EasyFlow Plan Lease

Bakersfield, CA – 100 kW Solar + Storage Upgrade

For a large almond farm in Bakersfield, California, a predictable, zero-down energy plan is the foundation for long-term stability. The EasyFlow Lease provides the perfect solution, featuring a 100 kW solar array and a 15 kWh battery storage system.

The Challenge & The Outcome

• The Challenge: This almond farm relies on two large water pumps (totaling 100 hp) for irrigation. During the 8-month irrigation season, this resulted in an annual electricity bill of over $45,000. The high bill, combined with steep demand charges from starting the pumps, created major financial uncertainty.

• The Outcome: By signing a 25-year EasyFlow lease for a flat $1,920 per month, the farmer locked in the vast majority of his future energy costs. After paying the annual lease ($23,040) and the remaining grid bill (around $4,500), his total yearly energy spending is now just $27,540. This creates an immediate, direct savings of over $17,500 every year.
