Groundmount Solar with x3 Franklin aPower 2 Batteries

Project Summary

This project merged residential solar energy production with a Level 2 EV charging solution. The ground mount solar array was designed to not only offset household energy usage but also provide clean power for the client’s electric vehicle, lowering overall transportation and utility costs.

Our Approach

We conducted a combined analysis of household usage and EV charging patterns. The solar system was sized accordingly, and a smart charger was installed to prioritize daytime charging from solar production. All components were installed together to ensure seamless energy flow and grid interaction.

Challenges

Two days of equipment digging into the earth was not easy. Additionally the county required septic system to be called out on our design plans, yet the county did not have any updated record of the septic system since 1977 - it was quite a hurdle to locate the leach field, expansion area etc without prior diagrams but we got it done!
