​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.
