Companies who neglect to acknowledge and adjust to these environs (pun intended) run the risk of consequences of every size and scale - from bad PR to literal hurricanes.*  One of the most effective ways that businesses can flip the script on their emissions is with a [Catalyst Power Connected Microgrid](https://catalystpower.com/our-solutions/connected-microgrid/).  Organizations that build a Connected Microgrid begin by enlisting Catalyst Power to install solar panels on the business’ property. That hardware is then connected to the larger grid, which the business can tap into when necessary, hence remaining “connected.” Not only does having a sustainable power-source on-site lower overall costs, it also actively reduces harmful emissions immediately and consistently.   As with most sustainability efforts, the positive impact grows as participation increases. The more organizations that adopt Connected Microgrids, the more successful and reliable those grids will be. (And the closer we’ll get to a clean planet… no big deal).  **At Catalyst Power, we build, own, and operate each customer’s Connected Microgrid at no up-front cost to you and our simple online sign up process makes it quick and efficient to start the building process.**  Our solar panels significantly reduce emissions and generate solar energy right on your property as soon as your microgrid gets online. By teaming up with Catalyst Power, you’re contributing to environmentally positive efforts and connecting your business to an increasingly sustainable grid.  With a Catalyst Power Connected Microgrid solution, your business can produce sustainable, environmentally aware power on-site. **You can [save money](https://blog.catalystpower.com/immediate-savings-budget-certainty-connected-microgrid), [protect yourself against outages](https://blog.catalystpower.com/outage-protection-with-a-connected-microgrid), and be an integral part of shaping a cleaner, future-preserving, energy ecosystem. ** **[![Talk to an Expert](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/20012953/b15be1d0-0dd5-475b-b715-6a4f514b88c4.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/20012953/b15be1d0-0dd5-475b-b715-6a4f514b88c4)** *Obviously the action of only one company is not going to actually cause a hurricane, but you get what we’re saying. It’s cumulative.
