Faraday Proof
First-ever islandable acute-care hospital microgrid project, and some others.
Faraday’s microgrid portfolio showcases a range of healthcare, institutional, commercial, and industrial energy projects focused on energy resilience, cost savings, and operational continuity. The portfolio includes groundbreaking installations such as the first islandable hospital microgrid in the United States.
Each project highlights a different aspect of microgrid performance, from backup power and grid independence to complex facility integrations and fit-for-purpose energy solutions. As Faraday expands its commercial microgrid deployments, the portfolio continues to grow with new examples of how solar power, battery storage, and intelligent energy controls help businesses operate more efficiently and reliably.
How we organize the proof.
Our microgrid project portfolio is organized by the challenges each project solves, not simply by industry or facility type. This approach makes it easier to find examples that align with your specific goals and priorities.
Whether you’re focused on reducing energy costs and improving operational efficiency, strengthening resilience against utility outages, or solving a complex energy challenge that requires advanced engineering expertise, you’ll find relevant projects that demonstrate how Faraday delivers results. Each case study highlights a different aspect of commercial microgrid design, energy resilience, battery storage integration, and facility-specific energy optimization, helping you evaluate the solutions most relevant to your organization.
Commercial Fit
These projects showcase how commercial microgrids can help businesses reduce energy costs, stabilize utility expenses, and gain reliable backup power, all while avoiding significant upfront capital costs. Most of the projects in this category are currently in development or active engagement and reflect Faraday's growing portfolio of commercial-grade microgrid solutions.
Resilience
Those that have an uptime value proposition. Resilience is the anchor in most Faraday commercial and institutional applications; resilience becomes the core value in many other Faraday commercial applications.
Complexity
New projects where the engineering scope was unique, code-driven, or extended beyond conventional commercial microgrids. This is the place for the first fully islandable hospital microgrid in the acute-care sector. All other Faraday code-driven health-care projects reside in this category.
The portfolio
The commercial proof point and where we’re headed.
The honest framing.
Most commercial microgrid providers in California lead with their commercial projects. Faraday’s story started somewhere even more demanding: hospitals.
Strategic context
Faraday’s project portfolio is anchored on grant-funded and capital-program-funded healthcare and institutional work because that’s where the firm has had the strongest project-development conditions for the past decade. The engineering discipline that built the first islandable acute-care hospital microgrid is the same engineering discipline that anchors our commercial-tier engagements today. The project pipeline for pre-engineered commercial-tier engagements is newer, and most of the commercial pipeline is in development rather than commissioned.
What this means for a commercial visitor
If you are a potential commercial customer in California who is analyzing the feasibility of integrating Faraday into your facility, then here is the bottom line: the success stories that we have had with hospitals and other institutions are evidence of our engineering capabilities. The commercial pipeline that we have is evidence of the pre-engineered commercial solution. This is still very early stages within our commercial pipeline, and this company is focused on developing the pre-engineered commercial offering as its core competency. Ultimately, the question of when to come aboard versus waiting for a closed case study is yours to make – but at least the Feasibility Study is 30 days, fixed fee, and fixed scope.
Forward-looking
The conclusion of commercial-level projects will be added to this list next to the healthcare and institutional anchor tenants. This portfolio is designed for growth as additional projects develop in the project pipeline.
Designed for California commercial and industrial properties at 200 kW and higher peak demand.
What type of project matches your facility?
Now that you’ve made it this far, you know you need to evaluate Faraday for your facility. This portfolio is just one indicator; the next step really depends on the type of facility you are dealing with.
California commercial facility
Examples include cold storage, food processing and manufacturing, bio-tech, and multi-tenant commercial applications—all fall under Faraday’s tier models. Visit either Tiers Hub or the Industry Page.
Hospital, university, or public agency
For the engagement of healthcare and institutions, we will be using another process. Please go to the Healthcare & Institutional page first.
Project I’m not sure about
The organization may not necessarily fall into any single category. We suggest you start with the screening call.
