Why MicroGrids need controllers

I read a terrific article in an industry newsletter by Microgrid Knowledge this week that covered four critical errors people make when referring to something as a “microgrid.”

NOT Microgrids:
• Solar + Storage
• Virtual Power Plant (VPP)
• Community Solar
• Distributed energy resources management systems (DERMS) 

In short, those four errors share one thing:
They lack a Microgrid Controller that can “island” the facility or house in case of a power outage!

Most solar and battery systems do not include the essential component that allows a microgrid to protect you and your family in an emergency.

Linestar offers a Microgrid Control with an automatic transfer switch. Visit our store page for everything you need to get peace of mind and security for your home.
