Project Goals
Chris Fortuna and his wife embarked on an ambitious project to build a fully electric, self-sufficient home in Southern California's high desert. Their vision was to create a sustainable, utility-free property powered entirely by the abundant desert sunshine. Choosing the right solar installer was critical to making their dream home a reality.
The Solution
After extensive research into solar providers, Chris and his wife selected Option One Solar to design and install a system tailored to their unique needs. Recognizing the importance of maximizing energy production, they opted to scale up from their original design to install the most robust solar system their budget allowed.
The Outcome
The results exceeded expectations. The Fortunas' solar system now produces more energy daily than their home consumes, even with all systems running simultaneously. This surplus energy has resulted in consistent negative electric bills - a significant milestone in achieving true energy independence.
The Experience
Chris described Option One Solar as one of the most professional businesses he has ever worked with. The installation process was smooth, and while some technical issues arose after the system went live, Option One Solar promptly resolved them with excellent communication and unwavering support. For Chris, the team's professionalism and reliability made them a standout partner during the house-building process.
