Powering Communities with Renewable Energy When Disaster Strikes
In 2021, the U.S. spent $145 Billion on weather disasters. Natural disasters are occurring 3x more often than 50 years ago and 2022 will be another record year for multi-billion-dollar weather disasters in the U.S.

Minimal Maintenance Needed
As easy as washing the windows, your Sesame Solar Nanogrid needs clean PV panels to capture all that sunlight. Easy to use, minimal training required. Augmented Reality training and field service support are embedded into our Nanogrids.
Longevity and Mobility
Our Nanogrids can be used and repurposed for up to 20 years. Nanogrids can be shipped in 7-45 days from order, depending on customization requests for the Solutions Inside. They are easily transported by truck, train, ship, plane, or helicopter to get renewable, off-grid power and emergency resources to the people who need them most. Nanogrids can also be clustered to form minigrids.

Post-Hurricane Maria Medical Office in Dominica
Sesame Solar donated the first Mobile, Solar Nanogrid Medical Office to the Ministry of Public Health in Dominica after Hurricane Maria destroyed the island.
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%.
