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.
Remote Monitoring
See what’s going on in granular detail: energy consumption, battery SoC, panel generation and more.
