A neighbor's note · Solana Beach · give-first, no pitch
Pizza Port went solar in 2013 — a decade early, as usual
117 kilowatts on the roof while most businesses were still debating it. Thirteen years later there's a new thing stored sun can do, and the brewery that's always early should hear it from a neighbor first.
The receipt (public record): Pizza Port installed a 117,235-watt solar photovoltaic system in 2013, protecting itself from rate hikes years before that was conventional wisdom. Same instinct that put good beer in Solana Beach before craft was a word everyone used.

The 2026 version of that same early move: a slice of that solar — one panel's worth, 2-4 kWh a day — now runs a private AI the business owns outright. Not a subscription. Not a cloud account. A quiet box on your own power that never sends a byte of your business off-site.
- Vendor invoices & order sheets — photographed, extracted, filed, flagged when a price creeps
- The catering/event inquiry pile — drafted replies in your voice, ready every morning
- Schedules, 86 lists, brewery logs — searchable by question, not by folder archaeology
- The phone — an after-hours answerer that actually knows your hours, menu, and tap list
Operator-honest: hardware ~$1,500-5,000 once (yours), setup from $500 (one working workflow), free open models, zero subscriptions ever. If your workload doesn't justify it, I'll say so — that's the whole brand. And this page comes down same-day if Pizza Port wants it gone.
