About The Project

In this high-profile residential project, NeighborSun implemented an advanced Solar Battery Storage system designed to provide total independence from the power grid. Faced with growing energy instability in Los Angeles, we installed a state-of-the-art lithium battery bank that allows the homeowner to store surplus solar energy generated during the day for use at night or during unexpected blackouts.

The technical integration performed by NeighborSun included a critical loads panel, ensuring that essential appliances—refrigeration, security systems, and lighting—remain active without interruption. This energy storage system not only offers peace of mind but also optimizes grid usage by taking advantage of Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, significantly reducing the monthly electricity cost.

By combining high-efficiency solar panels with smart storage technology, NeighborSun has transformed this property into a resilient home. Battery storage systems are now the gold standard in California to combat grid fluctuations and maximize the return on investment of any solar PV system.

Advanced Energy Resilience

Our team of experts at NeighborSun manages the entire configuration of the energy management software, allowing clients to monitor their energy flow in real-time from their mobile devices. With this Solar Battery Storage system, the client now has absolute control over how and when they consume their own clean energy, contributing to a more sustainable future in Los Angeles.

The Challenge Of The Project

The primary technical challenge at this Santa Monica location was integration with an aging electrical system. NeighborSun performed a complete Main Panel Upgrade (MPU) and designed a discrete mounting system for the batteries that complied with the city's strict aesthetic and fire regulations. The result is a seamless installation that combines safety, aesthetics, and high technology.
