Private Power Infrastructure

A home microgrid is a residential-scale private power system that coordinates local energy resources, electrical loads, controls, protective equipment, and interaction with the utility grid. Solar or battery equipment may be components, but neither alone necessarily constitutes a complete microgrid.

The intelligence layer of a residential microgrid — a dedicated power management computer that monitors all energy sources and loads in real-time, optimizes battery state of charge, decides when to start/stop generators, manages power flow between sources, executes load shedding if needed, and enables remote monitoring. A microgrid controller is what distinguishes a true microgrid from a collection of independently operating devices. Consumer battery products use basic inverter logic, not a dedicated controller.

Energy resilience is the ability of a home or property to maintain essential power during disruptions, outages, or grid instability.
