Technical FAQs 4

What is microgrid solar?

Microgrid Solar delivers the best of both worlds: renewable energy plus energy resilience. With every natural disaster and large-scale power outage in the news, people are thinking more seriously about how to achieve energy independence. As extreme heat, wildfires or winter storms pressure utility grids, there's an urgency to find local solutions.

What is a microgrid energy storage system?

Microgrid energy storage provides power when the grid goes down. Solar plus storage solutions incorporate energy storage batteries for both solar storage and backup power. They also save costs on electricity during peak hours. Microgrid Solar and other microgrid power systems are able to work independently or alongside the power grid.

How do solar microgrids work?

Solar microgrids work by connecting to local energy grids that can disconnect from the national electric grid and run independently. They offer reliable backup power and the ability to use other types of energy to help reduce utility costs.

What is the difference between solar and microgrid energy storage?

More advanced microgrid models incorporate longer lasting batteries into their design as well. Microgrid energy storage provides power when the grid goes down. Solar plus storage solutions incorporate energy storage batteries for both solar storage and backup power. They also save costs on electricity during peak hours.
