The race for sustainable and resilient electrical solutions is driving home builders, electrical contractors, and solar installers to explore innovative technologies beyond individual homes. Among these innovations, community microgrids stand out as a promising approach. Join us as we discuss an urban apartment complex and a campus with four critical facilities, to learn the transformative potential of community microgrids. The session will explore the attributes of connected-energy housing and how to navigate commercial and regulatory challenges in gaining approval for large-scale community microgrid projects. Explore how community microgrids benefit the planet, the local community, and individuals. We will delve into the positive environmental impact, increased energy efficiency, and improved energy reliability offered by these interconnected systems.
