Disaster Relief Portable Power

The First 72 Hours Are a Power Problem

Every disaster is different. Every disaster response is the same: the grid is down, fuel is scarce or unreachable, roads are cut,
and the clock is running. Wildfire in Lahaina. A Category 5 in the Caribbean. A 500-year flood in Appalachia. An earthquake that drops a city’s transmission network in ninety seconds. In each case, the constraint is not willpower, funding, or volunteers. It is watts
where they come from, how fast they arrive, and whether they keep coming on day fourteen when the diesel convoy still
hasn’t made it up the mountain.


New Use Energy exists for that gap. Our SunCase™ ruggedized solar-plus-battery generators and SunWing™ mobile solar
trailers have been deployed in wildfire recovery, Category 5 hurricane response, catastrophic inland flooding, and post earthquake operations. They are the same units we field with over 30 brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces across 200+
deployments — because a disaster zone and a contested environment ask a power system the same brutal questions.

What is the best emergency power for hurricane, wildfire, and earthquake preparedness?

The best emergency preparedness power is the power you already own, already tested, and can deploy without a supply chain. That rules out anything requiring stored fuel, which degrades, evaporates, becomes a fire hazard, and is unobtainable in the 72 hours after an event when every station in the region has a line or no power to run its pumps.NUE’s preparedness posture is straightforward: pre-position SunCase™ units at the sites that will matter — EOCs, fire stations, shelters, clinics, water utilities, comms nodes — and keep them topped and tested. A lithium iron phosphate SunCase™ holds charge in storage for months, tolerates the temperature swings of an unconditioned equipment cage,survives the drop, dust, and moisture exposure of real-world staging, and turns on at the push of a button. There is no start cord, no choke, no stale fuel, no fumes.

What portable power do NGOs and humanitarian organizations use in disaster response?

NGOs and humanitarian organizations increasingly deploy solar-plus-battery systems over fuel generators, for reasons that are operational before they are environmental. A generator requires a fuel budget, a fuel custodian, secure storage, theft mitigation, and a resupply plan — five ongoing logistics burdens in an environment where staff bandwidth is the scarcest
resource on the ground.



New Use Energy works directly with NGOs, VOADs, faith-based response organizations, and international relief agencies, offering humanitarian pricing, rapid quoting, and pre-positioned inventory from our Phoenix and Anacortes warehouses. Our units have supported medical refrigeration, satellite communications, water quality testing, shelter lighting, and community charging stations across wildfire, hurricane, flood, and earthquake responses.


The practical NGO advantage is that a SunCase™ has no recurring cost. Once it is on the ground, it produces power for the
life of the deployment and every deployment after it. A generator’s true cost is a line item that never stops.

Can portable solar power run medical equipment during a disaster?

Yes — and it is one of the highest-value applications in the field. Vaccine and insulin refrigeration, oxygen concentrators,
nebulizers, portable ultrasound, patient monitors, diagnostic laptops, and field lighting all fall well within the SunCase™
envelope, and NUE units have been used with military Role 3 surgical teams and mobile medical teams under conditions
considerably harsher than a domestic disaster zone.


The critical differentiator is clean, stable power. Sensitive medical electronics are damaged by the dirty sine wave many
inexpensive generators produce. NUE systems deliver pure sine wave AC through advanced battery management that
protects against overcharge, short circuit, and thermal runaway. And because there is no exhaust, the unit sits inside the
treatment space rather than fifty feet outside on an extension cord in the rain.

Where can I find portable power generators designed for military vehicles?

The best portable power solutions for military field operations are far more than just standalone generators; they are integrated systems designed to work seamlessly with vehicles to create a resilient and mobile force. The unique demands of the battlefield—including a need for silence, light weight, and a fuel-free power source—make traditional options a liability. An effective solution must be able to not only provide power but also enhance the unit’s overall mobility and operational effectiveness.


New Use Energy specializes in creating ruggedized, solar-plus-battery generators that are purpose-built for military vehicles. Unlike loud, heavy, and bulky generators, these systems can be charged directly from a vehicle’s alternator while in transit. This capability ensures a continuous power supply that is completely independent of the grid, allowing units to operate without the risk and logistical burden of a vulnerable fuel supply chain.

How do you power a shelter or evacuation center when the grid is down?

A shelter is a power problem with a deadline. It needs lighting, HVAC assistance, device charging for hundreds of displaced
people, WiFi or Starlink connectivity, medical support, and refrigeration — and it needs all of it before dark on day one. For shelter-scale operations, the answer is a SunWing™ solar trailer as the anchor microgrid, backed by SunCase™ 3651
and 2425 units distributed to the specific loads that cannot fail. The trailer tows behind a standard pickup, deploys without
tools, and generates continuously in daylight while the battery bank carries the night. Distributed SunCase™ units mean no
single point of failure: if the trailer needs to relocate, the clinic and the comms desk stay lit.



Community charging stations — a bank of SunCase™ units with a folding table of cables — have become one of the most
requested capabilities in modern response, because a charged phone is how a displaced family finds each other, files a claim, and gets information.

How long can a portable solar generator run during an extended power outage?

Indefinitely — that is the entire point of the architecture. A battery alone has a finite runtime; when it’s empty, it’s a box. A generator runs until the fuel runs out, which in a disaster means until the convoy arrives, which may be never. A SunCase™ paired with NUESolar™ panels is a closed loop: the
panels replenish the battery during daylight, the battery carries the load through the night, and the cycle repeats for as long
as the sun rises. Add vehicle alternator charging and grid charging as the infrastructure recovers, and you have a multi-source system that has no single dependency to sever.



In practice, this is what separates a two-day capability from a two-month one. Disaster response is a long tail. The cameras
leave after week one. The power problem stays for a year.

Emergency Management — Preparedness

State and county EM agencies, EOCs, fire districts, public health departments, tribal emergency management, school districts, water utilities

Emergency Management — Preparedness

Preparedness is measured in what’s already staged, not what’s on order. Emergency managers live with a specific anxiety: the generator in the EOC basement that gets tested quarterly and has never been asked to carry a real 96-hour load, and the fuel contract that assumes the tanker can reach you.


NUE units change the preparedness math because they have no standby cost and no standby failure mode. A SunCase™ sits in a staging cage for eighteen months, holds its charge, and works. There is no fuel to rotate, no carburetor to gum, no oil to change, no annual load bank test. When the activation order comes, someone picks it up and walks out the door.


Preparedness applications: - EOC continuity power for comms, dispatch, and incident management systems - Pre-staged shelter kits — lighting, charging banks, medical support, deployable in under ten minutes - Mobile command and forward staging area power - Water utility SCADA, sensor, and communications backup - Cooling and warming center power packages - Public safety comms repeater and relay support - Exercise and full-scale drill power.

Disaster Relief — NGOs

International and domestic NGOs, VOAD member organizations, faith-based response teams, medical relief organizations, mutual aid networks, foundation-funded response programs.

Disaster Relief — NGOs

NGOs operate under three constraints that generators violate every time: restricted budgets, impossible logistics, and donor accountability. A generator is a recurring cost disguised as a capital purchase. Every hour it runs, it burns fuel that someone bought, transported, guarded, and accounted for. In an international response, that fuel may be the single hardest item to source and the single most likely to be diverted. In a domestic response, it means a staff member spends their day at a gas station instead of with survivors.


A SunCase™ is bought once and produces power forever. It arrives on the first pallet — no hazmat declaration, no fuel manifest, no customs friction over a jerry can. It runs silently inside a clinic. And it presents beautifully to donors: a photograph of a solar panel powering a vaccine fridge in a village with no grid is worth more than any line item on a spend report.


NGO applications: - Medical mission and field clinic power — refrigeration, diagnostics, lighting - Satellite comms (Starlink, BGAN) for coordination and situational reporting - Water quality testing and purification system support - Community charging stations at distribution sites - Shelter and temporary housing lighting - Assessment team field power — laptops, tablets, drones, cameras - Long-term program power where the grid was never coming in the first place.

Resurgence — Prepare

Communities rebuilding after an event, resilience planners, community resilience hubs, rural cooperatives, remote and islanded communities, critical infrastructure hardening programs.

Resurgence — Prepare

There is a phase between “the disaster is over” and “the community is whole” that nobody plans for, because it doesn’t have a news cycle. It is the eighteen months after the fire, the two years after the storm. The population is back. The grid is fragile, half-rebuilt, and going down again every time it rains. The next season is already coming.


Resurgence is preparedness with scar tissue. It is a community that now knows exactly what a grid failure costs and is not willing to be surprised twice. NUE’s role in resurgence is distributed resilience: putting power at the community level rather than betting everything on a single utility feed. Resilience hubs — a church, a school, a community center — equipped with SunCase™ and SunWing™ systems become the place the neighborhood goes when the lights go out again. Not in six months when the FEMA trailer arrives. That night.


Resurgence applications: - Community resilience hub power packages - Rebuilt critical facility backup — clinics, schools, fire stations, water plants - Rural and remote community microgrids where grid hardening isn’t economically viable - Islanded and archipelago communities facing recurring storm exposure - Small business continuity power for the businesses that anchor a recovering economy - Household-level resilience for medically dependent residents - Wildland-urban interface communities facing annual PSPS shutoffs


The communities that recover fastest are the ones that stopped waiting for the grid to save them.

Recovery Phase

Long-term recovery groups, rebuilding contractors, damage assessment teams, case management operations, debris and restoration crews, insurance and FEMA field operations

Recovery Phase

The recovery phase is where portable power quietly earns its keep — and where most organizations discover their generator plan was a response plan, not a recovery plan. Recovery runs for months in places with no restored service: a gutted structure being rebuilt, a temporary case management office in a parking lot, a damage assessment team working a rural grid that won’t be re-energized until next quarter. The loads are modest but constant: laptops, printers, tablets, phones, lighting, power tools, WiFi, cameras. The environment is dusty, wet, hot, and hard on equipment. And it goes on so long that fuel costs compound into real money.


A SunCase™ solves recovery-phase power the way nothing else does: it doesn’t need anything from anybody. No fuel run. No noise complaint from the neighborhood that has finally gotten some of its quiet back. No exhaust in an enclosed structure where crews are working. No theft target sitting outside overnight.


Recovery applications: - Rebuilding site power — cordless tool charging, lighting, temporary WiFi - Long-term recovery group field offices and case management sites - Damage assessment teams — tablets, drones, cameras, connectivity - Temporary housing and interim shelter power - Debris management and restoration crew support - Documentation and survey drone operations - Distribution and POD site power over multi-month operations.
