Community, Military, and Island sites, like Porto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska,  
. . . these types of microgrids heavily favor Solar as a reliable, and resilient power source,
. . . that can maintain operations, during storm events, and grid outages.

The majority of operational, and planned microgrids are located in the Northeast,
. . . where extreme weather in states like New York, and Massachusetts,
. . . demand the improved resistance to power outages, that microgrids provide.

There are 104 planned microgrid projects, that will have a cumulative generation capacity of
. . . 1.55 GW, compared with
. . . 3.85 GW of installed capacity, which is tracked back over 50 years.

The Global microgrid market will become a
. . . $30.9 billion industry by 2027. During that period, global microgrid capacity will grow from less than
. . . 4 GW to around
. . . 150 GW.
