The smart way to manage
a smart grid
Our web platform enables you to manage mobile payments, remotely turn houses ON and OFF, and receive notifications if there is unusual behaviour like panel shading or controller bypassing. It also enables you to keep a close eye on PV generation, load consumption and battery charge at all nodes in an Okra network. With this data, you can easily scale networks with growing energy demands.
How Okra Works
Our smart software distributes excess solar power through the network to neighbouring households that need extra juice. This ensures no sunlight is wasted, making energy more affordable and readily available.
Our modular architecture allows any household to connect to a pre-existing Okra grid, at any time. Whether it’s 10 or 100 new households wanting to join – just plug and play! A minimum of 2 households is required to start a new cluster.
