Micro-grids in a box deploying industrial power autonomously in weeks
Micora re-designed the process of building solar farms to optimize speed to power generation and portability. The product suite combines a palletized solar block, a containerized energy storage system, and low-cost autonomous robots that deploy a solar farm on-site in days to weeks – and pack it back up when needed.
