- Off-Grid Power for San Francisco’s First Street Tree Nursery
Objective
Solution
Project Overview
- Location: San Francisco, California
- System Components: 1x Sol-Ark 30K Hybrid inverter, 12x Deka Duration HV ESS (Energy Storage Systems)
- System Capacity: 30 kWac output with 62 kWh storage
- Solar Array: 30 kWdc
- Back Generator: None
- Application: Off-grid power for the nursery and educational center
Outcome
The final installation enhances the nursery’s sustainability by addressing two major aspects of environmental impact. Firstly, the Sol-Ark system reduces the carbon footprint traditionally associated with conventional energy sources while delivering reliable energy that is crucial for the daily operations of the nursery and its educational programs. Secondly, the nursery itself contributes to a greener urban environment by decreasing the operational and environmental costs associated with transporting nursery stock from distant locations. This localized approach not only reduces emissions from transportation but also supports the city’s broader sustainability goals.
Together, these elements make the project an example for cities worldwide, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating solar power with eco-conscious operational practices to achieve comprehensive sustainability objectives. The nursery, powered by Sol-Ark’s dependable technology, not only operates more sustainably but also serves as a valuable community resource, providing training and career pathways in green jobs.
