A Solar Microgrid Grows in Brooklyn
We have a kilowatt of solar electric on the roof of our 1743 colonial farmhouse. But a few years ago when the October Blizzard knocked out our power for three days, we couldn’t tap into that solar.
Officials in Brooklyn, New York recognized the problem. Brooklyn had a lot of power outages during Hurricane Sandy—and officials in the densely populated borough, home to more than 2.5 million people, have gotten state support to pilot a microgrid program that would allow Brooklyn’s solar systems to keep powering houses and workplaces if the grid goes down.
