THE PROBLEM

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.

$24.15/mo

SCE's Base Services Charge for standard residential customers; discounted charges apply to qualifying customers.

75% lower

Approximate change from NEM 2.0 retail-rate export credits to the avoided-cost basis used under Net Billing; actual credits vary by hour and utility.

30% → 0%

The federal Section 25D residential clean energy credit was 30% through 2025 and is unavailable for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.

Nearly 70%

Share of California Net Billing Tariff customers who paired battery storage with solar by the end of 2024.

“By 2028, 50% of people who move into new homes will not be calling the utility — they will be building microgrids.”
— Vincent Battaglia, Mycrogrid®

SOLAR-ONLY INDUSTRY EVOLUTION

Solar alone was sold as independence. The utility still had control.

For twenty years, the industry sold panels that stayed tied to the utility's rules. Net metering made it look like freedom — then the credits shrank, NEM 3.0 gutted export rates, and the model most solar companies were built on collapsed.

Grid-tied by design


Most systems were never designed for independence. They were built to fit inside a utility-controlled framework — the utility still decides how your energy flows.

The deal changed overnight


NEM 3.0 cut the value of exported solar by roughly 75%. Systems designed around sending power back lost the math they were sold on.

Homeowners left behind

Installers built on the old model are disappearing — leaving orphaned systems with nobody watching them and nobody to call.

Why Mycrogrid® exists

The microgrid is the model.

Mycrogrid® is built for people who want more than a solar installation. We build solutions in residential and commercial energy infrastructure.

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 Mycrogrid® operating model

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.

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.
