Phelan, CA

Ground mount90 kWh backup

Eighty 440-watt bifacial panels on ground mount, running two EG4 GridBoss controllers and 18KPV inverters so the house and the shop building each have their own supply, with 90 kWh of battery backing both. Bifacial panels pick up light reflected off the desert floor as well as direct sun, which is why they earn their keep on an open lot like this.

Ground mount on a hillside lot, fenced, with its own step-down transformer and service equipment under a purpose-built shelter. The photos run from posts and racking through to the finished array.

Ground mount2 × EG4 14.3 kWh · 28.6 kWh

Ground mount with partial home backup, a new service panel upgrade, and a shade cover we framed and roofed so the inverter and batteries are not sitting in full desert sun. Equipment that stays cooler lasts longer — that cover is not decoration.

Electrical serviceApril 2025

Step-down transformer feeding a new 225-amp sub service for a shop building. This is the unglamorous work that decides whether a solar or ADU project can go ahead at all — if the service will not carry the load, nothing else matters.

60kWh

Battery storage12 × Enphase IQ Battery 5P

Partial home backup built from twelve Enphase IQ Battery 5P units — five kilowatt-hours each, sixty in total. Partial backup means the critical loads stay up when the grid goes down: the refrigerator, the well, the furnace, a few circuits that matter, rather than paying to carry the whole house.

Roof mountApril 2022

Our largest documented system. A full tile-roof array on a Colorado River home, laid out to run the length of the ridge and take the whole southern exposure.

Roof mount20 kWh battery

Solar paired with whole-home battery backup, retrofitted alongside an existing legacy inverter. This is the configuration that makes sense under current net billing — you keep your own production for the expensive hours instead of exporting it cheap.

Hesperia, CA

Roof mountJuly 2022

Two-story tile roof, array split across two planes to catch the best exposure on each.

Roof mountJuly 2022

Barrel tile roof worked around vents and valleys rather than forcing a single rectangle onto it.

Roof mountSeptember 2021

Posted with an invitation we'd stand behind: reach out for advice on going solar, and expect honest, reliable industry information whether or not you buy.

Phelan, CA

Roof mountMarch 2021

One of several Phelan systems in the same stretch of 2021 — this corner of the High Desert has the irradiance to make a system this size pay.

Roof mountSeptember 2021

A full south-facing tile roof array on a single-story home.

Ground mountSeptember 2021

Ground mount on open desert lot. Everything on this job was done in house — the reason we can take thousands out of a system's cost is that there is no chain of subcontractors marking each other up.

New constructionMarch 2022

Solar designed into a house from the start rather than added afterward — the cheapest moment to run conduit is before the drywall goes on.
