Jackson, Michigan-based Sesame Solar is today unveiling what it claims is the world’s first fully renewable mobile nanogrid – that’s a small microgrid – that runs on solar and green hydrogen.
Solar + green hydrogen nanogrid
The nanogrid’s solar array is electronically unfolded, and it’s ready to start generating power within 15 minutes. The company claims it can be set up by a single person.
Depending on the model, as the nanogrid is modular and customizable, Sesame Solar’s turnkey nanogrids can produce between 3 and 20 kW of solar power, with total battery storage of 15 to 150 kWh. It’s designed to meet peak and average use and provide uninterrupted sustainable power. The company says the nanogrids are shipped within 45 days after the order is placed and claims they’re good for 20 years. The average cost is around $150,000.
Set up in minutes
In less than 15 minutes, 1 person can set up Sesame Solar Nanogrids to begin supplying reliable renewable energy. Augmented reality and field trainings are embedded in the Nanogrid to empower non-experts
- Easily transported and arrives ready-to-use
- Rapid global deployment
- No onsite expertise required
- Low maintenance
Fueled by Solar Power and Green Hydrogen
As the first of its kind Solution, Sesame Solar’s Nanogrids leverage solar power and green hydrogen to bring energy where its needed most.
- No greenhouse gas emissions compared to the pollution, costs and risks of transporting fossil fuel generators.
- Closed loop energy system
- 100% off-grid power
- when the batteries are at 35% capacity, the hydrogen fuel cell provides power to the inverter.
- Small wind turbines can be added
Off-Grid, Modular Mobile Office Inside
Specifically designed, built, and preconfigured for multi-use case scenarios allow the Nanogrids to double as facilities for multiuse case scenarios such as a mobile clinic, an office, an emergency response center, a mobile retail pop-up or for remote military applications, and many more.
- Easily configured for custom applications (office, clinic, etc.)
- Can be clustered to form mini-grids
Sesame Solar CEO Lauren Flanagan, an early SaaS pioneer who worked with Steve Jobs at NeXT as a software developer, said:
- Our nanogrids are changing the trajectory of the effects of climate change while providing communities in distress with the power they need to access critical resources.
- While we can’t stop hurricanes or wildfires from happening, we can create solutions that help communities recover efficiently without causing further damage to the environment.
