Powering Rapid Deployment Shelters with Renewable Energy When Disaster Strikes
Shelter disruption may occur for a variety of reasons—from weather disasters to economic constraints. Combining pop-up shelters with renewable, mobile power ensures your community is safe and healthy with heated and cooled shelter along with other supporting services such as clean water and device charging.

Innovative Solutions to America’s Homelessness Crisis and Disaster Response Efforts Come to National Mall
Sesame Solar recently partnered with Pallet Shelter to demonstrate their innovative disaster preparedness solutions that can be established within hours at the site of disaster.
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.
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 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.
The energy stored in each Sesame Solar Nanogrid in a day can charge over 650 laptops and 2,500 phones.
Sesame Solar Nanogrids can provide 132 gallons/500 liters of potable water per day.
Learn How to Get Tax Credits
As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, Sesame Solar Nanogrids qualify for 30% tax credits and/or direct payments. If deployed in disadvantaged communities or tribal nations, tax credits and/or direct payments may increase up to 50%.
