SolMicroGrid will deploy, own and operate the solar PV and on-site battery energy storage system under an energy-as-a-service (EaaS) agreement with franchise operator Dependable Foods. "Partnering with SolMicroGrid to install a microgrid system at our restaurant is a game-changer for us,” said Ron Dhillon, Wendy''s franchisee and CEO of
This consequently reduces the cost of energy (COE) by 30% and the total net present cost (NPC) of the simulated system by a further 25% as compared to a current diesel-only microgrid. The deployment of a hybrid microgrid shows the viability of a better economic prospect than the current “business-as-usual” scenario in Somaliland.
