SOLD OUT: Bronzeville Community Microgrid (Tour 2)

Join us for an insightful tour of the Bronzeville Community Microgrid (BCM). This tour will provide an in-depth look at the 750 kW photovoltaic (PV) system installed in December 2019, which supplies solar energy to the microgrid. You’ll also learn about the 500 kW/2MWh battery deployed in December 2019, which stores power from the solar panels to enhance resiliency. A Microgrid Master Controller (MMC) controls both the solar panels and the microgrid’s generators and went live in December 2022.
