Agriculture and irrigation
Deep-well pumps, booster stations, shop loads and a bill that swings with the season.
- Load shape
- Heavy April to September, near zero in winter
- Typical size
- 250 kW DC to 3 MW DC
Sectors we know
Six sectors. Six completely different load shapes.
Solar design is load design. An irrigation account and a cold store both buy electricity and almost nothing else about them is comparable, which is why we specialise by sector rather than by equipment.
- Sectors
- Six
- Counties
- Kern, Tulare, Kings, Fresno
- Starting point
- Interval data
All industries
Cold storage and packing
Refrigeration that never stops, plus a harvest peak that sets the year's demand charge.
- Load shape
- High and flat year-round, sharp peaks at harvest
- Typical size
- 300 kW DC to 2 MW DC
Warehousing and distribution
Large roofs, modest loads and a fleet that is about to become electric.
- Load shape
- Moderate and shift-driven, rising with fleet charging
- Typical size
- 400 kW DC to 2.5 MW DC
Schools and colleges
Summer construction windows, DSA review and shade where people actually stand.
- Load shape
- School-year weekdays, low summer, low weekends
- Typical size
- 150 kW DC to 1.2 MW DC
Food and beverage processing
Process loads, air compressors and a crush season that rewrites the load shape.
- Load shape
- Steady base with an intense seasonal campaign
- Typical size
- 400 kW DC to 3 MW DC
Water districts and municipalities
Lift stations, treatment plants, canal-side land and a public procurement path.
- Load shape
- Continuous treatment plus seasonal pumping
- Typical size
- 200 kW DC to 4 MW DC
Tell us your sector and we will tell you the trap
Every one of these sectors has one design mistake that shows up again and again. We would rather name it before the proposal than explain it afterwards.
