Energy Where It's Needed Most
Open-source, off-grid solar system blueprints for disaster relief and people facing housing transitions.
Provide Open-Source Solutions
Affordable, Sustainable Power
Enable access to resilient, cost-effective energy + storage solutions that deliver independence and peace of mind.
Disaster Relief & Housing
Support temporary and transitional housing needs, from disaster relief and veteran housing to modular homes and ADUs, with proven off-grid energy systems.
Integration with Providers
Collaborate with housing providers to create accessible, open-source energy blueprints that work with their existing solutions.
Skills & Opportunity
Create pathways for people rebuilding their lives to enter stable, meaningful work in renewable energy.
Addressing Critical Gaps in Emergency Response
When emergencies disrupt housing and electricity access, people deserve immediate, sustainable solutions. Current systems often fall short.
Power & Housing Failures
Disasters can leave people without reliable electricity or shelter, creating urgent humanitarian crises.
Affordable Housing Shortages
Housing costs continue to rise. Veterans and families on fixed incomes often face the greatest barriers to accessing stable, sustainable housing.
Training Access Gaps
People rebuilding after major life disruptions, like veterans, returning workers, or underrepresented communities, may lack access to technical training needed to move forward.
Costly, Temporary Workarounds
Existing methods are often expensive, for-profit, temporary, and fossil-fuel dependent.
Rapid Deployment Needs
Emergency responses often require pre-approved, immediately deployable solutions that need to meet regulatory requirements.
Implementation Without Guidance
Renewable energy systems exist, but the organizations and people ready to deploy them, lack standardized blueprints and implementation guides.
Integrated Energy & Housing Systems
Modular, scalable, and deployable systems designed for real-world humanitarian applications.
Portable, Modular PV + BESS
Portable, modular PV + Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with low voltage lighting and power options.
- Rapid deployment in disaster zones
- Prototype + install systems adapted to providers' products
- Powers lighting, sanitation, water pumping, and essential services
Prototyping & Innovation
Establish a dedicated workshop to prototype and test solutions.
- Validate designs before deployment in real-world situations
- Collaborate with partners and providers to refine integration
- Showcase proof-of-concept models to funders and stakeholders
Rapid Deployment Ready
Pre-engineered, validated systems ready for immediate deployment.
