Babcock Ranch, a solar-powered Florida community, survived Hurricane Ian with no power loss thanks to renewable energy and resilient infrastructure—proving smart design saves lives.

Sesame Solar has been announced as one of the five winners of the 2022 National Infrastructure Innovation Challenge. Sesame Solar won for its Mobile Disaster Response Office, powered by solar power, lithium ferro-phosphate batteries and green hydrogen.

Sesame Solar CEO and co-founder, Lauren Flanagan, has been selected for Business Insider's first annual Climate Action 30 list. ‍This list recognizes the top 30 global leaders for their efforts to solve the climate change crisis through innovative solutions, policies, research and more.‍ Lauren is being recognized for supercharging the shift away from diesel-fueled generators used during weather crises and bringing Sesame Solar’s Nanogrids to life which have helped communities around the world recover from and prepare for natural disasters using fast, reliable renewable energy.

Sesame Solar is recognized for creating the first-of-its-kind renewable energy solution for disaster response.

When disasters related to climate change, such as hurricanes or extreme floods hit and power goes off, fossil fuel-based nanogrids often act as temporary relief. In reality, they contribute to the climate crisis ultimately causing other disasters. Solutions as simple as nanogrids powered by renewable sources can help those affected while also helping our transition into a renewable future. 'Sesame Solar' is one such solution. The fully mobile nanogrid is powered by a combination of solar panels and green hydrogen. When needed, it can be easily transported to affected areas. The system comes ready to use and requires minimum training to set up. Its creators claim that the nanogrids, which can be operated by a single person, are able to withstand extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes and heavy floods.
