Over 700 million people globally live without electricity.

Delivering reliable, productive and affordable energy to the most remote areas of the world is a tough job. Estimates say that at current rates, this number will not change by 2030.

‍Existing Solutions Aren’t Up To Scratch

People in off-grid communities are often forced to run diesel generators, which are expensive and dirty. Other electrification solutions that use clean energy exist, such as standalone home solar (SHS) and mini-grids. However, SHS is best suited for isolated households, while mini-grids generally suit dense or peri-urban communities with more than 1,000 households.
For low-density communities with less than 1,000 households, mesh-grids are more financially suitable. Communities of this type contain up to 80% of off-grid households in countries like Nigeria!

These are ideal for mesh-grids! Because of low-cost distribution, mesh-grids can be profitable even in communities with less than 1,000 households.

Harness the Power of Sharing

In a mesh-grid, nearby houses are connected together to share power, allowing them to consume more than on their own. Power travels short distances at 50V DC, while individual households can all access AC 230V power. The low voltage distribution and short cable distances reduces capex costs significantly compared to a traditional mini-grid.
