Grid-Independent Microgrids for Critical Infrastructure
Parasol Elite Power designs and deploys behind-the-meter microgrids that generate, store, and distribute power without utility grid dependence. Modular, scalable, and operational in weeks — not years.
The Grid Can't Keep Up
Aging transmission infrastructure, extreme weather events, and surging demand from electrification and AI workloads are pushing grid reliability to its limits. Facilities that depend on utility power face escalating risk — and the interconnection queue means new grid capacity is years away.
A Complete Behind-the-Meter Power Island
Parasol microgrids integrate generation, storage, and intelligent controls into a single coordinated system. Whether powered by natural gas, solar, biomass, or a hybrid of sources, every Parasol microgrid is engineered to operate independently of the utility grid — providing firm, dispatchable power on your schedule.
Multi-Source Generation
Integrate natural gas gensets, solar PV, biomass, and battery storage into a single coordinated microgrid. Parasol's EMS optimizes dispatch across all sources in real time.
Seamless Grid Islanding
Automatic transfer to island mode in under 20ms. Your facility stays online through grid outages, brownouts, and utility maintenance windows without interruption.
Modular Architecture
Start with the capacity you need today and expand as demand grows. Each generation and storage module is independently operable and field-upgradeable.
Parasol EMS Integration
The Parasol Energy Management System provides unified visibility and control across generation, storage, and load — with demand forecasting, automated dispatch, and remote monitoring.
Behind-the-Meter Economics
Eliminate demand charges, reduce energy costs, and capture value from on-site generation. Parasol microgrids are engineered for positive ROI from day one.
Rapid Deployment
Containerized, factory-tested equipment ships ready to commission. Most Parasol microgrid deployments reach full operation in 8–16 weeks from contract execution.
How a Parasol Microgrid Works
Generate
On-site generation from natural gas, solar, biomass, or hybrid sources provides the primary power supply — independent of the utility grid.
Store
LFP or sodium battery storage buffers generation variability, provides instantaneous response, and extends run time during generation maintenance windows.
Control
The Parasol EMS continuously optimizes dispatch across all generation and storage assets, balancing load, minimizing fuel consumption, and maintaining power quality.
Deliver
Clean, stable power is distributed to your facility at the voltage and frequency your equipment requires — with sub-20ms response to load changes.
Microgrid Applications
AI Data Centers
Provide firm, grid-independent power to hyperscale and edge AI compute facilities that cannot wait years for utility interconnection.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Protect continuous process operations from grid instability and eliminate demand charges with behind-the-meter generation and storage.
Remote & Off-Grid Sites
Replace diesel gensets with cleaner, lower-cost hybrid microgrids at mining, oil & gas, agriculture, and remote infrastructure sites.
Military & Government
Mission-critical energy resilience for bases, emergency operations centers, and government facilities requiring guaranteed uptime.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Uninterruptible power for hospitals, research labs, and pharmaceutical manufacturing where outages carry life-safety and compliance consequences.
Campus & Community
Resilient distributed energy for university campuses, mixed-use developments, and community microgrids serving multiple buildings or tenants.
