Residential Microgrid
Community and residential microgrids integrate rooftop solar, energy storage, EV charging, smart home loads and intelligent energy management to coordinate household or community energy use.
The system stores surplus solar energy for use during the evening or periods of high electricity prices, increasing renewable energy self-consumption and reducing dependence on the utility grid. When configured with backup and islanding capability, it can also supply prioritized household or community loads during grid outages.
Advantages of the Plan
-
Higher Solar Self-Consumption
Stores surplus rooftop solar energy for later use, reducing electricity exported at low value and increasing local renewable energy utilization.
-
Lower Electricity Costs
Uses load shifting and time-of-use electricity price management to reduce grid consumption during high-price periods.
-
Reliable Backup Power
When properly configured, the system can maintain power for prioritized loads during grid outages and improve household energy resilience.
-
Integrated Home Energy Management
Coordinates solar generation, battery storage, EV charging and controllable household loads through a unified energy management system.
