Hotel Marcel isn’t just architecturally unique—it’s also the first net-zero energy hotel in the U.S. The all-electric building is powered by a solar powered microgrid that includes rooftop PV, a battery energy storage system, and Generac’s ARC microgrid control system.
Designed for resilience and sustainability, this commercial microgrid supplies 100% of the hotel’s energy needs and provides backup during utility outages. The system intelligently shifts solar and
battery usage to align with hotel load profiles and time-of-use rates, ensuring optimal performance and cost savings.
During grid interruptions, the ARC controller island the facility and dispatches power to critical building systems like refrigeration, lighting, and HVAC. This microgrid technology not only reduces the carbon footprint but also enhances guest safety and business continuity.
Hotel Marcel stands as a blueprint for future hospitality infrastructure—sustainable, reliable, and self-sufficient thanks to intelligent microgrid energy management.
