What BNV Was Asked to Solve

The customer needed solar and battery backup equipment to be planned as one electrical scope. The project had to account for rooftop solar work, battery equipment, critical loads, and the existing panel setup.

BNV treated the work as a coordinated system rather than a collection of separate equipment pieces. That is especially important when backup switching and panel compatibility shape the final installation path.

Planning Around Existing Conditions

The electrical plan had to respect the property’s existing conditions and the backup-power goals. BNV reviewed how the solar and FranklinWH battery equipment would connect, where routing made sense, and how the panel would support the scope.

Built for Serviceability

BNV’s work tied the solar and battery backup pieces together with attention to equipment access and long-term clarity. A clean project is not only about what is installed; it is also about whether the system can be understood and serviced later.

This project gives BNV a strong proof point for customers looking at solar + battery backup in Gilroy and nearby Santa Clara County communities.

The Takeaway

The project shows how solar, battery equipment, critical-load planning, and panel compatibility come together when backup power is planned as a complete electrical scope.
