The problem with combustion

Generators are a liability.

Heavy, loud, toxic, and tethered to a dangerous, expensive fuel supply chain. In mission-critical moments, a fuel shortage or mechanical failure can be the difference between success and failure.

The old way

  • Tethered to fuel lines and the next diesel delivery
  • Shouting over engine noise on set, at the command post, on watch
  • Breathing exhaust and keeping generators outside and away from people
  • Being the mechanic when it won't start

Move from managing your power to mastering your mission.

Engineered in the mud, not just the lab

Built by people who've been there.

The DNA of New Use Energy is disaster relief and crisis response. With partners like the Footprint Project, our systems have been tested after hurricanes and on the ground in Ukraine.

We know what it takes for gear to work in heat, rain and mud with no technician standing by. So we build for ruggedized simplicity: tough enough for the mission, simple enough for anyone to run when the pressure is on.

Answers

Why NUE, explained.

Why choose a solar-plus-battery system over a gas generator?
A solar-plus-battery system runs silently with no fuel and no exhaust, so it can operate indoors, in vehicles and near people. It removes the cost and risk of a fuel supply chain and recharges from the sun, a vehicle or the grid. New Use Energy systems deploy in under 10 minutes.
Are NUE power systems really silent?
Yes. SunCase™ power stations and NUE battery systems have no engine, so they operate without engine noise and with a low thermal signature. That's why film crews use them on set and military units use them where noise and heat give away a position.
Can NUE systems charge without sun?
Yes. Every SunCase™ recharges from solar panels, a wall outlet or generator, or a vehicle battery, so you have power in any weather.
Where has NUE equipment been used?
NUE equipment has logged more than 10 million combat hours across 45+ military deployments and is in the field in 36+ countries. It has supported hurricane relief with the Footprint Project, field medicine and ambulances in Ukraine, and multi-agency disaster-response exercises.
Who is New Use Energy?
New Use Energy is a veteran-led U.S. company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. It designs rugged portable power stations, solar, batteries and mobile microgrids for military, emergency response, government and professional production teams. Its tagline is We Serve Power™.
Is solar reliable enough for mission-critical power?
Yes, when paired with enough battery storage. NUE sizes lithium storage to carry loads through nights and bad weather, uses solar to refill it, and keeps wall, vehicle and generator charging as backups. Use the power planning tool to size a system for your mission.

Focus on the mission.
