Mobile Emergency Power for Disaster Response
Reliable, rapidly deployable power for emergency preparedness, response and recovery
Severe weather, natural disasters and grid disruptions can leave communities without electricity when critical services are needed most.
Emergency managers need dependable power to maintain communications, operate command centers, charge devices, refrigerate medicines, provide lighting, support sanitation services and keep essential equipment running.

Fast, Practical Power for Emergency Operations
Is your community prepared to maintain critical operations during an extended outage?
Sesame Solar Mobile Nanogrids provide rapidly deployable, off-grid power for emergency preparedness, disaster response and community recovery.
Each Mobile Nanogrid arrives ready to operate and combines solar generation, battery storage and hydrogen technology in one mobile system. Energy is generated and stored onsite, helping emergency operations reduce their dependence on diesel deliveries, generator refueling and vulnerable fuel-supply chains.
With access to sunlight and water, Sesame Solar Mobile Nanogrids are designed to support extended operations wherever reliable power is needed.
Planning an Emergency Power Project?
Sesame Solar can help your organization identify potential federal, state, local, tribal and utility funding programs that may support emergency preparedness, infrastructure resilience and continuity-of-operations projects.
Funding availability and eligibility vary by program.
Fast, Practical Power for Emergency Operations
Sesame Solar makes it easier for communities, emergency-management agencies, utilities and private-sector organizations to deploy power where and when it is needed.
Our Mobile Nanogrids are designed to strengthen operational readiness without requiring permanent energy infrastructure or fuel supply chains.

Sesame Solar Mobile Nanogrids in Action
Supporting Hurricane Ian Response in Fort Myers
Following Hurricane Ian in 2022, Comcast rapidly deployed Sesame Solar Mobile Nanogrids to Fort Myers, Florida.
The Mobile Nanogrids supplied power for emergency communications, showers, laundry, sanitation services and other essential operations. Approximately 300 emergency-response workers, employees and residents used these services each day.
By providing mobile, off-grid power at the point of need, Sesame Solar helped support response personnel and community members while crews worked to restore the communications network and utility grid.
Prepare Before the Next Power Emergency
A dependable emergency-power strategy can help your organization maintain communications, protect essential services and respond more effectively when the grid is unavailable.
Learn how Sesame Solar Mobile Nanogrids can strengthen your emergency preparedness and continuity-of-operations plans.

Key Facts
Learn more about the power and versatility of Sesame Solar's Nanogrid.
Our award-winning design allows for a single person to set up the Sesame Solar Nanogrid in under 15 mins.
An average U.S. home draws 20-24 kW of power in a day, so a single Sesame Solar Nanogrid can power 4-6 houses. A cluster of 3 Sesame Solar Nanogrid Solutions could power 12-18 houses.
The energy stored in each Sesame Solar Nanogrid in a day can charge over 650 laptops and 2,500 phones.
Hydrogen gas is produced inside our Nanogrids using electrolyzers, which decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. The hydrogen is "green" because it is made using solar power. The green hydrogen gas is stored in solid state storage tanks on the outside of the Nanogrid at low pressure (less than 300 psi) making it safe to transport. The oxygen gas is safely vented. When the batteries are discharged to 35%, the onboard Hydrogen Fuel cell starts charging the batteries using the stored, green hydrogen gas. When the batteries are recharged, the Hydrogen Fuel cell shuts off. Electrolysis continues to produce hydrogen gas until the storage tanks are full, then it shuts off and the batteries are again charged using solar power. This system provides a clean energy loop.
Sesame Solar Nanogrids can provide 132 gallons/500 liters of potable water per day.
Nanogrids can produce between 3-20 kW of solar power, with total battery storage of 15-150 kWh. Engineered to meet peak and average use and provide uninterrupted, sustainable power.
Depending on the model, Sesame Solar Nanogrids can produce between 3 - 20 kW of solar power, with a total battery storage of 15 - 150 kWh and back fuel cell power of 2 - 8 kW and/or wind power of 1 -2 kW. Sesame Solar Solutions are engineered to meet peak and average use and provide uninterrupted, sustainable power. Hybrid models incorporating generators are also available.
Sesame Solar Nanogrids provide clean, solar power for virtually any application. From military to medical to telecommunications, every industry needs electricity to operate effectively. Sesame Solar Solutions are engineered to be modular, customizable and re-configurable without being costly.
The Sesame Solar Nanogrid is shipped ready-to-use as a Dual or Tri Axle Trailer or an ISO shipping container. Dual Axle Dimensions: Ranges from 14’ - 24’ and ISO. Shipping Containers Dimensions: 10’ or 20’ or 40’ Our innovative design also enables the Sesame Solar Nanogrid to function as a shipping vehicle as it is transported to its destination.
The 10 metric tons of CO2 emission savings in a year from daily use of one Sesame Solar Solutions (40 kWh) is equivalent to GHG emissions from driving an average gasoline powered vehicle for 30,000 miles. The average U.S. driver drives approximately 10,000 miles per year so that’s like saving the GHG emissions from 3 cars.
