Microgrid
100% renewably-powered
Since 2013, GreenBiz has built 100% renewably-powered microgrids to help power our VERGE events. The microgrid is an essential component of VERGE and acts as a visual example of the climate tech solutions the event brings to the forefront.
Tours will be available throughout the event to learn about the interoperability, resilience and radical efficiency of these technology solutions.
Registering with an Expo Pass will give you access to the VERGE 23 Expo — plus all keynote sessions, networking receptions and microgrid tours.
About the Microgrid
The VERGE microgrid is the world’s largest temporary microgrid demonstrating the power, resilience and efficiency of distributed energy solutions. Each microgrid is built on-site using a combination of off-the-shelf components from startups and leading solution providers. See this year's VERGE microgrid exhibitors below.

ARIS Modular Combi Heat Pump System
ARIS is cleaner, more efficient HVAC and hot water. ARIS harnesses the power of air-to-water heat pumps and superior thermal properties of water to create and deliver energy quietly and safely throughout the home. By combining and managing the primary drivers of building energy use and emissions (heating, cooling, hot water) the ARIS system replaces all dirty thermal appliances in use in the home at one time. Utilizing dedicated TES (thermal energy storage) with programable controls, ARIS offers built in load shifting and efficiency scheduling for increased cost savings and comfort. The system is modular and scalable to all building types, and climate zones, both retrofit and new build.
PowerFlex Charging Stations
PowerFlex is a clean technology solutions company making the transformation to carbon-free electrification and transportation possible. Our onsite intelligent energy management platform, PowerFlex X, monitors, controls, and optimizes onsite clean energy assets and reduces overall energy costs through adaptive algorithms that maximize distributed energy resources. Our patented Adaptive Load Management® technology manages charging for electric vehicles in real-time, taking into account the driver’s schedule, the building’s energy load, utility rates, and other factors. It also integrates with onsite solar generation or battery storage for a holistic approach to energy management.
Sesame.Solar Renewable Mobile Nanogrid
Sesame Solar is decarbonizing disaster response and off-grid power with the world’s first renewably powered Mobile Nanogrid. Powered by solar + green hydrogen + battery storage, Sesame’s Nanogrids start generating Clean Mobile Power in <15 minutes and are easily transported to bring clean power and essential services where it’s needed. Sesame’s Nanogrids are fast to deploy, easy to use and flexible for dozens of use cases including disaster response, powering telecommunications, mobile medical clinics, clean water generation and more.
NOMAD Transportable Power Systems
NOMAD units are fully transportable Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), that can be moved anywhere power is needed. With up to 2 MWH of energy and backed by next-generation battery cell technology from KORE Power, NOMAD is deliverable virtually anywhere in the world.
NOMAD offers a solution for short-term and seasonal energy needs, elimination of dirty Peaker plants, reducing peak energy usage for commercial businesses, and is a viable resource for utilities, relief organizations and hospitals during disaster recovery, microgrids for military & security installations, and remote research facilities.
Yotta Energy's SolarLEAF
Yotta's SolarLEAF is a modular energy storage device that seamlessly integrates behind each photovoltaic (PV) panel in a solar array greatly simplifying the development of solar microgrids. Engineered with smart thermal regulation technology, SolarLEAF safely enables a distributed and scalable format while maximizing the life and performance of the battery under extreme temperature conditions. Yotta’s software platform enables the aggregate system to address various energy control and resiliency needs. Find out more at www.yottaenergy.com.
NACFE OK Produce eCascadia
A bi-annual joint effort between the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) and RMI, Run on Less is a trucking demonstration that showcases advancements in freight efficiency. This year’s event, Run on Less – Electric DEPOT (RoL-E DEPOT), featured 10 fleet depots with 15+ Class 3 to 8 battery electric vehicles operating in the U.S. and Canada. Data was collected from 22 trucks operating out of the 10 fleet depots. Initial findings tell us that small depots are ready for electrification now and electrification at large depots is becoming more possible, and much more. RoL-E DEPOT participant OK Produce joins us with an eCascadia. Visit runonless.com for more information.
Smartflower
Smartflower is a revolutionary solar energy system that follows the sun from sunrise to sunset. The dual-axis system allows Smartflower’s solar panels to follow the sun across the sky throughout the day, always maintaining the optimal 90° angle to the sun. This makes Smartflower produce up to 40% more power than a conventional solar system and capable of producing 4,000-6,400 kWh/year, depending on your location. There’s no better way to showcase your commitment to sustainability than with a Smartflower.
