Sustainable Living Builders

SOLAR POWER STORAGE FOR OPTIMIZED HOME/BUILDING ENERGY.

We are committed to helping you reduce your reliance on the grid and get the most out of your solar solutions.

WHY STORE SOLAR ENERGY ?

In our quest for sustainable energy solutions, energy storage has emerged as a critical component. Batteries allow you to store energy harvested by solar solutions to use at any hour of the day or when the grid goes down. Our team will look at your energy demands and design a system that will match your energy demands and budget. 

  • Harvest and store energy to use when the sun isn’t shining or the grid is down 
  • Harvest energy when you aren’t home and store it to use when you are 
  • Lower your energy bill 
  • Avoid Peak Pricing 
  • Lower your carbon footprint

WHAT ARE YOU ENERGY STORAGE BASICS

Tesla Powerwall 3:

  • Affordable price.
  • High output of up to 11kW to handle high electrical needs at one time.
  • High capacity of 13.5 kWh- your battery won’t waste energy your solar system harvests.
  • Excellent app features that let you control how much energy you store and when you use it to keep bills as low as possible

Enphase:

  • Founded in California.
  • Stackable 3.3 kWh units to optimize battery capacity for your needs and budget.
  • Visibility to how much each segment of the solar system is generating to quickly pinpoint if any parts of the solar system need maintenance or repairs.
  • Micro-inverters on each segment of the solar system to prevent negative chain reactions from shade or panel dysfunctions.
  • Built-in plug for a generator to be attached to the system.
  • App to customize energy usage

ENERGY STORAGE BASICS

Kilowatt (kW): This is power and corresponds to the flow of electricity being generated or used. Every appliance in your home runs on watts or killowatts. 1 kW is equal to 1000 W. 

Kilowatt-hour (kWh): This is energy and how much energy is being generated, stored, or used over time. This is the measurement that the utility companies use to charge you. 

If you have a lightbulb that requires 60 w and it runs for 1 hour, that equates to 60 kWh. 

Our team has a deep understanding of this and can explain it using your historic electrical usage and potential electrical needs to make sure that you are getting the most from your system and aren’t overpaying for components that won’t work up or down stream.

WHY CHOOSE US

We want you to get the most out of your solar system. We are invested in reducing reliability on the grid and fossil-fuels. As a Sonoma County, family-owned company, we know what it’s like to have our power turned off due to inclement weather, causing us to lose refrigerated/frozen food, not be able to take warm showers, and not be able to use our heaters. Energy costs continue to rise, making it harder for people to live or operate in Northern California. We want to help our community thrive and that means saving money and reducing reliability on the grid. 

 

We are transparent in our calculations for how we determine what your energy storage options are. We are here to explain the nuances of energy storage and the technology advancements. We look at your system holistically to make sure you’re optimizing your energy options. We are a one-stop-shop and continue to be a resource to you, long after our installations are completed.
