Sesame Solar Nanogrids: Empowering Military Missions With Sustainable Technology
For military personnel operating in austere environments, power sustainment and energy independence are critical. Through a strategic partnership with SupplyCore, Sesame Solar Nanogrids offer the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) a revolutionary energy solution tailored to meet the demands of modern military operations.
Whether you’re powering an off-grid mission, securing a perimeter, or powering field medical units, Sesame Solar’s innovative technology delivers clean, resilient, and cost-effective energy.
The Energy Challenge in Remote Military Operations
Military missions in remote and demanding environments heavily rely on traditional fuel-based generators. While reliable, these generators come with significant drawbacks.
- Logistical Limitations: Transporting fuel to remote areas is an arduous task, requiring extensive planning, resources, and manpower. This logistical burden increases operational costs and poses security risks, as fuel convoys become vulnerable to attacks.
- Environmental Impact: Fuel-based generators contribute to carbon emissions, diminishing the sustainability of missions.
- Maintenance and Downtime: Fuel generators often require maintenance, leading to potential downtime that can disrupt mission-critical operations.
The Results
Sesame Solar Nanogrids: A Clean, Reliable Solution
Powered by a trio of technologies—solar panels, green hydrogen, and energy-dense battery storage—Sesame Solar Nanogrids deliver energy that is clean, renewable, and operational under extreme conditions.
With zero fuel requirements and operational readiness within just 15 minutes, these Nanogrids are redefining what it means to sustain military missions off-grid.
- Transportable and Scalable: Designed for military mobility, Sesame Solar Nanogrids are compact and easy to transport. Their modular design allows them to be daisy-chained for greater energy capacity or integrated with existing grids as backup solutions.
- Fast Deployment: Unlike conventional power solutions that often require hours or days to become operational, Sesame Nanogrids can be set up by a single person in less than 15 minutes. This speed ensures critical power availability anytime it’s needed.
- Remote Monitoring Capabilities: Equipped with advanced software, these systems allow for remote monitoring and management, providing real-time data on performance and usage. This feature ensures efficiency and minimizes manual oversight.
Versatile Applications for Military Needs
Sesame Solar Nanogrids are designed to support a wide range of applications tailored to military missions. Below are some pre-configured solutions providing unparalleled versatility for off-grid operations.
Clean Water Nanogrid
Provide safe, drinkable water in remote or disaster-stricken areas. Powered by renewable energy, it integrates filtration and purification systems to convert various water sources into clean, reliable water for military or humanitarian operations.
Medical Nanogrids
Deliver essential power to mobile clinical care units. Sesame Nanogrids power medical equipment and resources, ensuring uninterrupted operations in field hospitals.
Command and Communications Nanogrids
Enhance military communications in austere environments. These Nanogrids provide energy sustainment for secure communication centers critical for mission planning and execution.
Perimeter Security Nanogrids
Improve site security with unmanned surveillance installations. The Sesame Perimeter Security Nanogrid recently proved its merit during deployment at the White Sands Missile Range.
Real-World Deployments Demonstrate Impact
The SupplyCore and Sesame Solar partnership is already in action at White Sands Missile Base, where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deployed an Unmanned Perimeter Security Nanogrid to power surveillance systems in harsh desert conditions. This deployment marked the world’s first renewable energy security nanogrid, combining solar, green hydrogen, atmospheric water generation, and battery storage technologies.
