They can also use energy storage and the batteries in electric vehicles to balance production
READ MOREMicrogrid 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.
READ MORESolar micro-grids can be connected to the main electric grid and can integrate with it, but they can also separate themselves from the grid and operate independently. A solar micro-grid will maintain a connection to the main grid until it''s deemed necessary to switch to independent power generation or "island mode.".
