Scaling mobile microgrids to deliver clean, resilient power for homes and communities.

• Disaster-ready solution: Provides instant mobile power when the grid fails.
• Everyday utility: Cuts electric bills and supports the grid even outside of emergencies.
• Revenue-sharing model: Investors receive a percentage of gross revenue until 3x return.
• Domestic production: Built in the U.S. with partnerships focused on rural job creation.
• App integration: PET Locator App enables rental, deployment, and community-powered energy sharing.

Ovanova is raising funds to scale production of its Portable Energy Trailer (PET), a mobile microgrid designed to provide clean, reliable power during grid outages and reduce energy costs during normal operation. Built to serve both emergency and everyday needs, each PET connects directly to a home or building’s electrical system, storing solar energy, cutting peak electricity usage, and selling excess power back to the grid. The funds from this raise will be used to increase PET manufacturing capacity, finalize the PET Locator App, and expand Ovanova’s national customer network. These investments are aimed at building local energy resilience while generating income for PET owners.

Currently in the MVP stage with a functional, sellable unit, Ovanova plans to transition to a final production model called Flame after the first 30 units. The company has already deployed microgrids in 27 states and facilitated over $150 million in clean energy grant applications. As demand for distributed, disaster-ready energy solutions grows, Ovanova’s PET offers a practical alternative to centralized grid dependency. With a U.S.-based supply chain and community-centered deployment strategy, Ovanova is creating infrastructure that empowers individuals and institutions to respond to outages, support their communities, and participate in the clean energy transition.

Company Info

Ovanova builds mobile microgrids called PETs to deliver off-grid power for homes, businesses, and communities during outages and emergencies.

Ovanova is a clean tech company based in Cedar Grove, North Carolina, that manufactures the Portable Energy Trailer (PET)—a mobile microgrid system providing off-grid, disaster-ready power. The PET is designed for both emergency response and everyday use, connecting directly to homes or buildings to supply backup energy, reduce electric bills, and sell excess power to the grid. Equipped with solar panels, battery storage, and bidirectional integration capabilities, the PET is a compact, mission-ready solution that enables energy resilience and community support, especially in underserved or rural areas.

Ovanova is currently in its MVP stage with sellable units in the field and plans to scale to the production-ready Flame model. The company aims to deploy PETs across the U.S., creating a decentralized, mobile energy network. Funds raised will be used to ramp up manufacturing, finalize a mobile app for power sharing and deployment, and grow a national network of technicians and local assembly hubs. The investment model offers a revenue-sharing return, paying investors 5% of gross revenue until they earn back 3x their contribution. Ovanova’s long-term mission is to democratize access to reliable energy while building localized infrastructure for energy independence and climate resilience.
