An Arizona man bought property near the town of Snowflake to build his retirement home. The property had no electrical or water service, so the landowner hired Willis Drilling to drill a water well and install a water pump, water distribution system and solar+energy storage microgrid to provide water and power for both a home built out of steel cargo containers and an orchard on the property.
Willis Drilling engaged Richard Dean at Ameresco Solar to provide the solar equipment and design services.
The microgrid includes 20.3kW of solar power, 24kW of power inverters producing 120/240V AC power for the entire property, and 68kWh of 48V PHI battery energy storage. It is sized to power the water distribution and irrigation system, air conditioning, WiFi, lighting and all amenities for a full-time residential home in a very hot climate.
Willis Drilling, Ameresco Solar, and the landowner chose our trusted storage solutions for their longevity -- even in extreme temperatures. The landowner wanted a solution he wouldn’t have to maintain or replace down the road, and our PHI high-cycle-life batteries delivered.
