While the main purpose of microgrid technology is to provide power independent of the utility grid during a blackout, the assets that comprise a microgrid operate even when the grid is fully functional. Solar and storage can be used to reduce your overall utility usage, saving you money on your energy bills and lowering your carbon footprint.
Besides being inherently bad for the environment, a diesel generator is very energy inefficient. It ramps up and down throughout the day as a building’s power demand fluctuates, burning lots of fuel and placing mechanical stress on the asset. In a microgrid that incorporates solar and storage, the generator acts more as a supplemental energy source — running for less time and with higher efficiency. This saves money on fuel and cuts down on harmful emissions.
A: During a blackout, a microgrid disengages (or “islands”) itself from the utility grid and uses a combination of solar arrays, energy storage, and a traditional generator to provide reliable backup power in a manner that is more cost effective, energy efficient, and environmentally friendlier than using a generator alone.
