Microgrids

A microgrid is a self-sufficient energy system designed to serve a specific area, such as a municipal office complex, university, hospital, business center, or small community. These systems incorporate various distributed energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, combined heat and power, and generators to produce power for the microgrid. They can also include energy storage and electric vehicle charging stations.

Microgrids are gaining popularity because they eliminate energy and demand charges, provide reliable and cleaner energy when renewable sources like solar are used, and enhance resilience against power interruptions caused by weather, issues with legacy grids, or human intervention. Importantly, microgrids return control of energy and energy costs to their owners.

At Solential Energy, we collaborate with municipalities, public utilities, and other organizations across the Midwest to implement tailored microgrid solutions. Contact us to learn how a microgrid can benefit your energy strategy.
