Microgrid Components. Like a traditional grid, energy generation is the heart of a microgrid system. This can range from diesel generators and batteries, the most common sources at the moment, to power generated by renewable resources such as solar panels, wind farms, fuel cells, or other sources of renewable energy.
1. What is a microgrid? A microgrid is a set of on-site energy loads and resources that work as a system and can operate independently of the grid. It can be as small as a few solar panels and a battery or as large as an array of solar, wind, hydrogen, and other systems across multiple facilities or a community.

Solar Microgrids have been used to power homes, hospitals, schools, businesses, irrigation pumps for agriculture, street lights, and more. To-date we have installed 10 solar microgrids in Kenya with a combined capacity of 25.42kw! This has meant reliable, clean electricity for the homes and businesses of more than 3,000 people.
While microgrids are an apparent answer for recovery and resilience, the costs of a controller present a barrier to communities. In 2019, NREL found that microgrid controllers have a mean cost of $155,000/megawatt, potentially putting resilient microgrids out of reach for vulnerable areas. Besides costs, controllers introduce a tangle of
Governmental initiatives that encourage the establishment of microgrids based on renewables, many of which adapt to distributed applications, have also been prompted
Defining the future of energy. One of the most important emerging use cases for solar microgrids is their ability to support a stable grid for others. As more adoption of variable renewable energy occurs (such as solar and wind), there is an even greater need to produce energy as close as possible to the point of consumption while
Highlights. •. Microgrids are a flexible solution for a broad diversity of stakeholders. •. The advantages of microgrids range from resilience to renewable integration. •. Microgrids are moving from the laboratory to broad community deployment. •. Microgrids still face significant legal and regulatory uncertainties.
Microgrids support a flexible and efficient electric grid by adapting to integrating growing deployments of renewables such as solar farms and electric vehicles. In addition, using local sources of energy to serve local loads helps reduce energy losses in transmission and distribution, further increasing efficiency of the electric delivery system.

Solar microgrids connect homes, businesses, and other buildings to central power sources, which lets us use appliances, heating/cooling systems, and electronics. But because everything is linked, when one part of the grid needs to be fixed, it affects everyone. Connected to the grid, a solar power microgrid can help with this.
Microgrids are localized electric grids that can disconnect from the main grid to operate autonomously, even with the larger grid is down.
