π‘ What is a microgrid?
A microgrid is a local energy system that can generate, store, and manage its own electricity β either independently or while connected to the national grid. At Lugh, our microgrids are grid-connected, giving you the flexibility to use the grid as a backup while maximising your own renewable generation on site.
|
βοΈ What makes Lugh Microgrid different?
Unlike traditional solar-only or off-grid systems, our modular platform blends solar, wind, BESS and more β giving you control, resilience, and performance in one intelligent system.
|
π How quickly can a system be installed?
Most systems go from design to commissioning in 8β12 weeks. No compliance testing, no grid upgrade delays.
|
π What size of business is this for?
We support clients from 50kW to 50MW β including:
- Farms and agribusinesses
- Food processors and distilleries
- Data centres and logistics hubs
- Energy-intensive manufacturers
|
π Do I still need my grid connection?
Yes β and thatβs a benefit. The grid acts as fallback only. You stay resilient, but reduce your reliance dramatically.
|
βοΈ Whatβs the difference between grid-connected and island (off-grid) systems?
Off-grid systems require larger storage and generation to cover all conditions. A Lugh Microgrid uses the grid as safety net, reducing cost, size, and complexity.
|
βοΈ Why blend solar with wind and storage?
Each source complements the others. Wind balances night and winter. Storage matches peaks. Together, they reduce cost, cut carbon, and improve payback.
|
π How much could I save?
Many clients cut 70β90% of their utility spend and see significant COβ reductions. Weβll model this in your proposal using real site data.
|
π Will this help with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions?
Yes β and weβll help you prove it. Our Lugh View EMS tracks and reports monthly Scope 1 & 2 reductions, ready for audits, ESG, and funding submissions.
|
π₯οΈ What is Lugh View?
Our in-house EMS platform. It tracks load, generation, anomalies and emissions in real time β and integrates with your dashboards or compliance reports.
|
πͺπΊ What hardware do you use?
Only trusted European partners:
- SoliTek β solar and storage (Cradle to Cradle certified)
- Dospel β quiet vertical wind turbines
Long warranties, full traceability, no compromise.
|
π How do I get started?
Just drop us a message. Weβll assess your site and provide a custom proposal including system sizing, performance, savings and ROI.
