- Pre-Paid Electricity top up function that links to your bank account.
- Remote Energy Monitoring through online Portal for both:
- PV SYSTEM OWNERS
- MUNICIPALITIES
- Safety features

The problem we're trying to solve
1000’s of homes in South Africa have installed rooftop solar, however, once your batteries are charged & your home’s load is supplied by the inverter – the potential energy available from the solar panels is going to waste, converting into heat, instead of being exported to the grid.
If we can innovate and implement a new means of Bi-Directional kWH metering we will solve 2 problems:
- Solar Users are compensated for their electricity, making returns on their investment quicker!
- Municipalities increase revenue through buying and selling this excess energy
- Our grid has more energy available, improving the state of the overall energy crisis
