The 100 kilowatt (kW) micro-grid currently provides quality electricity to a population of more than 2200 in Dharnai village of Jehanabad district in Bihar.<\/strong> The solar powered micro-grid provides electricity to more than 400 households and 50 commercial establishments as well as 60 street lights, energy requirements of two schools, one health centre and one Kisan Training Centre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMicrogrids are small-scale power grids that can operate independently or in conjunction with the area&#8217;s main electrical grid, \u201csaid Marlene Moore, Vice President Marketing at Green Power Labs Inc. \u201cIn areas with no grid or with weak grids, solar power microgrids bring \u201ca better life\u2019 as one citizen of Dharma commented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Green Power Labs we support design and operation of microgrids by providing high resolution solar resource analytics to support design and siting of the grid. And once operational, we can support efficient management of the grid by forecasting the expected power output of the grid in real time\u201d.
