Case Study: San Francisco Department of Public Works achieves off-grid nursery power and utility cost savings with Sol-Ark

DPW avoids over $60,000 in utility costs with Sol-Ark off-grid solar

The San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) faced the challenge of powering its First Street Tree Nursery without incurring the substantial cost of extending utility lines. The project also needed to align with the city's sustainability goals and provide reliable power for the nursery's educational programs. They chose Sol-Ark to provide an off-grid energy solution using its 30K commercial hybrid inverter.

Sol-Ark implemented a system featuring a 30kW solar array and a 62 kWh battery storage unit. This solution saved the customer over $60,000 in avoided utility costs, significantly reduced the site's carbon footprint, and enabled the nursery to operate sustainably as a model for urban environmental progress.
