Monterey County lies an hour’s drive south of the San Francisco Bay Area and according to some, it is the Most Gorgeous Place in America. It is home to Big Sur, one of the world’s most iconic coastlines, as well as Pebble Beach, famous for its coastal golf courses.

Not surprisingly, the county is also a refuge for celebrities and thus home to some very fine residences.

Stocker and Allaire General Contractors is among the area’s premier builders of such homes. Their clients are uncompromising and have little nerve to put up with one of the area’s challenges: unreliable power.  

Winter storms like the one that pounded the area this past weekend frequently leave the county’s more remote areas without power for days. Sunday and Monday saw more than 900,000 homes and businesses in California cut off from the grid, the majority of them concentrated in coastal regions, according to poweroutage.us.

David Stocker, one of the principals of the firm, has long recommended battery systems to his clients for resilience but has grown frustrated with the mainstream home battery vendors. They tend to grossly overstate the duration of outage protection, and Stocker has seen systems plagued by all sorts of problems.

Enter YouSolar as the first credible provider of true whole-home power. Our focus on the high-end residential market as well as our commitment to quality and white-glove service have impressed the builders and led to a fruitful relationship between the two companies.

Stocker & Allaire can trust that their demanding clients’ power and resilience needs are in good hands with YouSolar, and they have become a trusted advisor to YouSolar for the ongoing improvement of the PowerBloc.
