2. Home energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Energy_Storage

   As the number of people of grid increases, the cost of the grid will be spread across fewer consumers making, "the incentive to go off-grid only grow". [12] This is seen as an increasingly large disadvantage to home energy storage, as it could lead to the abandoning of a large infrastructure network created to maintain grids, price inflation ...

3. Mini-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-grid

   Most solar mini grids are hybridized with a diesel generator that provides backup power in the event of extended cloudy periods. [17] The diesel generator typically generates less than 10% of the energy consumed by mini grid customers on an annual basis.

4. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   Microgeneration is the small-scale production of heat or electric power from a "low carbon source," as an alternative or supplement to traditional centralized grid-connected power. Microgeneration technologies include small-scale wind turbines , micro hydro , solar PV systems , microbial fuel cells , ground source heat pumps , and micro ...

5. Tesla Powerwall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Powerwall

   A May 2015 article in Forbes magazine calculated that using a Tesla Powerwall 1 model combined with solar panels in a home would cost 30 cents/kWh for electricity if a home remains connected to the grid (the article acknowledges that the Tesla battery could make economic sense in applications that are entirely off-grid). US consumers got ...

6. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   A typical stand-alone solar PV system at a sewage treatment plant in Santuari de Lluc, Spain. Stand-alone photovoltaic power systems are independent of the utility grid and may use solar panels only or may be used in conjunction with a diesel generator, a wind turbine or batteries. [1] [2]

7. Captive power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_power_plant

   Captive power plants are generally used by power-intensive industries where continuity and quality of energy supply are crucial, such as aluminum smelters, steel plants, chemical plants, etc. [3] However, the radical cost declines for solar power systems have enabled the opportunity for less energy-intensive industries to economically grid defect by coupling solar PV with generators or ...
