NC Microgrid Support Survey

Apply for microgrid support to strengthen long‑term recovery and resilience in disaster‑affected North Carolina. This short Intake Survey helps us assess your site for potential solar + battery systems, mobile power trailers, portable battery libraries, and technical assistance/training. Submissions inform funding and in‑kind equipment decisions; support is not guaranteed.

  • First/second responders, critical infrastructure, mutual aid hubs, and essential service providers in NC disaster‑affected areas.

  • Consideration for in‑kind equipment (solar, batteries), the sub‑5 kW Free Store, training, and staging‑site opportunities.tion text goes here

    • Land of Sky Regional Council

    • North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association

    • Footprint Project

Take the Survey

FOR RESPONDERS

Cut diesel, cut carbon, cut costs. Power your next field operation with mobile solar energy.

FOR COMMUNITIES

Build resilience through mobile solar access and education. Assemble a fleet in your area.

FOR INDUSTRY

Repurpose commercial solar equipment for a cause. Open up warehouse space and reduce solar waste.

Climate change drives emergency humanitarian need.
But relief and recovery is carbon intensive.

IT’S TIME TO GREEN THE DISASTER RESPONSE INDUSTRY

IMPACT

We’ve deployed 250+ kW of mobile solar

and 700+ kWh of mobile battery storage

to 22+ disaster response and recovery missions,

providing emergency clean power access to 50,000+ people.
