Solar Microgrids
Installing a solar microgrid is a great way to take control of your own electricity production and storage. Microgrids can either be connected to the main electric grid or remain entirely separate, making microgrids an ideal energy solution for remote locations that don't have grid access.
What is a Solar Microgrid?
A microgrid is an independently controlled energy system that distributes multiple sources of power to multiple sources of use, allowing you to power your home or business with clean, renewable energy—with or without connection to the main electric grid.
Solar microgrids primarily utilize solar power. They incorporate solar panels, solar inverters, solar batteries, wires, and cables to produce, store, and distribute electricity. Power is generated and stored within a central hub and wires are installed to distribute it to various locations within its network.
Microgrids can either be grid-connected—with the ability to disconnect completely from the main electric grid when it's down—or operate entirely on their own. Six Rivers Solar designs microgrids with and without main grid connection.
Benefits of a Solar Microgrid
Remote Power Access
Bring electricity to remote farms and locations without grid access—no costly power line extensions.
Quiet & Efficient
Generate quiet, efficient, low-cost clean electricity without the noise and fuel costs of generators.
Reduce Carbon Emissions
Power your operation with 100% clean, renewable energy and reduce your environmental footprint.
Outage Protection
Protect against power outages and failures impacting the main grid with independent power generation.
Lower Operating Costs
Eliminate or drastically reduce electricity bills and avoid expensive demand charges.
Scalable Design
Modular architecture allows you to expand capacity as your energy needs grow over time.
Grid-Connected or Off-Grid
Design your system to connect to the main grid, operate entirely independently, or both.
