California commercial and industrial Microgrids
Lower your energy expense. Lock in the price. Backup included.
You are already buying power, Why pay so much for it?
A Faraday Endurance microgrid under PPA or lease means you buy power at a lower fixed cost and get backup power in a single budget item, at no additional capex or on your balance sheet.
Productized commercial microgrids for California sites at roughly 200 kW peak demand and above.
A microgrid is not a capital project. It’s the same energy line item, paid at a lower, locked-in rate, with backup.
A majority of many California commercial buyers view microgrids as a cost project, capital investment, batteries, PV, generator, return on investment. The reason most buyer interactions do not work out. Six-year paybacks are not enough to beat the current capital spend.
Most are, quite rightfully, out at that stage. In comparison, under PPA or equipment lease, the Faraday Endurance microgrid is an opex, not a capex, it is simply a transfer from one operating cost (which you pay the local utility every month forever) to a lower cost and more certain one to Faraday, with resilience built into the line item for energy.
No capital required for two desired outcomes.
How a Faraday Engagement Starts
Free Screening Call
Free 30-minute call to see if your facility is a fit for a Faraday microgrid. No cost. No obligation.
Feasibility Study
A 30-day fixed-fee study that reviews your energy needs, costs, incentives, and financing options, then delivers a clear go/no-go recommendation. The fee is fully credited if you proceed with installation.
Build & Operate
Faraday designs, builds, and maintains your system. With a PPA or lease, you make one simple payment while Faraday handles the rest.
Faraday Endurance provides solar, battery storage, and 4–12 hours of backup power with and one operating expense.
Lower energy operating costs and keep selected critical loads running through 4–12 hour grid outages that are paid as one operating expense via PPA or equipment lease with no capex required.
Works alongside your existing generator, helping it run less often.
ITC §48E eligible at 30% through 2033, if construction is commenced or safe-harbored by July 6, 2026.
Get a clear, install-ready plan in 30 days instead of waiting months for a complex engineering study.
Designed for California commercial and industrial sites at roughly 200 kW peak demand and above.
Buy it as an operating expense. Not a capital project.
Most Faraday commercial installations are purchased through a Power Purchase Agreement: Faraday owns and operates the system; the host pays a per-kWh rate for what’s produced and consumed on-site. Equipment lease is available where the host’s tax appetite or ownership preference makes that structure better. Cash purchase is available for buyers who specifically want to own the asset directly. Every Faraday Feasibility Study compares all three structures with site-specific economics.
First islandable acute-care microgrid in the United States.
Contributions to National Electrical Code changes governing microgrid installations.
Productized commercial offering with a fixed-scope, fixed-fee Feasibility Study.
California-licensed and California-focused.
Faraday’s hospital pedigree includes the first islandable acute-care microgrid in the U.S. and contributions to NEC code changes governing microgrid installations. If Faraday can deliver an islandable Level 1 trauma center, a commercial Endurance install is a smaller, more constrained version of work we have already executed.
Five California verticals where Endurance fits.
Cold Storage
High demand-charge exposure. Low tolerance for spoilage during outages.
Food Processing
Continuous-process operations where downtime carries spoilage and reorder risk.
Biotech & Pharma
High-stakes environments where outage costs escalate fast.
Manufacturing & Multi-tenant
Demand-charge-heavy facilities where uptime drives revenue.
Healthcare & Institutional
Where Faraday’s pedigree began. Grant-funded and institutional work.
