How Microgrids Work

Renewable Energy

A solar array generates renewable energy, which charges the energy storage system.

Energy Storage

The energy storage system powers the microgrid.

Energy Resiliency

The islandable microgrid is connected to the utility grid through a point of common coupling. The microgrid enables the client to have continuous power throughout utility outages.

Renewable Energy

A solar array generates renewable energy, which charges the energy storage system.

Energy Storage

Agri-Industrial Solar

Agri-Industrial Plastics Company, a leading industrial blow molding manufacturer, combined a roof-mounted solar array with energy storage to manage costly peak demand charges. The system pioneered Tesla Powerpack use in the Midwest and was the first of its kind in Iowa.

Stuff Etc

The flagship store of consignment chain Stuff Etc was the first solar project in Iowa to integrate a commercial-grade energy storage system. The chain's Coralville location demonstrated how solar + storage could manage demand charges, a strategy pioneered in Iowa by Ideal Energy.
