Project Overview
Breanna wanted to lower her electric bills while gaining the peace of mind that comes with battery backup during utility outages. This Palmdale home received a custom-designed system combining a premium solar array with Enphase battery storage to maximize savings and energy independence.
The 8.6 kW solar system generates approximately 13,000 kWh per year under typical Southern California conditions, while the 20 kWh Enphase battery provides backup power and peak-hour load shifting to reduce expensive utility charges.
Throughout the 4.5-month project timeline, Breanna remained engaged and satisfied with the workmanship. Her feedback highlighted the professional installation quality and ongoing support from the Green Additions team.
