Overview
This forward-thinking estate showcases Savant Power's full capabilities. Solar panels, battery storage, and intelligent load management work together to optimize energy usage. Real-time monitoring provides insights into consumption patterns, while automated load shedding ensures critical systems remain powered during outages.
Systems integrated
The challenge
An estate that experienced utility outages multiple times per year and a household ready to invest in renewables — but only with a system that integrated cleanly with the existing Savant infrastructure and exposed real-time consumption to the homeowner.
Technical scope
Savant Power panel as the central load controller. 38 kW DC roof-mounted solar array with optimized string design for the Hinsdale roof geometry. 60 kWh battery storage (two stacked LFP units) in a conditioned mechanical room. Vehicle-to-home charging for the household vehicles, with managed export based on production. Real-time consumption monitoring through the same Savant UI used for lighting and climate. Utility net-metering interconnection coordinated in-house.
Outcome
Household systems continued running through every utility outage in the first year of operation. The system produces a meaningful share of the household’s annual electricity needs, and the household sees consumption in the same app it uses for the rest of the home.

Client perspectives
“The Savant Power system transformed our relationship with energy. We produce more than we consume most months, and through every utility outage last year we didn't even notice.”
“I'm environmentally focused but refused to compromise comfort. SilverGate delivered both. The solar integration is seamless—we charge our Teslas with excess production, the house pre-cools during peak solar hours.”
