The Okra Pod
Putting every ray of sunlight to good use.
The Pod is the brainy building block of every Okra smart grid. It allows households to interconnect so that they can share energy to where it’s needed when it’s needed. This ensures each and every family has uninterrupted power for their essential needs – lighting, fans, mobile phone charging and TVs.
Power distribution is automatically balanced which means families can also use freezers, cooking equipment, washing machines and water pumps, without fear of blackout.
Okra Harvest
Enabling remote operation of data-driven smart grids.
Manage
Track inventory, plan installs, assign assets, and generate custom reports for all projects – big and small.
Mobile Payments
Keep tight control of billing statuses, update energy packages remotely and check balances for all customers.
Remote Monitoring
See what’s going on in granular detail: energy consumption, battery SoC, panel generation and more.
Alerts & Insights
Action maintenance tasks efficiently based on real-time alerts and insights delivered via machine learning.
