an outage. Permitted through the City of Austin; approved September 2026.

Lakeway area — solar reconnected after a generator install
Another contractor installed a standby generator and left the solar disconnected. We reconnected it on the supply side, to code, and checked the system end to end.

Austin — Enphase system underproducing
A diagnostic on an Enphase system making less than it should: microinverters, combiner and monitoring checked, with a written finding and a price before any repair.

Solar installs across Austin and Pflugerville, 2021–2023
Aether-installed Enphase systems with commissioning records on file. We still service them.

Austin specifics we handle for you

• Austin Energy or PEC? Inside the city and in parts of western Travis County (including Westlake) it’s Austin Energy, which reviews battery and generator plans before they go in. Lakeway, Bee Cave and much of the Hill Country edge are Pedernales Electric. We check which one serves your address and handle the paperwork.
• Who issues the permit? City of Austin Development Services inside the city; Travis County, Westlake Hills, Rollingwood and Lakeway each have their own process outside it. We find out before we quote.
• Older homes. Plenty of Austin houses still have 100 A panels or brands that are no longer made. We check the panel first, so a battery or EV charger never gets quoted on a panel that can’t carry it.

Questions Austin homeowners ask

Do you charge to come out? A diagnostic visit has a set fee, and we tell you what it is before we book. When a repair is needed, you get the price before we start.

Battery or generator? A battery switches over with no blink and makes no noise; a generator runs as long as there’s gas. In Westlake we’re installing both on one house, so the battery covers the blink and the generator covers the long outage. Whole-home backup

My solar company is gone. Can you help? Yes. That’s a big part of our Austin solar work. Orphaned solar service
