Best Ranch, Woodland, CA - August 23, 2016

Best Ranch in Woodland California is over 160 acres. Best Tractors merged with Holt Manufacturing in 1910 to become Caterpillar. Dan Best II is the grandson of the founder of Best Tractors. He was recognized as the 2013 Agribusiness Person of the Year by the Woodland Chamber. http://www.dailydemocrat.com/article/ZZ/20131021/NEWS/131026358

North State Solar Energy has successfully completed the 590 KW DC solar project at the Best Ranch in Woodland, California. NSSE installed a 25 KW DC system at his personal residence. Dan and Best Ranch were strongly committed to using Made In USA products and wanted the assurances of the Enphase, Solar World and NSSE warranties. This system utilizes 2070 Solar World modules, each equipped with an Enphase American Pride M-250 micro-inverter.

This system will save Best Ranch an estimated $98,000 in year one of operation at the Ranch. It is divided into six sub- arrays, each connected as an individual NEM project, insuring the maximum financial benefit over a twenty year NEM contract period with PG&E. The sub arrays include three ground mount facilities and three roof- mount facilities. The expected total generation of energy in year one will exceed 870,000 kWh, and will be monitored using the Enlighten internet based monitoring system, allowing module -level reporting and analysis of system operations. This project is one of the largest privately -owned micro-inverter based solar facilities in the United States, and represents a cutting- edge approach to solar design.
