- Solar trailers provide self-sustaining power at Bonnaroo
North Carolina’s mobile solar trailer, developed in partnership with the Department of Quality and the Footprint Project, provided self-sustaining power at the Bonnaroo music festival. The trailers, equipped with solar panels and batteries, were tested as temporary charging stations and later deployed to western North Carolina for community responders.
- Food bank to deploy solar-powered trailers for disaster relief
A North Carolina food bank damaged by Hurricane Helene is deploying solar-powered trailers to preserve food and provide emergency power. The trailers, designed by the nonprofit Footprint Project with a $5 million grant, serve as mobile electric hubs during disasters and are being stationed in rural areas.
