The Age of the NanoGrid Has Arrived!
More microgrids and even nanogrids are coming to homes and offices near you this year! Better battery technology is enabling longer lifecycles, faster recharge, and safer power distribution. More home automation devices can manage the power intake from your solar panels and generators are coming online this year. Get the latest news and products from TheMicroGridStore.com!
What is a Nanogrid?
Everyone wants to be independent. But until recently, people depended on the local power supplier (usually a monopoly) to provide their house with adequate power.
Hospitals, hotels, fire stations, and police were the exception. When everyone else lost power, their buildings had backups. Those are generally what people refer to as microgrids. They are independent power supplies that can generate electricity and keep facilities functional for a temporary period of time. They are separated from the main power grid and are automatically triggered to jump on in the case of an emergency, low power, or lost power.
But enter the age of the Nanogrid. Most of what people call a microgrid is actually a nanogrid. Microgrids are generally much bigger and can encompass an entire city block, like a hospital or university. A nanogrid is when you make your home totally independent by supplying it power and the automated triggers necessary to separate it from the grid. Generally nanogrids are a single home or office and do not share power with neighbors.
AFFORDABLE, AVAILABLE, Approachable
It used to take a serious expert to install a nanogrid in a home. You could do it when the home was being built and pay tens of thousands of dollars extra or more to independent contractors. Often they didn’t even know what they were doing and used equipment that doesn’t play well together, like an inverter that doesn’t work with the battery backups, or a generator that doesn’t have full separation from the grid. That means when the power company shuts the power off to repair the lines, your solar panel power is useless!
But today, you don’t need to be an expert to install a nanogrid in your home or office. We here at TheMicroGridStore.com will show you how and supply you with everything you need to get exactly what you want. We have inverters, solar panels, batteries, and an intelligent power server to manage it all — at prices everyone can afford. In fact, you can buy a complete package pre-built, or you can assemble one yourself and add on to it over time as equipment keeps getting better.
2023 is definitely the year to get started with your home nanogrid project. You will find it is fun and rewarding, and easier than you might think. We take all the guess work out of the assembly by bringing together products that have been tested to already work together. Microgrids and nanogrids are our thing. If you have questions, ask!
