When Jillian of Gaston, Oregon, started exploring solar, she wasn’t just looking for panels; she had a clear set of goals and wanted a system that would make a real difference in her day-to-day life.
Jillian came to Green Ridge Solar with three priorities:
- Reduce her energy bills
- Stay protected during power outages
- Lower her carbon footprint
The Solution: Solar + Battery Backup
We designed and installed a solar + battery backup system to help Jillian meet all three goals, both now and long into the future.
1) Lower bills (and more control over the future)
Jillian’s solar system is designed to cover nearly all of her energy needs, helping reduce reliance on the utility and protecting her from future rate increases.
2) Backup power when outages hit
With battery backup installed, Jillian has protection during outages, keeping essential loads powered when the grid goes down.
3) Added protection against TOU pricing
In addition to outage coverage, Jillian’s battery helps her avoid higher-cost peak energy rates under Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing, shifting usage to reduce exposure to those more expensive hours.
Estimated Savings
With her solar panels and battery backup, Jillian is expected to save an est. $80,000!!! That’s not even including future utility rate increases.
As utility companies raise rates, Jillian won’t have to worry. She’s producing her own power. And because she has energy storage, she can also fight back against Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing schemes. So she is protected on both fronts!
Jillian’s Experience
Jillian was super impressed by her experience with Green Ridge Solar. She was especially thankful for the level of communication and quality service throughout the process of sales, permitting, and installation.
“I loved the whole experience from Jarrell’s educational and low-pressure intro to Jason’s install quality and Kalista’s project communication.”
