Why Build A Micro Grid?

A Micro Grid is a simple solution that when put in place can solve many problems or resolve power outages for your business, or industrial application. A Microgrid is made up of a group of interconnected DERs (distributed energy resources) and loads that are able to interact independent from utility power. A well-designed system can function autonomously as an island by itself and power your facility with seamless switching from utility power.

The goal of a microgrid can be as simple as providing renewable energy to the customer, or as complicated as maintaining power through an outage or PSPS even.  and, often times, is multi-functional architecture, providing an array of solutions for year round applications.

“One of the biggest mistakes I believe people make when attempting to improve their lives is one of the simplest. They just don’t take action based on what they have just learned.” — Anonymous

The concerns of building and maintaining a Microgrid are something Enlightened Resources knows all too well. We are not afraid to admit that we have had to overcome challenges in the past and we’re here to bring our experience to the future. Our experience is ready to design and develop your Microgrid that will meet your power requirement.  We certify every component is perfectly integrated for dependability.


Having a backup power system is more important now than it has been in years for continuous business operations, safety, comfort, and ease of mind. This is the reason to consider now and not later to launch the planning of your power solution.
