• Maximize production of existing solar system through thorough inspection and maintenance.
• Implement Tesla battery system to power specific appliances (upstairs HVAC unit, big freezer, and lights) using solar energy generated by the existing system.
• Incorporate a manual transfer switch to seamlessly switch to the existing generator when the batteries are depleted.
• Design the system to accommodate future expansion by adding additional batteries without the need to upgrade wires, panels, and other components.

The project began with a thorough inspection of the existing solar system to assess maintenance requirements and identify areas for enhancement.

The project began with a thorough inspection of the existing solar system to assess maintenance requirements and identify areas for enhancement. In the event of a grid power outage, the project involved utilizing four Tesla batteries to power specific circuits in the Saloon. Once the battery charge depleted, a manual transfer switch was activated to seamlessly switch to the existing generator, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to the Saloon. Additionally, a separate small generator with a manual transfer switch, located in the wellhouse, was utilized to power the well pump as needed.

Through careful evaluation and planning, the project team implemented necessary measures to optimize power usage during grid disruptions.

The project not only focused on addressing power outage scenarios but also aimed to enhance the overall efficiency and resilience of the system. Through careful evaluation and planning, the project team implemented necessary measures to optimize power usage during grid disruptions. By leveraging the Tesla batteries and the manual transfer switches, the system was able to provide reliable and uninterrupted power to the Saloon and ensure the functionality of critical equipment such as the well pump. The project successfully enhanced the system’s capability to handle heavy power usage and effectively manage grid outages, bringing increased efficiency and peace of mind to the farm.
