Solar PV + Battery Storage EPC · Installing since 2008
Border Energy Group engineers, procures, and builds on-site solar and battery storage for school districts, municipalities, and businesses across West Texas and Southern New Mexico — then stays on to keep it producing.
Who we serve
Every project we take is a commercial account with a single point of accountability — design, equipment, construction, inspection, and long-term service under one contract.
We work inside the rules your budget lives by: procurement codes, prevailing wage, bond and lease-purchase timelines, and board-ready savings analysis.
Warehouses, cold storage, manufacturing, and border logistics facilities where demand charges and outages both cost real money.
A solar and storage package your sales team can actually sell — priced at cost-plus, installed by your existing electrical trade, with no dealer fees stacked on top.

Featured project · Commercial office · 1790 Lee Trevino Dr, El Paso
A 257.3 kW DC solar carport system serving a multi-tenant office building on El Paso's east side, owned by The Broker Co. Rather than compete for roof area on an occupied building, the array was built over the parking field — which shades tenant vehicles and puts generation directly alongside the load it serves.
525 modules across six carport segments, five inverters, and a load ratio of 1.03. The system covers roughly 40% of the building's annual electricity consumption, during the hours the building is occupied and the utility charges the most.
Featured project · Higher education · El Paso, TX
UTEP's first solar installation on campus: a 185 kW system combining a rooftop array on the Student Recreation Center with a parking canopy at the Facilities Services Building. The university funded it through a $1 million Distributed Renewable Energy Technology grant from the Texas State Energy Conservation Office, matched with its own Green Fund.
We were selected as the local installation partner alongside McCormick Architecture and McArch Construction, coordinating with more than half a dozen contractors and university departments against a grant deadline. The rooftop portion had a hard window of two days to set every panel. We made it, on budget.
Resilience
The question is not what backup power costs. It is what an hour of downtime costs you — and on the Borderland, you are going to find out several times a summer whether you have planned for it or not.
One outage during a heat event can cost more than the system that would have prevented it.
Spoiled inventory. Idled crews still on the clock. A production line restarted cold. A campus sent home for the day. None of it appears on your utility bill, which is exactly why it goes unbudgeted.
