Project overview
Boulder Garden
"Boulder Garden" serves a traditional brick residence with an attached two-car garage and a private garden wrapping around the side and rear of the home. The property required a practical backup system that could be incorporated without changing its understated residential character.
The completed system places 79.5 kWh of battery storage inside the garage and pairs it with a 6.5 kW solar array. Thirty-six loads are coordinated across the 200A service, allowing household demand to adapt to available battery capacity during an outage.
