Menifee is California's first solar- and battery-powered microgrid home community
Topped with solar panels, each home in California’s first all-electric, solar- and battery-powered microgrid home community also has a so-called Sun Vault in the garage to store electricity. And each of those homes is connected, giving them the ability to collectively withstand power shortages induced by extreme heat, wildfires or earthquakes. … LA-based KB Home and SunPower, headquartered in San Jose, received $6.6 million from the agency to pay for the microgrid’s batteries and research that the University of California, Irvine and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab will conduct.

Message from the Associate Dean
Building creative collaborations among students and faculty within the Samueli School of Engineering is essential for generating new insights that drive key partnerships and innovations.

Both approaches actively advance the school’s strategic vision of boldly confronting society’s most pressing challenges and creating new opportunities to improve lives. In the Samueli School of Engineering, we call this inclusive concept Engineering Plus, or simply “e+.”
