What is a Solar Microgrid? A solar microgrid is a localized energy system that integrates solar panels, energy storage devices (such as batteries), and often other renewable energy sources like wind or hydroelectric power.
Energy Generation: Microgrids rely on a combination of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and traditional energy sources, such as diesel generators. The mix of energy sources depends on the specific energy needs and requirements of the microgrid.
Some of our solar microgrid systems have a capacity as small as 1.5kw, providing reliable energy to 25 homes and 5 businesses. Other microgrids are expected to have a capacity closer to 15kw, enough energy to power hundreds of households and small businesses.
Microgrids require a sophisticated energy management system to ensure that energy is being used efficiently and effectively, and that the flow of energy is balanced between generation and storage. In addition, microgrids must be designed to be flexible and scalable, able to adapt to changing energy needs and requirements.
Energy Storage: Energy storage systems, such as batteries, are an important component of microgrids, allowing energy to be stored for times when it is not being generated. This helps to ensure a stable and reliable source of energy, even when renewable energy sources are not available.
Solar microgrids have a lot of potential as a renewable energy solution. However, they will not be sustainable and profitable without the direct involvement, training, and cooperation of communities. This is why we put communities at the centre of our work – working with them from day one to create a long-term vision and management plan.
