Microgrid Solutions
Recommended for businesses wishing to continue operations during a power outage or PSPS.
Microgrids consist of a number of generation resources that can be disconnected from the broader electric grid to provide local energy needs.

By working with a developer, businesses can find a microgrid solution that works for their needs.
