Power for the places worth protecting.
Conservation sites, research stations, and public-land facilities need reliable power and water without dragging in the grid. NewGrid builds systems that serve remote natural places while keeping the footprint small.
The most remote sites are often the ones worth keeping wild.
Visitor centers, research plots, and observation sites sit on land where running a utility line isn't an option or isn't wanted. These sites still need power, and often water, delivered reliably and unobtrusively. NewGrid designs and builds standalone solar-and-storage systems for conservation and public-land work, with the ongoing service to keep them running.
Conservation and public-land sites we've powered.
Grand Canyon Water-Pumping Site
Remote overlook and observation points requiring water and power from standalone systems. NewGrid delivered roughly 400 kWh of lithium storage plus solar, communications, and distribution upgrades.

Horseshoe Bend Visitor Center
The visitor center, parking facilities, and overlook at one of the Southwest's most-visited natural wonders, powered entirely off-grid by a NewGrid-designed-and-built system.

University Test-Crop Site
A government-operated agricultural test site and working ranch, built to handle irrigation water pumping alongside its energy needs.

Power and water together.
Many conservation sites need both. We engineer the pumping and the electrical as one system.
A light footprint.
Standalone solar keeps utility lines and generators off sensitive land, with minimal disturbance.
Kept running remotely.
We monitor and service these sites so a failure in a remote place doesn't go unnoticed.
