Key Facts:
- The global DC microgrid market is expected to reach $9.8 billion by 2028, driven by demand from EV infrastructure, industrial automation, and logistics.
- Over 60% of U.S. manufacturers are integrating onsite renewables or microgrids to cut emissions and improve energy resilience.
- DC systems can deliver up to 30% more efficiency by eliminating AC-DC conversion—especially in data centers, warehouses, and EV charging hubs.
- Yet, DC protection standards remain fragmented, leaving industrial operators vulnerable to equipment damage, downtime, and safety risks.
