Faraday Proof
The first islandable acute-care hospital microgrid. And the projects behind it.
Faraday’s project portfolio anchors on grant-funded and capital-program-funded healthcare and institutional work — including the first islandable acute-care hospital microgrid in the United States. The portfolio below is organized by what each project proves: commercial fit, resilience, or complexity. As Faraday’s commercial-tier engagements close, the portfolio fills out the commercial-fit dimension.
California-focused. Surgeon-owner-led. Mazzetti as engineering partner.
How we organize the proof.
Project pages are tagged by what each project proves — not just by what facility it’s at. A visitor evaluating Faraday is making a decision against one of three patterns: do you fit the commercial-buyer profile, do you have a resilience-exposure profile, or do you have a complexity profile that demands engineering depth? The portfolio below is filterable on those three dimensions.
Commercial Fit
Projects where the value proposition is lower energy cost, more predictable cost, and backup power as an operating expense — the pre-engineered commercial-tier reality. Most projects in this category are in-development or under-engagement as Faraday’s commercial-pivot pipeline matures.
Resilience
Projects where the value proposition is uptime and grid-event continuity. Most Faraday healthcare and institutional engagements carry strong resilience proof anchors; many commercial projects also surface resilience as a primary value driver.
Complexity
Projects where the engineering scope was novel, code-driving, or beyond standard commercial microgrid scope. The first islandable acute-care hospital microgrid sits here. Most other Faraday code-driving healthcare and institutional engagements do too.
The portfolio
The commercial proof point — what we’re building toward.
The honest framing.
Most California commercial microgrid firms lead with their commercial portfolio. Faraday leads with a hospital. That’s not by accident — and it’s not the full story.
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 — but 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’re a California commercial buyer evaluating Faraday for your facility, the honest version is this: our hospital and institutional portfolio proves the engineering. Our commercial pipeline proves the pre-engineered commercial offering. We’re early in the commercial cycle, and we’re committed to making the pre-engineered commercial offering the firm’s primary line of work. If you’re evaluating whether to engage now or wait for a closed commercial case study, the answer is up to you — but the Feasibility Study is fixed-fee, fixed-scope, and 30 days, and it tells you exactly what a microgrid does for your facility regardless of where Faraday is in our commercial pipeline.
Forward-looking.
As commercial-tier projects close, they take their place on this page alongside the healthcare and institutional anchors. The portfolio above is built to grow with the project pipeline.
Designed for California commercial and industrial sites at roughly 200 kW peak demand and above.
Which kind of project fits your facility?
If you’ve made it this far, you’re vetting Faraday for a specific facility. The portfolio above is one signal; the right next step depends on what kind of facility you’re working with.
California commercial facility.
Cold-storage warehouse, food-processing plant, manufacturing facility, biotech, multi-tenant commercial — any of these fits Faraday’s pre-engineered commercial tier framework. Start with the Tiers Hub or the relevant industry page.
Hospital, university, or public agency.
Healthcare and institutional engagements run through a different model. Start with the Healthcare & Institutional page.
