What Is a Solar Microgrid?

A solar microgrid is a localized energy system that integrates solar panels, energy storage devices, and smart control systems to generate, store, and distribute electricity. These systems consist of photovoltaic (PV) modules, batteries for energy storage, inverters for power conversion, and control mechanisms that manage your energy flow effectively.

Microgrids can also transition between grid-connected and islanded modes to provide continuous power supply during outages. These energy management systems monitor these changes and respond accordingly to load demand, grid conditions, and battery state of charge.

What Can Microgrids Do That Regular Solar Energy Systems Can’t?

Microgrids offer a level of flexibility that exceeds that of traditional solar energy systems. Standard setups are often grid-tied and shut down during power outages, while microgrids can operate independently. This islanding capability provides power to any connected buildings.

Microgrids also excel in integrating multiple energy sources and storage systems, creating a more diverse and reliable energy ecosystem. They can incorporate not just solar panels but other types of energy storage solutions, allowing you to respond to demand fluctuations in real time.

Why Do Solar Storage Systems Perform Better Than Backup Generators?

Solar storage systems perform better than backup generators and various other secondary power solutions primarily because they provide clean, renewable energy without the need for fuel, unlike generators that rely on gasoline, diesel, or natural gas.

Solar storage systems also switch instantly when needed, bypassing the fuel management and manual startup often required of backup generators. The rebates and government incentives offered for clean energy sources and net metering also don’t apply to systems that rely on fuel, like these generators.

Ready Solar Inc: Go Net-Zero with Solar Power Microgrid

We develop personalized action plans to help our clients limit their dependence on conventional sources of energy and achieve net-zero emissions for their property.

Net-zero is not only achievable—it’s also incredibly practical. We utilize the latest in solar-plus-storage technology, which traps energy from the sun and stores it for future use. Thanks to their high-efficiency designs, our microgrids can convert greater amounts of energy into a long-term source of power.

By choosing us to construct a net-zero microgrid for you, you’ll be able to enjoy:

  • Lower utility costs
  • Federal tax credits
  • Improved property value
  • Heightened energy security

Our Energy-Efficient Microgrid Consultation Process

We start with a comprehensive audit of your energy consumption and production. By performing a complete energy analysis, we can then determine the size of the microgrid you’ll need. We then provide you with a detailed financial report, outlining the costs, timeline, and schedule of delivery for the project. Our project reports are easily accessible, completely transparent, and 100% accurate.

We strive to deliver our services with frank, honest, and open communication. We’ll be there to discuss the details of the project at every stage of the job. As a renewable energy contractor, we make customer education a focus of our business model. We’ll give you all the details you need so that you can make an informed decision on your energy needs.

What Capacity Do You Need for Your Solar Battery Storage?

Determining the appropriate capacity for your solar battery storage system depends on several factors, including your energy consumption patterns, the size of your solar array, and your specific energy goals. The capacity should at least cover nighttime needs and backup power during outages.

Here are a few relevant factors:

  • Energy consumption patterns: Daily and peak electricity usage, including high-demand appliances
  • Solar panel output: The amount of electricity your solar system can generate based on climate and sunlight availability
  • Battery storage capacity: The amount of energy needed to store excess power and meet consumption demands during low-sunlight periods
  • Level of energy independence: Whether you require backup power for critical systems or aim for complete off-grid autonomy
  • Future energy needs: Potential increases in energy usage, such as adding electric vehicles or more appliances

Can You Add Solar Storage to an Existing System?

You can add solar storage to your existing system, and it's a common upgrade. Modern inverters can manage both solar generation and battery storage, though you might require an additional inverter to effectively handle the energy flow between the solar panels, battery, and grid.

Here’s how it works: We connect the storage system to the main panel, where it captures and stores excess solar energy. This stored energy is then available for when you require it, improving energy resilience without needing major changes to your existing solar array.

Streamlined Services for Faster Microgrid Setup

Efficiency is the hallmark of our business, and our installation procedure is no exception. We combine a turnkey approach with lean business principles to streamline our services, minimize project bloat, and finish each job sooner. By following high-efficiency labor practices, we’re able to reduce our turnaround times as well as the costs of our labor. What’s more, it allows us to avoid unnecessary delays and ensure every job is completed on time. From the initial design to the final set-up, we’ll be there every step of the way to see the project through to the end. Put your trust in our team, and see it pay off in dividends.

After installation, we provide our clients with detailed warranty and product information, as well as a satisfaction guarantee. During the warranty period, we offer a range of customer care services to address any concerns that our clients may have. Rest assured—we’ll be there every step of the way to meet your needs.
