Microgrid technology is revolutionizing the residential solar industry. Learn how to make your home energy independent with a microgrid today!
What is a Microgrid?
Let’s start with the definition. A microgrid is a system that includes a renewable energy source, such as solar, coupled with advanced energy storage—most often batteries.
Solar technology is evolving faster than ever, and the existing photovoltaic technology in solar panels generates more power than your home or business will immediately need to use. Adding a battery system allows you to store the excess energy generated from your rooftop solar panels instead of feeding all the excess energy to the utility grid. Without a battery system, your solar panels remain dependent on the utility grid, meaning if there is ever a power outage in your area, your solar panels will not continue generating power for your home or business.
How Can A Solar Battery System Help?
With a battery system in place, you gain energy independence from the utility company, meaning you no longer have to rely on their powerlines to feed excess solar-generated power back to your home or business. Solar panels and battery storage work together to create a microgrid by generating and storing its own electricity.
