This one-hour webinar, co-sponsored by the Clean Energy Group, features a discussion of how resilient backup power technologies could benefit medically vulnerable households, and how battery storage and solar technologies can mitigate risks when power outages due to storms, fires, or other disasters impact the home medical devices that the medically vulnerable need to survive. A speaker also presents a case study from Puerto Rico post-Hurricane Maria of PV-battery storage systems for powering critical loads during emergencies. (Video or Multimedia)
