Standard Microgrid is a self-contained, community-managed renewable power grid that can be deployed anywhere at a standard cost. Rather than paying a utility company for electricity by the kilowatt unit, a local Microgrid manger is provided simple tools to manage the grid and distribute subscription credit to connected community members. Power generated is stored in batteries and supply and demand is balanced to ensure reliability and eliminate electricity waste. The system is low-maintenance and robust, making it ideal for rural African electrification.
