Meet Sesame Solar:

Sesame Solar is producing what it deems the world’s first fully-renewable mobile nanogrid for natural disaster relief. While almost all standard responses to disasters use fossil fuel, Sesame Solar leverages solar energy and green hydrogen creating a 100% off-grid closed-loop energy system.

Depending on the model, their nanogrids can produce between 3 – 20 kW of solar power, with a total battery storage of 15 – 150 kWh. They are engineered to meet peak and average use and provide uninterrupted, sustainable power. Its units can be used as mobile communications and command centres, medical units, kitchens and even temporary housing.

  • More than 50 nanogrid units have been sold so far
  • The systems range anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000, or more for larger installations
  • Its customers already include the U.S. Air Force, as well as cable providers such as Cox and Comcast
  • Revenues have tripled in the last year and are set to do that again this year
  • Operated profitably since 2021, and continues to do so.

WHY JOIN US

  • Innovating and moving fast in a slow-moving industry with mostly diesel options, leading to plenty of inbound interest from cities, government agencies, and corporations.
  • The Press has been rolling in and will continue to. Leading to lots of inbound interest. See a few articles here, and here.
  • Sesame Solar has traction, attention, a great product, and a team that can execute. This is the perfect time to join for someone who has experience scaling, and enjoys being able to make a massive impact at an earlier stage without bureaucracy.
