Residential Microgrid
Service Territory.
Prime Microgrid engineers private power infrastructure for homes, estates, and properties throughout the 48 contiguous United States. Systems may integrate onsite generation, energy storage, backup generation, intelligent controls, grid interaction, and load management according to each property's requirements.
Serving homeowners, estates, and properties throughout the 48 contiguous United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
Featured State Guides
The guides below provide regional examples; they do not limit Prime Microgrid's service territory, which includes all 48 contiguous United States.
Pennsylvania Residential Microgrids
Aging grid infrastructure across rural areas, severe winter storms causing extended outages, large estate properties in the suburbs of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, growing interest in energy independence among homeowners, and increasing electricity costs from legacy utilities.
Ohio Residential Microgrids
Ice storms and severe weather causing multi-day outages, rural properties at the end of long distribution lines, tornado-prone regions with vulnerable overhead power lines, and homeowners seeking independence from aging utility infrastructure.
Delaware Residential Microgrids
Coastal properties exposed to Nor'easters and hurricane-remnant storms, flooding risks in low-lying areas, aging distribution infrastructure, high-value beach and waterfront estates requiring continuous power for climate control and security systems.
Maryland Residential Microgrids
Severe weather events from Nor'easters to derecho storms, Chesapeake Bay coastal properties requiring storm resilience, aging distribution lines in rural counties, and high-value estates in suburban Washington D.C. and the Eastern Shore.
New Jersey Residential Microgrids
Post-Sandy awareness of grid vulnerability, some of the highest electricity rates in the nation, coastal properties from Cape May to the Jersey Shore requiring storm resilience, and strong state incentives for solar and battery storage.
Virginia Residential Microgrids
Rural properties in the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Valley with long restoration times, coastal exposure in Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore, estate properties in Northern Virginia and Charlottesville, and ice storm vulnerability in mountainous regions.
West Virginia Residential Microgrids
Mountainous terrain creating some of the longest outage restoration times in the eastern U.S., severe ice storms, rural properties at the end of single-feeder distribution lines, and homeowners seeking self-sufficiency in remote locations.
North Carolina Residential Microgrids
Hurricane exposure along the Outer Banks and coastal plain, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in the Piedmont, mountain ice storms in the western counties, and large estate properties from Charlotte to the Research Triangle.
South Carolina Residential Microgrids
Direct hurricane landfall risk from Charleston to Myrtle Beach, severe heat waves straining grid capacity, coastal estate properties requiring continuous climate control, and rural inland properties with extended outage histories.
Georgia Residential Microgrids
Severe thunderstorms and tornado risk across the state, coastal exposure from Savannah to the Golden Isles, summer heat waves creating peak demand stress, and large properties in North Georgia and suburban Atlanta.
Alabama Residential Microgrids
Tornado alley exposure with some of the most severe weather in the U.S., hurricane risk along the Gulf Coast from Mobile to Gulf Shores, aging rural grid infrastructure, and extreme summer heat creating extended peak demand.
Florida Residential Microgrids
The highest hurricane risk in the continental U.S. with 7–21 day utility restoration timelines after major storms, coastal properties requiring corrosion-resistant marine-grade equipment, extreme heat demanding continuous HVAC, and homeowners who evacuate needing remote monitoring.
Frequently Asked Questions
A residential microgrid is a locally controlled energy system that integrates solar generation, battery storage, backup generators, and intelligent controls into one coordinated private power infrastructure. Unlike a single generator or battery product, a microgrid manages multiple energy sources automatically to power an entire property — whether the utility grid is available or not.
A residential microgrid may be designed for selected critical loads or larger whole-property loads. Coverage depends on the property's load profile, battery capacity, inverter output, generation resources, controls, and operating priorities.
Runtime depends on load, storage capacity, available generation, fuel supply, equipment ratings, maintenance, and operating conditions. Compatible generator backing may extend operation when the system is designed and configured for it.
A generator can be one resource within a larger coordinated microgrid. Depending on the equipment and design, storage and controls may reduce startup interruption, coordinate generator operation, and reduce fuel use compared with generator-only operation.
No. While solar generation is a common and valuable component, a residential microgrid can be built with battery storage and generator integration alone. Solar reduces generator runtime and fuel costs during extended outages, but the system operates with or without it depending on property needs and design goals.
Whole-home residential microgrid systems typically range from $80,000 to $300,000+ installed. Cost depends on battery capacity, generation sources, home size, site complexity, and engineering requirements. Battery storage is the largest cost driver at $800–$1,200/kWh installed. Every system is priced as a custom engineering project.
Prime Microgrid serves properties throughout the 48 contiguous United States. Alaska and Hawaii are not currently served. Contact us to discuss your property and energy goals.
Battery backup can support selected loads or broader coverage depending on its design. A microgrid is the larger coordinated architecture that may integrate storage with onsite generation, backup generation, controls, protection, loads, and the utility-grid interface.
Modern microgrid controllers may support software-assisted load management, battery optimization, generation forecasting, storm preparation, and generator coordination, depending on the controller platform and system configuration.
Residential microgrids are best suited for large primary residences (4,000+ sq ft), estate properties, coastal homes, rural properties with long grid restoration times, vacation homes that need unattended protection, and any property where power disruption would cause significant financial or safety consequences.
