Milestone Solar helped a customer in Lewisburg, West Virginia, install an off-grid ground-mount solar panel system with battery backup for his home.

Challenge

The property owner, Steve, faced a significant challenge when setting up his new home on a 30- acre property in rural West Virginia. The nearest electrical connection was over 2,000 yards away, making traditional grid connection expensive. Instead of paying so much to connect to the grid, Steve wanted to consider solar panels to generate electricity independently on his property.

Solution

After researching online and contacting several solar providers, Steve chose Milestone Solar for his off-grid residential solar solution. Impressed by the knowledge and openness of Bill at Milestone Solar, Steve felt confident in his decision.

Milestone Solar provided and installed an off-grid, ground-mount solar system consisting of:

• 32 REC solar panels
• 1 Sol-Ark inverter
• 4 Simpliphi batteries

The Milestone Solar team managed the entire installation process, strategically placing the ground-mount system on Steve’s property to maximize solar energy capture.

Results

The off-grid solar installation allowed Steve to power his rural home without the need for an expensive grid connection. By investing in this residential solar solution, Steve is now positioned to reap long-term benefits, both financially and in terms of energy independence.

Steve is very happy with his new solar system and has nothing but good things to say about Milestone Solar. “The entire staff was extremely supportive throughout the installation process,” says Steve.
