Northridge Solar Project

Project Overview

US POWER completed a solar system expansion for a homeowner in Northridge, CA, adding six new Qcells solar panels and integrating solar storage batteries to boost energy independence and overall system performance. This upgrade enhances the home’s ability to store excess energy for use during peak hours or grid outages, providing both financial savings and backup power reliability.

System Specifications & Key Components

• Expansion Type: 6-panel system addition to an existing solar setup.
• Solar Panels: Premium Qcells modules engineered for high output and long-term durability.
• Battery Storage: Integrated energy storage system designed to store excess solar production for use during nighttime or utility interruptions.
• Inverter & System Integration: The new panels were seamlessly connected with the existing inverter configuration and electrical system for maximum efficiency.

Project Highlights

• Enhanced Energy Capacity: The additional six panels increase total system production, allowing the homeowner to offset a larger portion of electricity consumption.
• Battery-Backed Reliability: The newly added solar storage batteries provide reliable backup power during outages and reduce dependence on grid energy during peak rate periods.
• Permitting & Compliance: US POWER handled full permitting, inspection, and interconnection with the local utility to ensure safe and compliant integration.
• Seamless Integration: The expansion was designed to merge seamlessly with the original system, using compatible components and maintaining a uniform appearance.
