Access the “Mini Grid on Wheels" Lab

Hosted by Energy IoT Open Source at Port Labs!

Step inside the future of community-powered energy! Join us for a two-hour guided tour and workshop using the first Open Source Energy Lab, launched during SF Climate Week at the Open Source Energy Hackathon.

This hands-on lab is a working showcase of cutting-edge, decentralized energy technology designed for resilience, equity, and open collaboration. During the tour, you’ll get a close-up look at key technologies enabling widespread adoption:

  • Sol-Ark: Hybrid inverter built for flexible integration

  • Discover Energy Systems: Lithium battery storage for reliable energy access

  • Ampra Grid’s MECHA: Portable storage rack for rapid deployment

  • Gismo Power’s MEGA: Solar carport on wheels for mobile generation

  • NESL.energy & IEEE Smart Village: Smart metering and leakage detection via Street Pole EMS

  • MeshEMS by EnergyIoT: How to manage your local microgrid and integrate with larger ecosystems, for example, joining a Demand Response program via OpenADR.

This workshop also marks the first step in becoming part of our movement. Whether you're interested in volunteering, mentoring, receiving mentorship, partnering with us, or becoming a customer—this is where it all begins.
