Peak Power Solar now designs and installs Victron Microgrid systems, a new approach from Victron Energy for building large, flexible off-grid power systems out of smaller, independent building blocks.
Rather than one large centralized inverter installation, Victron Microgrid connects multiple independent Victron inverter/charger systems — called Power Banks — onto a shared AC bus. Each Power Bank is a complete, self-contained installation with its own inverter/chargers, batteries, and monitoring. There’s no central controller and no data-communication wiring required between units; load sharing happens automatically over the AC bus, even when Power Banks are different sizes. Systems can scale this way up to 400 kW.
The practical benefits carry over directly to the kind of remote and multi-building sites Peak Power works on across Nepal:
- Redundancy. If one Power Bank is taken offline for maintenance or faults, the rest keep supplying the AC bus without interruption.
- Incremental scaling. Capacity can be added by connecting another Power Bank as demand grows, without reworking or derating the existing system.
- Familiar hardware. Microgrid uses the same Victron inverter/chargers, batteries, charge controllers, and GX monitoring devices installers already work with — each Power Bank still reports individually through its own GX device and VRM.
- Portability. Because each Power Bank is self-contained, it’s well suited to containerized deployments that may need to move between sites.
For Nepal, this is a good fit for village microgrids and institutional sites that are likely to grow over time — a health post or school system installed today can gain a second Power Bank later as load increases, without a full system redesign.
