Monitors 24/7
Watches your microgrid around the clock instead of frustratingly leaving you to read graphs.
True energy independence
The Utility becomes backup to YOUR grid!
Produce it. Store it. Monitor it. Control it.
Why Mycrogrid® exists
A Mycrogrid® makes energy personal. That changes everything.
Mycrogrid® is built for people who want more than a solar installation. We build solutions in residential and commercial energy infrastructure. We focus on what happens after the equipment is installed...how your system produces, stores, protects, and manages energy on your property. Every Mycrogrid® includes access to Mycroguard™, the software platform that helps you monitor, manage, and optimize your energy ecosystem.
Mission Mycrogrid® is committed to delivering practical, sustainable solar and battery storage solutions that give people true energy independence, resilience, and control over their power.
Audience Anyone ready to take a more active role in managing their energy by adding real-time monitoring visibility. If we can see the system then it is a Mycrogrid®.
History Founded on decades of solar and energy leadership in the deserts of the Solar Southwest. The solar industry perfected installation. It never perfected ownership. That's why Mycrogrid® exists.
Mycroguard™ Proactive monitoring and control layer that turns solar + battery equipment into a 24/7 managed energy system.
Mycroguard™
The best monitoring system is the one you don't have to monitor.
Mycroguard™ is the software side of Mycrogrid®: proactive, 24/7 monitoring that diagnoses issues remotely, often before you even know there's a problem. It alerts you and helps coordinate the fix before small issues become big.
The protection layer for customer-specific microgrid systems: monitoring, service context, and operational visibility under one branded operating system and accessible through the Mycrogrid® app, the on-line Mycrogrid® portal by calling 1-833-MYGRID.
Diagnoses before you do
Catches and diagnoses issues remotely...often before you even know there's a problem.
Coordinates the fix
Alerts you and lines up the Mycroguard™ team before small issues become big.
What the mission puts first
Here is why Mycrogrid® exists, before we ever ask you for a call or a form fill.
01
Solar creates power. Phase I
Solar is the starting point. Phase I. It puts a generator on your roof and begins your move toward a more independent energy system.
02
Storage unlocks control. Phase II
Batteries let your home store, control, and use energy on its own terms instead of pulling everything from the grid. Phase II.
03
Microgrids are the next step. Phase III
Panels alone are not the whole answer. Paired with battery storage gets you closer. The destination is Mycrogrid®. An energy system that you actually control. Phase III.
04
Understanding what we are is first
We want you to understand how the system works before you ever talk to us about buying one.
Mission notes
What Mycrogrid® is built for.
Mycrogrid® is about where energy is actually headed: microgrids, local control, Mycroguard™ service software, and renewable energy systems that turn the utility into backup power.
Replace the old model
We move you away from forced grid-tied dependence and toward a system designed to work for you locally.
Keep power in the home
A microgrid makes solar more useful by generating, storing, and managing energy right at your property.
Built around control
Every system is designed so you decide when, where, and how your energy gets used.
Mycrogrid® is led by the founder and team behind more than two decades of trusted energy leadership in the Coachella Valley and across the Southwestern United States. Founded in Palm Desert, Mycrogrid® builds complete residential microgrids that integrate solar, battery storage, intelligent monitoring, and customer-specific energy technologies. Existing warranties and qualifying service relationships transition seamlessly when upgraded to a Mycrogrid®, with every qualifying upgrade including 15 years of Mycroguard® monitoring at no additional cost.
Who we build for
Built for homeowners and builders alike.
The same utility-independent thinking serves a single home and an entire development. Neither one comes second. Both get a system designed around control instead of dependency.
For homeowners
A complete energy system for your property: solar, storage, and Mycroguard monitoring designed to work as one.
- Control when, where, and how your own energy gets used
- Backup that keeps critical appliances on when the grid goes down
- 24/7 Mycroguard monitoring that catches issues before you do
For builders & developers
Utility-independent infrastructure so your projects move on your schedule, not the utility's. This is true energy independence at the development level.
- Control the timeline, deployment, and delivery in every home you build
- No interconnection fights, grid bottlenecks, or surprise upgrade costs
- Deliver self-sufficient energy communities that actually move
Mycrogrid® era
It's not a transportation revolution...It's a battery revolution.
Everyone thinks the EV revolution is about cars. It isn't. The same investment driving battery density higher, with more capacity, longer life, and lower cost, won't just power your car. It will power your home with AI powering your decisions and that's what makes the Mycrogrid® era possible.
Batteries change everything
The same wave of EV investment driving down battery costs is what makes home storage more capable and affordable.
Control, not just power
This is about more than generating electricity. It is about integrating the very best of AI interactivity controlling when, where, and how energy is used.
True energy independence
The destination is local, complete energy control: homes and businesses that generate, store, and manage their own energy using the utility grid as backup.
Phase shift
From rooftop solar tied to the utility grid to homeowner-owned batteries in control.
The progression is simple: generation first, storage second, independence last. This is how you accurately, safely and permanently cut the cord from the utility grid.
Phase I
Solar proved that households can generate power on-site. That was the first step, not the finish line.
Phase II
Storage is the next layer. It turns generation into independence and gives you control over when power is used.
Phase III - The Mycrogrid® era
The long game is not solar alone. That era lasted 20 years. Now, it is homeowner-owned energy infrastructure built around local control and resilience: a self-sustained home where the grid is just backup power.
Why now
The math just changed — and it points home.
The rules that made a grid-tied, send-everything-back system pay off are gone. What's left rewards the homes and developments that generate, store, and control their own power on-site. That is a microgrid — and it is quickly becoming the obvious choice, not the bold one.
$25 → $70 Projected monthly utility fee just to stay connected to the grid by the end of 2026.
−75% How much NEM 3.0 cut the value of the excess solar a system sends back to the grid.
30% → 0% The federal solar tax credit has ended, so the old upfront discount is gone.
10% → ~60% Share of new solar now paired with a battery, roughly 5,000 home storage systems a month.
By 2028, 50% of people who move into new homes will not be calling the utility — they will be building microgrids.

HELOC Pricing
Ways to use a HELOC for solar.
A HELOC can fit a microgrid project in a few different ways. Here is how each one works, without pretending every lender or rate is the same.
Most direct
Upfront draw
Fund the full system from your HELOC so the installation moves in one clean step.
- Good when your lender terms are already in place
- Simple for one-time project funding
Flexible
Split funding
Cover part of the project in cash and use the HELOC for the rest or for later upgrades.
- Balances liquidity and speed
- Useful when you want to preserve cash
Future-ready
Phased expansion
Start with the core solar array and draw on the HELOC later for battery storage or added equipment.
- Fits buyers who want to stage the investment
- Leaves room for a second project phase
Important: HELOC terms, draw periods, and rates vary by lender. Talk with us and your lender to map the option that fits your project.
