Brewing a Brighter Future: Solar Powered Beer Florida

Project Overview

Solar Tech Elec undertook the House of Beer project in Spring 2024, transforming HOB Brewing Company in Dunedin with solar power. The brewery has embraced green energy for a cleaner, more sustainable future. By harnessing solar power through a 138-kilowatt system, their locally crafted beers are now entirely powered by the sun, freeing the brewery from expensive and increasing electricity costs supplied by traditional utilities.

Now is the ideal time for Floridians to embrace green energy practices, and Solar Tech Elec is ready to assist businesses and breweries—like HOB Brewing Company—in their transition toward sustainability.

Most recently, HOB Brewing took another step toward energy independence by investing in two Tesla Powerwalls for battery backup. These advanced storage systems allow the brewery to save excess solar electricity for use during shorter winter days and cloudy weather. This ensures that HOB Brewing can continue operating on clean, renewable solar energy without relying on the national grid and fossil fuels.

With this latest upgrade, HOB Brewing remains a leader in commercial solar in Dunedin, Florida, proving that sustainability and great beer go hand in hand.

A Brewery Powered by the Sun

For HOB Brewing, going solar wasn’t just an environmental decision—it was a smart financial move. Since switching to commercial solar panels in Florida, the brewery has seen significant energy savings, proving that renewable energy is a game-changer for businesses.

Business Owner Rick Clemo Shares His Experience

“The crew from Solar Tech Elec did a great job installing 300+ panels and 134kWh of power to our brewery. Solar powered beer, baby! The first 5 months have hit all the numbers we were hoping for, saving $2,500–$3,000 a month. Instant ROI, even with all of this crappy weather. Can’t wait for some sunny months to see what the potential can be.

They did a great job with the installation, as we have customers on the property from 11 AM, so safety and cleanup were a huge concern, and they did not disappoint. A+! Super easy, no-pressure sales got us interested. The numbers convinced us. And we are happy with the results.

Why don’t more people go solar? It is a no-brainer.” — Rick Clemo, Business Owner, HOB Brewing Company

The Future of Brewery Solar Power in Florida

HOB Brewing’s decision to invest in solar power with battery storage is a testament to the growing trend of businesses moving toward sustainability. With Tesla Powerwalls in place, they can store excess solar energy and power their operations even when the sun isn’t shining.

“The solar power trend is gaining momentum in Florida, and it’s not surprising that an increasing number of businesses are transitioning to clean energy to fuel their operations. Adding battery storage allows businesses to take full control of their energy use, reducing costs and ensuring uninterrupted power.
