Solar Microgrid Testimonial Video

The Vision: Solar Microgrid Meet Luxury Winemaking

In this compelling solar microgrid testimonial video, Blare Video showcases the powerful intersection of cutting-edge technology and centuries-old tradition. We joined Schneider Electric at the prestigious Domaine Carneros in Napa Valley to document how their Solar Microgrid is revolutionizing the energy landscape for luxury winemaking.

Through the eyes of CEO Remi Cohen, we explore how the estate has “uncorked” its full potential. The video highlights a seamless energy cycle: capturing the abundance of the California sun to power operations, while intelligently storing excess energy to ensure the winery remains resilient and productive during overcast days.

On Location: Crafting the Visual Palette

To match the elegance of the Domaine Carneros chateau, our production team focused on a high-end, cinematic aesthetic. Leading the charge was Director of Photography Mauricio Tapia, supported by the talented Tim Chavez and Eric Smith.

Atmospheric Storytelling: We utilized the chateau’s stunning architecture, featuring a grand, working fireplace that served as a warm, sophisticated backdrop for our interviews.
The Perfect Backdrop: Guided by Napa Valley’s breathtaking weather, the team captured expansive aerials and crisp b-roll of the solar infrastructure at work, emphasizing the scale of Schneider Electric’s impact.
The “Sparkling” Touch: By blending behind-the-scenes realism with the “sparkling class” of the winery, we created a visual narrative that feels as premium as the wine itself.

Post-Production & Impact

Once the sun set over the vines, our post-production team took the lead. Their mission was to weave together technical innovation with human storytelling—transforming complex energy data into a clear narrative of sustainability.

The final piece demonstrates how Schneider Electric’s Solar Microgrid is more than just a utility; it is a vital tool for commercial and industrial leaders to:

Dramatically lower energy costs.
Reduce carbon footprints through renewable energy.
Ensure operational resilience regardless of weather conditions.

Blare Video is proud to have partnered with a global leader like Schneider Electric to tell a story that is as sustainable as it is beautiful.

Is there a specific technical detail about the microgrid or a particular shot from the video you’d like to emphasize even further?

This was one of three videos we have produced for Schneider Electric.
