Microgrid Controller Global Market Report 2026

A microgrid controller is a system designed to manage and control a microgrid, determining when and how it should connect to or disconnect from the main grid. Its primary function is to automate and control all the components within the microgrid, as well as the connections to the larger electricity grid, to meet electricity demand while maintaining stable operational conditions.

The main types of connectivity in the microgrid controller market are grid-connected and off-grid. Off-grid microgrids are not connected to the main electricity grid, while grid-connected microgrids have electrical links to the main grid, allowing for power distribution and usage. The offerings in the microgrid controller market include hardware, software, and services. These are utilized by various industries, including commercial and industrial sectors, remote areas, military applications, government utilities, institutes and campuses, as well as healthcare facilities.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the microgrid controller market by increasing the costs of imported semiconductors, power electronics, communication modules, and control hardware used in grid-connected and off-grid systems. Commercial and industrial, government utilities, and remote area installations in North America and Europe face higher procurement costs due to reliance on globally sourced components. However, tariffs are also encouraging local manufacturing of control equipment, promoting regional supply chain stability, and supporting innovation in cost-efficient microgrid automation technologies that enhance long-term energy resilience.

The rise in renewable energy is expected to drive the growth of the microgrid controller market going forward. Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources such as sunlight, wind, water, and biomass that are naturally replenished over time. The use of renewable energy is increasing due to the growing global focus on reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Microgrid controllers are used in renewable energy systems to efficiently manage, balance, and optimize the distribution of power from multiple energy sources, ensuring reliability and cost-effective operation. For example, in February 2025, according to the World Resources Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, solar energy set a new record in 2024 by adding an estimated 39.6 gigawatts (GW) of capacity, surpassing the 27.4 GW installed in 2023. Therefore, the rise in renewable energy is driving the microgrid controller market.

Key companies operating in the microgrid controller market are concentrating on developing advanced microgrids. Microgrids are small, self-contained energy systems capable of operating independently or alongside the main power grid. For example, in October 2023, Vertiv, a US-based provider of critical digital infrastructure, introduced a 1-MW microgrid to support its new customer experience center. The key components of a 1-MW microgrid include a 1-MW alternating current (AC) solar array, a 400-kW hydrogen fuel cell, a 1-MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system, and a microgrid controller. This 1-MW microgrid was designed to demonstrate how data centers can address grid capacity and availability challenges.

In August 2024, Generac Power Systems, a US-based manufacturer of backup power generators, battery energy storage systems, and integrated microgrid solutions, acquired Ageto for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Generac aims to strengthen its microgrid controller portfolio and incorporate advanced software-driven control features across its commercial and industrial multi-asset systems, enhancing both its value proposition and competitive standing in the microgrid controller market. Ageto is a US-based provider of microgrid controllers that offer unified monitoring, optimization, and management of distributed conventional resources, renewable energy systems, and EV chargers.
