The challenge
Legendary real estate, no traditional utilities.
Hollister Ranch parcels come with legendary surf and no utilities. This Santa Barbara estate needed full off-grid power built for coastal conditions.
What we built
A power system for a coastal estate.
NewGrid designed, engineered, and built the plant: 30 kW of solar, a 250 kWh C&D VRLA battery bank, and 21 kW of Schneider inverters, backed by a 60 kW propane generator.

The outcome
