San Francisco First Street Tree Nursery

Overview

A municipal tree nursery program supports San Francisco's urban-forest goals with Sol-Ark powered solar and storage.

The challenge

San Francisco Public Works' Street Tree Nursery needed reliable on-site energy to support irrigation, lighting, and operational equipment as part of the city's climate-resilience initiative.

The solution

A Sol-Ark commercial hybrid system delivers clean energy to the nursery's daily operations, with battery storage to ride through outages and shift load away from peak periods.

Results

  • Reliable on-site energy for nursery operations
  • Supports the city's climate and workforce goals
  • Low operating cost over the system lifetime
