Topanga Ranch Solar & Battery
Post-fire energy build on a Topanga horse ranch — custom solar canopy, dual battery stack, and smart panels that cut the Edison bill automatically.
Solar Canopy & Battery Stack
We built a custom structural steel solar canopy to house a 10KW ground-mount array — covered storage below, power generation above. Dual PointGuard Energy battery units sit directly under the panels, charged continuously and capable of sustaining the ranch through multi-day outages.
TOU Optimization on Autopilot
A Span smart panel ties everything together. It charges batteries during off-peak hours and automatically draws from storage during peak SCE rate windows — cutting the monthly utility bill without any manual input. Outage protection and ongoing bill savings in a single system.

The custom 10KW ground-mount solar canopy — a structural steel build designed to double as covered storage while generating the full power profile of the ranch.
Dual PointGuard Energy battery units tucked beneath the solar canopy — charged directly by the array above and ready to carry the ranch through extended outages.
The battery enclosure integrated into the canopy structure — steel mesh fencing keeps the hardware protected while maintaining airflow and accessibility.
Inside the canopy — the full system in context. Solar panels overhead, inverter and battery stack below, all within a single purpose-built steel structure.
