Solar Mini‑Grid Rollout
Delivering clean, reliable power to remote communities.
1. Project Overview
Many off‑grid villages rely on expensive diesel generators or have no electricity at all. Our Solar Mini‑Grid Rollout deploys modular photovoltaic arrays paired with battery storage and intelligent controllers to provide continuous, affordable power for lighting, refrigeration, and essential appliances.
2. Key Challenges
High Capital Costs: Up‑front investment in panels, batteries, and inverters can be prohibitive.
Logistical Barriers: Transporting heavy equipment to remote or poorly‑serviced locations.
Tariff Design: Balancing affordability for low‑income households with project sustainability.
Technical Support: Limited local capacity for operation and maintenance.
Regulatory Hurdles: Obtaining permits, land‑use agreements, and interconnection approvals.
