The microgrid is powered by UC San Diego's existing energy infrastructure and consists of a 30-megawatt (MW) electric cogeneration plant, 3 MW of existing solar photovoltaic (PV), a former lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) currently in the.

The good news is that it's entirely possible to add battery storage to an existing solar panel setup. So-called “storage ready” systems are already equipped with an inverter that can easily direct excess power into a battery.
