A New Standard For Energy Independence

If power from the grid is knocked out, you'll be in luck. The batteries shared between the homes in Salisbury Square Village will kick on to keep your home powered and the the solar arrays will work to recharge the batteries. 

For extended multi-day outages during times of limited sunlight, there is a small chance that energy stored in the shared battery systems could be expended. This is a rare situation and the DC Microgrid has been designed to be fully resilient during common outages. 

Most components in the appliances are the same as most common appliances and can be repaired by most service providers. 

LG has also provided backup units for Salisbury Square Village. If a unit breaks and can't be fixed, there are backup units ready to move into place. 

The DC appliances work like most common electric appliances. 

They just use a fraction of the energy used by commonly available AC appliances. You won't notice any difference in how they function, but your electricity meter will. 

Yes! Every house will have two sets of plugs. One for DC appliances and one for regular AC power.
