Fast-deploying solar/hydrogen nanogrid wheels emergency power off-grid

Michigan energy systems company Sesame Solar announced this week what it calls the world’s first 100-percent renewable mobile nanogrid. Powered by both its wing-like solar panel spread and green hydrogen, the next-generation modular nanogrid gets transported into off-grid emergency zones and goes live in a matter of minutes, delivering weeks of autonomous electricity where it’s desperately needed. Sesame developed the new nanogrid as a cleaner alternative to options powered by fossil fuels. Ranging between 10 and 40 feet (3 and 12 m) long, the Sesame nanogrids are designed to take the shape of either a dual-axle trailer or an ISO shipping container, readily transported via ship, cargo plane, truck, helicopter, train, crane or forklift. In this way, they can transport energy to all kinds of off-grid scenarios, including natural disaster relief, medical response and military…
