The challenge
Mature oaks shaded the roof most of the afternoon, and a 1.5 HP well pump meant losing water during every outage.
Our solution
We placed a ground-mount array in an open pasture 140 feet from the house and paired it with two batteries sized for the well pump's startup surge.
The results
- Water and power through three PSPS events in 2025
- Monthly bill down from $388 to $34
- No trees removed
"We used to fill bathtubs before every red flag warning. Not anymore."
