What is the GridGenius platform and how does it work?
GridGenius is our proprietary microgrid platform combining advanced power electronics, intelligent control software (GridGenius EMCS), and vendor-agnostic system design. It optimizes renewable energy integration, manages energy storage, and coordinates multiple generation sources to deliver utility-grade power quality with the lowest levelized cost of energy. The platform supports up to 90-100% renewable penetration without curtailment while greatly simplifying system operations and maintenance.
How much can I expect to save on power costs?
Most customers achieve up to 80% reductions in power costs with flat future costs for decades. Actual savings depend on your current energy costs, load profile, renewable resource availability, and system configuration. Our proprietary modeling tools analyze your specific situation to provide accurate cost projections during the design phase.
What types of facilities and applications do you serve?
We serve diverse applications including remote communities, commercial and industrial facilities, medical and extended care centers, resorts and hotels, mining operations, oil and gas facilities, military installations, agriculture and greenhouses, power utilities, and marine auxiliary power. Our modular approach adapts to any power requirement from small installations to utility-scale systems.
Do you provide financing options for projects?
Yes, project financing options are available through our development partners. We work with you to structure manageable financial arrangements that help fund your microgrid investment while you begin realizing energy cost savings. Financing solutions are tailored to your specific project size and requirements.
What does your 24/7 support include?
Our worldwide 24/7 service includes remote monitoring through PowerView software, performance optimization management, software upgrades, and expert technical support. For multiple systems, FleetGenius software provides centralized monitoring and management. Our support ensures your system operates as intended throughout its planned service life with minimal downtime.
How long does implementation take from design to commissioning?
Timeline varies based on system complexity and site requirements. Our Rapid Deployment Flex Microgrid units complete all acceptance testing before shipment, significantly reducing on-site installation time. A typical project progresses through design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning phases. We provide detailed schedules during the planning stage based on your specific configuration.
What maintenance is required for GridGenius systems?
GridGenius systems feature extended maintenance cycles and longer intervals between service requirements compared to traditional power systems. Our maintenance service plans include scheduled preventive care, system optimization, and reduced spare parts needs. The simplified design significantly lowers ongoing maintenance costs and training requirements while maintaining high reliability.
Can the system grow with our changing power needs?
Absolutely. The GridGenius platform is future-proofed and modular by design, allowing your microgrid to grow and adapt as your power needs evolve. You can add renewable generation, increase energy storage capacity, or integrate new loads without replacing the entire system. Our vendor-agnostic approach ensures you're never locked into outdated technology.
