Our Minigrids
Grid Quality Electricity
For customers this service feels just like central grid service – 220VAC connection, no “off hours”, no limitations on what appliances they can use.
Solar PV & Battery Technology
Powered primarily from solar energy, these mini-grids minimize the carbon footprint of energy access by optimizing engineering design of battery storage and a backup generator to ensure power flows even when the sun is down.
Fully Automated Operation
Automated plant operation and metering allows us to provide electricity at lower cost and anticipate maintenance needs to keep the lights on.
Mobile PAYG Payments
Customers buy what they need when they need it, all through a cell-phone interface available 24/7 – no need to visit a storefront to top up.
