THE RESILIENT POWER PROJECT

  • Increase public/private investment in clean, resilient power systems

(solar+storage)

  • Protect low-income and vulnerable communities, with a focus on affordable

housing and critical public facilities

  • Engage city, state and federal policy makers to develop supportive policies and

programs

  • Visit www.resilient-power.org for more information and resources

EMERGENCY RESPONSE Grid is Down Mobilize every available solar generator asset we know of in the region, help responders plug in. EARLY RECOVERY Grid is Returning Decommission damaged solar installations to recover functional solar panels, keeping them out

  • f land-fills.

LONG-TERM RESILIENCE Grid is Back Build turn-key solar generators with second life equipment, and train locals

  • n deployment!

Turn every disaster into an opportunity for sustainable development.

…Creighton has had no issues to report. They've been running of just one of the two exterior outlets. State of Charge has remained steady at 100% today, i.e., it's charging up faster than the devices are drawing down. They repositioned the trailer for better sun exposure and may

  • again. Second sheet of panels has not

been extended.”

Kincade Fire Response Situation Report from Volunteer Bay Area Oct 29, 2019 Trailer deployed to Donaldson Way Elementary School Gymnasium American Canyon CA Community Point of Contact: Creighton Wright, Director of Parks and Recreation

Testimonial

“The trailer has served "easily 100 people so far today” estimates Creighton, though no close count exists. Most people come in to charge multiple devices at once. When I was there last night delivering the trailer and briefing Creighton, it was smoky enough to sting your throat, though not enough to make you cough…

Challenges associated with initial org model:

  • Clean energy equipment needs to be on standby before storms.
  • Disaster grants and donations can be “lumpy” and difficult to time.
  • Only one group benefits at a time under the “build and donate”

model.

  • Fundraising for equipment can be extremely time consuming,

taking away from core mission.

Exploring a social impact partnership

slide-39
SLIDE 39
  • Rent.Solar provides mobile solar energy as a service for

temporary events.

  • When solar trailers and solar shelters aren’t powering disaster

relief operations, they are made available for festivals, film shoots, construction sites or corporate events.

  • By using Rent.Solar you support Footprint Project’s mission to

#BuildBackGreener after climate disasters.

  • Our short-term rental option greatly increases accessibility and

affordability of this equipment.

  • NGO relief partners have the option to deploy these as-needed,

using the pay-as-you-go model.

  • Community partners rent the equipment the rest of the year to

spread the cost amongst multiple users.

  • Rent-to-own program currently under development.

Vieques Esperanza Microgrid

  • 400 residential clients
  • 12 a 16 businesses
  • 1 a 3 schools
  • one of the last sectors connected after Maria to the grid.
  • Utilize roof space to help pay for solar systems for underprivileged families and

families with medical need that otherwise could not afford the systems. Accomplish this by selling the extra power to the nearby businesses that don't possess enough roof space to power their needs.

Engineers

  • Laws allow for off grid installers behind the meter
