A microgrid was installed in the remote village of Shungnak, Alaska, to replace an expensive and polluting diesel generator power plant. The solar-plus-storage system consists of a 225-kW solar array with 12, 32-kWh Blue Ion LX cabinet batteries. The setup will save 25,000 gallons of fuel ($200,000) a year and serve as a model for other remote communities.
