Distributed generation (DG) is the production of electricity near the point of consumption, often using smaller, modular, and renewable energy sources. Microgrids are systems that utilize DG sources, such as rooftop solar panels or small wind turbines, to power a localized area.

The Solar Generator is a generator added by Mekanism. It produces approximately 18 RF/t, 46. 65 EU/t or 19 T/t during daylight hours and a very small amount when it is raining.

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity.

This video provides instructions on how to build a simple wind turbine using magnets and materials from a DIY store. Axial flux off-grid wind turbines are among the most efficient micro turbines currently available and are relatively easy for any backyard builder to build.
