Frequently Asked Questions
What is a microgrid?
A microgrid is a localized energy system that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main utility grid. It typically includes power generation, energy storage, and intelligent controls to manage loads and power sources.
How do microgrids benefit industrial and commercial facilities?
There are typically four benefits of using Microgrids over single asset solutions
- Higher energy resilience during utility outages
- Cost savings through peak shaving and load shifting
- Sustainability with integration of renewable energy sources
- Independence from grid instability or outages
They're ideal for critical operations like hospitals, data centers, manufacturing plants, and public infrastructure.
Can I integrate a microgrid with my existing generator system?
Yes. If you already have Generac or other industrial generators, we can integrate them into a microgrid system using intelligent controllers, load management technology, and battery storage solutions — all while maintaining code compliance and system efficiency.
What types of energy sources can be used in a microgrid?
Microgrids are highly flexible and can incorporate:
- Diesel or natural gas generators
- Solar panels or other renewables
- Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Our engineering team designs systems tailored to your site’s needs and available resources.
Will a microgrid save my business money?
Yes, microgrids can reduce energy costs by:
- Reducing peak demand charges
- Enabling energy arbitrage (storing energy when it’s cheap, using it when it's expensive)
- Maximizing efficiency through intelligent energy management Incentives and tax credits may also be available depending on your location.
How is a microgrid controlled or managed?
Microgrids use advanced controllers to monitor energy production, consumption, and storage. These controllers ensure:
- Seamless switching between energy sources
- Load prioritization
- Battery charging/discharging
- Real-time system monitoring and remote diagnostics
We provide options for remote monitoring and automated energy management platforms.
What is the typical ROI on a microgrid system?
Return on investment depends on:
- System size and complexity
- Energy usage profile
- Available incentives
- Fuel and utility rates
Detailed analysis with an experienced professional can give you a clearer picture of your ROI
