Microgrid Installation Anticipated to Reduce Fuel Costs by up to 70%

Polar Power, Inc. announces that its DC generator, solar PV inverters, batteries, and controls were seamlessly integrated and installed at a United Nations High Command for Refugees (“UNHCR”) facility in Nigeria. Assisting Polar Power on this project were Leonics Ltd. (supplying inverters and lithium batteries), Biohenry Ltd. (providing installation and maintenance services), and the Greening and Sustainability Team at UNHCR.

Polar Power’s unique “microgrid” power system for grid connected application ensures
continuous power for critical operations during blackouts and can also reduce the utility costwhen installed with the solar option. During frequent and long duration outages, this
microgrid can provide businesses with the necessary continuity by providing continuous
power to refrigeration, computers, lighting, water pumping, and communications equipment.

Arthur Sams, Polar Power’s CEO, commented, “Polar Power has delivered one of the best
solutions at around half the cost of other bidders proposing lesser systems. Besides the
huge fuel savings from up to a 70% reduction in diesel, another advantage of Polar Power’s
online uninterruptable power supply (UPS) with the DC generator and solar PV array is the complete shielding of application loads from the grid’s power fluctuations and interruptions.

Lastly, the solar PV array is designed to operate efficiently with a small footprint, providing additional installation and operating benefits, especially in remote areas. These advantages from our microgrid solution collectively present huge operating cost savings and reliability improvement.”

While the UNHCR facility in Nigeria will continue to benefit from this innovative power
solution that simultaneously significantly reduces generator maintenance, fuel cost, and the utility bill, Polar Power looks forward to future collaborations and projects that can provide sustainable and reliable energy to regions that need it most. This microgrid technology platform is designed to solve many of the power generation problems that other worldwide organizations, including FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency in the U.S., may encounter during storms and disasters by providing fuel resupply, generator maintenance, and remote equipment monitoring.
