Part of our mission is educating the public, and our contemporaries, about DC power and the microgrid concept. The graphic below illustrates how, using Nextek engineered products, it is possible to create a microgrid, an island of DC power, stemming from the standard AC grid. Hover over different areas of the graphic to learn more about how to do more with your energy.
Where you're likely getting your power from now- power lines carrying alternating current distribute electricity to your building. This power needs to be converted to direct current before being used with your DC appliances.
Solar panels generate direct current, or DC power, which can be used directly by DC appliances.
Wind panels generate direct current, or DC power, which can be used directly by DC appliances.
DC-DC converters maximize the power generated by photovoltaic panels independently of temperature and the amount of solar irradiation.
What does the future hold? Whether it utilizes A/C or DC power Nextek Power's engineered energy solutions will ensure that your operation runs smoothly and efficiently.
