How Microgrids work
Panels capture the sunlight
Commercial-grade, high-efficiency solar panels capture the sun's abundant energy for your operations.
Usable power
An inverter converts the captured solar energy into usable power for your business and community.
Stored & backup power
A powerful battery bank stores daily energy to offset peak loads and provide stability to your business and community.
Monitor your system
Real-time monitoring lets you track your system’s status and performance from any smart device.
YOUR BENEFITS
Why choose solar microgrids
