Clautiere Vineyard
The creative forces behind Clautiere Vineyard are Claudine Blackwell and Terry Brady. The couple has passionately rejuvenated and transformed a local ranch into a place of vibrant color and energy. This small winery in California's Central Coast region is reducing their electric bill by 80% with a 30 kWp photovoltaic system.
Installed atop the warehouses, Clautiere Vineyard's solar electric rooftop system is one of the first solar installations in the Paso Robles wine region. It lays flush with the existing roof structre to enhance the aesthetics of the buildings and generates enough electricty during the daytime to power 30 homes. The system is an integral part of Clautiere's efforts to offset its operations with renewable energy resources.
