Clear Lake, TX
Home battery backup along the NASA corridor
Clear Lake anchors the Bay Area corridor between Houston and Galveston, surrounding Johnson Space Center. Coastal storm exposure is real here, with Ike, Harvey, and Beryl all leaving multi-day outages across the area. Eos installs automatic battery systems that ride out the entire restoration window.
Why Clear Lake is buying batteries
Clear Lake sits in evacuation zones for major hurricanes, and the homes that did not evacuate during Ike, Harvey, and Beryl all faced extended outages. Storm surge from a Category 4 hurricane can reach far inland along Clear Creek and the Clear Lake shoreline. Battery interest in the area has stayed strong since 2017.
Many Clear Lake homes have backup-relevant loads that go beyond the standard fridge-and-Wi-Fi profile: dialysis machines, CPAP, oxygen concentrators, and refrigerated medications are common in this area’s aging-in-place population. A battery handles all of these automatically, and our smart panel prioritizes critical loads first if the battery enters reserve.
For waterfront homes, batteries also support boat lifts, dock lighting, and lift station pumps. Each install is sized to the actual load profile of the home rather than a generic template.
How the system works
Automatic protection
When the grid goes down, the battery switches on in under 20 milliseconds. No manual action required.
Sized for medical loads
Dialysis, CPAP, oxygen, and refrigerated medications are common backup loads here. The smart panel prioritizes them first.
Permits handled
We file with the City of Houston (Clear Lake City) or the local Bay Area municipality and submit the CenterPoint interconnection notification.

Common questions from Clear Lake homeowners
Is Clear Lake part of Houston?
Most of Clear Lake (officially Clear Lake City) was annexed by the City of Houston, so residential electrical permits go through the City of Houston. The surrounding Bay Area communities of El Lago, Nassau Bay, and Seabrook have their own permit offices. Our team identifies the correct jurisdiction at the site visit.
How does coastal storm exposure affect Clear Lake batteries?
Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Harvey in 2017 both caused major Bay Area outages and storm surge. For homes in evacuation zones or near the bay, we follow FEMA guidance and elevate equipment above finished floor elevation. The smart panel and controller are placed in interior or elevated garage spaces to keep them above expected surge levels.
Does NASA grid infrastructure differ from the rest of Houston?
No. Residential CenterPoint feeders in Clear Lake operate the same way as the rest of the Houston metro. The proximity to NASA / Johnson Space Center does not put homes on a special grid. The same restoration priorities apply during major events.
Did Hurricane Beryl affect Clear Lake?
Yes. Beryl hit the Bay Area corridor in July 2024 and caused multi-day outages across Clear Lake, Friendswood, and League City. Restoration in some Clear Lake pockets ran 5 to 8 days. Battery interest has remained elevated since.
