It's so cool to see small to medium scale or "community" scale installations like this becoming a reality!

Interesting that more grocery stores or other "essential" sources of retail aren't starting to use solar / energy storage to stay online and be less grid reliant (especially stores or facilities that require services like refridgeration or climate control - alas pharmacies)?

I know of a couple of hotels that have added backup power. It's not cheap. We just got backup power (diesel) for our server room along with power conditioning because the power is not good. It was easier to go with diesel rather than wind/solar and battery both from an expertise and availability. Opportunity is not evenly distributed.

Walmart has co-generation facilities on the roof but I don’t think it is designed to operate as a micro grid. Refrigeration takes a lot of power. They probably have a generator too.
