The microgrid market is filled with innovation. Across the country, companies are offering resilient, efficient, “future-ready” energy solutions, and many are bringing highly specialized technologies to market. From batteries and fuel cells to microgrid controllers and EMS software, these engineered components are essential to the evolving energy landscape.
But while these products are impressive in their own right, they often come wrapped in a specific business model—one that centers on manufacturing and selling a particular piece of the puzzle. This approach tends to shape how a solution is defined. In many cases, it means the microgrid concept is built around the product, rather than the client’s needs. The result can be a technically sound system that is misaligned with site conditions, operating priorities, or long-term goals.
At PowerStack, we value these manufacturers and the depth of engineering expertise they bring to the table. Many of them are future partners and current vendors—we depend on their innovation to deliver high-performance systems. But we believe the role of the microgrid developer should be different. Our job is not to sell a product—it’s to deliver the right solution.
That’s why technology agnosticism is foundational to how we operate. We don't manufacture hardware, and we’re not tied to a single OEM catalog. Instead, we act as a fiduciary to our clients—assessing their objectives, site characteristics, financial structure, and resilience needs before making any technology recommendation. Every system we design is built from a clean sheet, driven by performance modeling and operational logic—not sales quotas.
This approach gives us the flexibility to evaluate a broad range of technologies—solar PV, natural gas or multi-fuel generators, linear generators, fuel cells, battery energy storage, advanced controllers, and more. We compare cost, reliability, incentive eligibility, and serviceability side by side, so our clients can make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
That flexibility is especially critical today. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), solar and wind incentives are being phased out on an accelerated timeline, while tax credits for dispatchable generation—such as fuel cells and linear generators—remain in place. At the same time, global supply chains continue to shift, and interconnection pathways are increasingly uncertain. When the only certainty is uncertainty, the smartest microgrid designer is the one who can adapt.
PowerStack’s technology-agnostic model enables us to deliver cost-effective systems under today’s constraints—while preserving the agility to respond to tomorrow’s market conditions. This means lower risk, faster deployment, and better alignment with your long-term energy strategy.
Ultimately, we don’t define success by the number of components we sell—we define it by how well your system performs. We measure value in uptime, avoided costs, operational control, and long-term sustainability. In a market crowded with component-first solutions, PowerStack serves as your solution-first partner—a team of engineers and developers who design for your mission, not for ours.
Because the best microgrid isn’t built around a brand.
It’s built around your future.
