Off-grid Solutions
Off-grid solutions are in high demand across Africa, where customers face either remote locations with no grid access or unreliable grid supply affected by frequent load-shedding and outages. These solutions enable full energy independence and control over costs. Off-grid systems comprise solar panels, batteries, and backup generators, working together to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Our team leverages advanced software and smart controllers to optimise these microgrid solutions, intelligently managing energy storage and generator operation to maximise efficiency and minimise fuel consumption.
Batteries to Scale Solar
Batteries can be used to expand the size of a solar system where customers have ample space available for solar. This helps store the valuable energy generated but not utilized, which can be used later to offset high-cost energy periods.
Demand Cost Reduction and Energy Arbitrage
In many African countries, peak demand charges and time-of-use tariffs can substantially increase electricity costs, while grid instability and load-shedding create additional operational challenges. Batteries can be strategically deployed to store energy generated during low-cost periods or from solar systems, then release it during peak tariff periods or when grid supply is unavailable. This approach reduces energy costs while providing reliable power independence from grid disruptions and load-shedding events.
