Decarbonizing Disaster Response and Off-Grid Power with Mobile Nanogrids that can be setup by 1 person <15 min.
About us
Sesame Solar manufactures the world’s first 100% renewably-powered Mobile Nanogrids. Using solar and green hydrogen, our Nanogrids generate clean, off-grid power and are shipped ready-to-use to meet essential services and emergency response needs across a variety of scenarios. One person can set them up with very little training to start generating clean energy in 15 minutes. They are easily transported by truck, train, ship, plane or helicopter. The U.S. Air Force, major telcos and emergency response organizations are already using Sesame Solar’s Mobile Nanogrids, with the most popular use cases being medical centers, water filtration and communication services. Made in Michigan, USA, by a multicultural team of visionaries, engineers, architects, environmentalists, and technicians, Sesame Solar is VC backed by Morgan Stanley, VSC Ventures, PAX Angels, and BELLE Capital.

Hurricane Ernesto made its way across Puerto Rico resulting in more than 700,000 customers without power and 235,000 without water as a result of power outages. Puerto Rico's power grid is still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017 and NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration predicts an above-average Atlantic hurricane season this year due to record warm ocean temperatures. There is an urgent need for reliable, renewably-powered solutions that can make a difference in disaster response now. "It's frustrating that this many years later, we continue to see something like a storm cause such widespread outages in Puerto Rico, particularly given the risk that these outages cause for vulnerable households in Puerto Rico," said Charlotte Gossett Navarro, the Hispanic Federation's chief director for Puerto Rico.

According to a study from New York University's Institute for Public Knowledge, the areas with the highest concentration of FEMA disasters might surprise you. We generally look to hurricane or earthquake prone areas, but the FEMA hotspots are places like Kentucky, Vermont, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Iowa and Alaska, primarily from flooding. “What the data tell us is that the frequency and severity of disasters at local-state scales is increasing with rural, suburban, and urban places being affected nationwide,” Susan Cutter, co-director of the Hazards Vulnerability and Resilience Institute at the University of South Carolina. “More needs to be done to enhance resilience to reduce their impacts on people.” Read more here: https://bit.ly/46Hc5RK #cleanmobilepower #decarbonizingdisasterresponse #solarpower #greenhydrogen

Hurricane Debby is making its way across the Southeast this week, bringing heavy rainfall and flooding, strong winds, storm surges and possible tornadoes. According to NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's latest forecasts, the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season is expected to be active with an above-average number of storms. This calls for a heightened level of preparedness across all communities, especially for possible power outages. Read more about individual and government preparation tips, and how Sesame Solar Renewable Mobile Nanogrids can help make your community more resilient during hurricane season. https://lnkd.in/eqnpuD6q #cleanmobilepower #decarbonizingdisasterresponse #greenhydrogen #solarenergy

Lauren Flanagan, our visionary founder, was interviewed by NPR's Midwest Moxie! Discover how she transitioned from investor to entrepreneur and the innovations driving Sesame Solar forward. Lauren was motivated to start Sesame Solar during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and recognizing our reliance on fossil fuel generators following natural disasters. Fossil fuel generators exacerbate CO2 emissions, are prone to health risks from carbon-monoxide poisoning and dependent on fuel supplies, which are often compromised during storms. Lauren saw an opportunity to make a difference with the world's first Renewable Mobile Nanogrids to create more climate-resilient communities.
