Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar microgrid?

Solar microgrids represent a transformative technology that addresses some of the most pressing energy challenges of our time. By combining renewable solar generation with intelligent storage and control systems, these installations provide a pathway to energy independence, enhanced resilience, and environmental sustainability.

What type of battery does a solar microgrid use?

Modern solar microgrids typically use lithium-ion battery systems, though some larger installations may incorporate other technologies like flow batteries or compressed air energy storage. Battery capacity is calculated based on critical load requirements and desired backup duration.

How do microgrids manage energy?

Energy Management: Microgrids need a system to manage the flow of energy, ensuring that energy is being used efficiently and effectively. This includes monitoring and controlling the mix of energy sources, as well as balancing the energy supply and demand.

Can a 15 MW solar microgrid reduce energy costs?

A semiconductor fabrication facility in Arizona implemented a 15 MW solar microgrid that reduced annual energy costs by $2.3 million while providing backup power for critical production equipment.
