The Future of Sustainable Energy
What is a Solar Micro Grid?
A solar microgrid is a localized energy system that generates electricity using solar panels to serve a specific area, such as a community, campus, or industrial site. It operates either independently or in conjunction with the main electrical grid, providing a reliable and sustainable power supply. Solar microgrids often include energy storage solutions, like batteries, to store excess energy for use during periods without sunlight.

Benefits of a Granville Micro Grid
At Granville, we believe addressing Africa’s energy crisis requires a solution that is not only quick to deploy and reliable in the long term, but also affordable for the end-beneficiaries.
- Start small and add additional micro grids to form an even larger collective energy pool
- When one pool goes down, the others will compensate for the loss of power
- Supplement Micro grid power supply with Municipal grid power.
- Conduct maintenance without needing to power down the entire grid.
Available Micro Grid Models
Centralized Generation Model
PV generation is limited to a single, centralized location. Power is then sent from the power plant to the respective properties.
Distributed Rooftop Generation Model
PV generation is distributed amongst the various rooftops in the community. Residents lease their roof space receive compensation.
