Large lots, long driveways and a lot of well pumps. Backup sizing looks different when losing power means losing water.

Niwot and GunbarrelWhat we have learned here
Working in Niwot and Gunbarrel
- 01
Well pumps have high starting current. A 1.5 hp submersible can surge past 7 kW, which sets the battery inverter class before daily kWh does.
- 02
Detached garages and barns often have their own subpanels and sometimes their own meters, which changes both the array siting and the interconnection.
- 03
Outages out here run longer than in Boulder proper, so two battery modules is a more common recommendation than one.
- 04
Large, unshaded roofs with room for 10 kW DC or more. Export value rather than roof area becomes the limiting factor.
