Solar Generator Trailer

The Solar Generator Trailer (SGT) is an important resource for the City of Palo Alto to provide electric power to the Mobile Emergency Operations Center (MEOC) and other critical systems both for planned deployments as well as during emergencies. This SGT was acquired in 2021 through a State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) award to the Office of Emergency Services of $200,000.
