Western North Carolina Solar Microgrid Project

planned

A statewide microgrid project in western North Carolina targeting communities recovering from Hurricane Helene. It includes installation of solar panels and battery storage at community hubs such as fire departments, food banks, community centers, and libraries to provide energy resilience during blackouts and disasters. The project features both stationary microgrids and mobile solar power trailers called 'bees' that can be deployed to disaster-hit areas.
