Off-Grid Microgrids: When the Grid Isn’t There — We Are.

While we favour grid-connected microgrids where possible, some sites have no access to the grid at all — and no realistic path to get it. Whether you’re powering a remote facility, a temporary construction site, or an off-grid home or business, Lugh Off-Grid Microgrids give you energy independence without compromise.

Built with the same control and resilience as our grid-connected systems, our off-grid platforms combine solar, wind, battery storage and intelligent generator integration to keep your site powered — quietly, cleanly, and reliably.

🧠 Smart, Self-Sufficient, Site-Matched

Every off-grid system we build is powered by the Lugh energy management platform, offering full insight, control and automation:

✅ Real-time system monitoring via Lugh View EMS

✅ Smart generator dispatch to reduce fuel burn

✅ Battery-first load handling with charge forecasting

✅ Live fault alerts and performance optimisation

✅ Scope 1 emissions tracking and monthly reporting

🚧 Mobile or Permanent: Designed to Fit

Off-grid doesn’t mean one-size-fits-all. We offer both fixed installations and modular, mobile systems ideal for:

🏗️ Construction sites

🏕️ Temporary facilities

🎬 Film production or events

🏚️ Cabins, glamping or off-grid housing

🛠️ Disaster relief and backup deployments

With containerised enclosures, ruggedised battery systems and generator integration, our solutions can be delivered ready-to-run — no concrete, no cabling, no grid required.

🔧 Generator + Battery = Smarter Fuel Use

Diesel and HVO generators are often a necessity in off-grid setups — but with Lugh control systems, they’re used only when needed, and run efficiently at full load to:

🔋 Charge batteries quickly, avoiding light-load engine stress

⛽ Reduce fuel use through optimised runtime

🔇 Minimise noise and emissions

📈 Extend generator lifespan

No more 24/7 running costs. Just clean power first — with smart fallback when needed.

📍 Key Off-Grid Considerations

We’ll help you assess and design the right system for your site, taking into account:

🔋 Storage capacity for overnight and weather events

🌦️ Solar/wind blending to reduce generator dependence

⛽ HVO or diesel generator backup, fully integrated

🛠 Site access, logistics and maintenance planning

🧾 Data, reporting and regulatory compliance

✅ Ideal When:

🧱 No grid connection is available — ever

🧾 Temporary grid access is delayed or expensive

🏕 Site use is short-term, mobile or seasonal

🛢 Fuel reliance needs to be reduced and automated

🌍 You want to lower emissions while staying energy-secure
