Sandbar's Microgrid: Powering a Better Future

The time is now to invest in a sustainable electricity system. In 2018, we designed and installed a microgrid to effectively power our large office and warehouse (read case study here). This independent energy source utilizes solar panels, an energy storage system, and a natural gas generator to supply clean, renewable energy to our facility. We no longer rely on utility companies for electricity and are therefore not affected by power outages.

At Sandbar, we are committed to “going green” and making our community and the world a better place for generations to come through the use of resilient energy. Are you ready to learn how your home or business can benefit from energy storage systems? Join us today, and power a better future.
