Purchasing Options
ShopSolar finances projects through Microgrid Service Agreements (MSAs), similar to Energy Service Agreements (ESAs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). Many businesses find microgrids technically and economically advantageous, yet prefer not to deal with the technological, construction, and performance risks of complex power systems. To address this, our MSA involves no initial or ongoing O&M costs for clients. We retain ownership of the microgrid, billing clients only for the energy services provided – be it energy, standby capacity, infrastructure enhancements, or more. Our pricing, lower than conventional options like utility power and backup generators, enables customers to save money and mitigate risk through a straightforward and transparent approach. Moreover, any issues that arise are our responsibility, ensuring peace of mind for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a microgrid?
Microgrids are smart, interconnected energy systems encompassing clean energy supply, storage, and demand applications. Advanced controls enable isolation of individual components for optimal energy source matching and operational protection during outages. -
Why would I want a microgrid?
A microgrid brings many advantages from operational efficiency and financial savings to environmental sustainability. The quest for energy resilience often motivates the need for a microgrid. When the local utility grid falls short in supporting power, a microgrid steps in to ensure adequate supply. It offers financial gains through reduced energy costs, savings on delivery, demand, and capacity charges, and potentially a lower tariff rate. Additionally, a microgrid can contribute to earning environmental credits and enhancing ESG profiles. -
Why do I need a microgrid when I can just install solar? Why is a microgrid better than just solar and a battery?
While solar PV can effectively cut energy costs and boosts your facility's sustainability, it's tied to the grid and fails during outages and is subject to rate hikes. Pairing solar with a battery can further decrease electricity expenses by lowering utility demand charges and is a natural next step. Microgrids combine solar and battery systems, offer a future-forward solution, suitable for projects ranging from small-scale to utility-level. They provide not only deeper savings than standalone solar or solar-plus-storage systems but also ensure energy resilience during utility failures. Microgrids often result in substantially lower carbon emissions compared to solar alone. These systems may include additional distributed energy resources like reciprocating engines or hydrogen fuel cells, enhancing their efficiency and sustainability.
