Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a microgrid and backup generators?
While generators provide temporary power, microgrids are permanent energy ecosystems that intelligently manage multiple generation sources, storage, and loads for continuous optimized operation.
How quickly can a microgrid island from the main grid?
Nexcap systems detect outages and island in <2 cycles (33ms), with seamless reconnection when grid power stabilizes.
Can microgrids participate in utility programs?
Yes, our systems are designed for demand response, frequency regulation, and virtual power plant participation to generate revenue.
What maintenance is required?
Our systems require minimal maintenance - primarily software updates and annual preventative checks of physical components.
