Why Smart Grids?
Okra’s modular DC smart-grids enable households to receive 24/7 electricity for half of the operating costs of traditional AC minigrids. Our modular node-to-node distribution architecture and IoT to remotely control and monitor, enables unparalleled reliability for end-users and grid operators.
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.

Pipeline
Billions of dollars stand to be saved while achieving rapid electrification of the last mile.
Extending the grid to the last mile becomes exponentially more expensive as last mile communities are in some of the hardest to reach areas. Explore some of Okra’s target locations where microgrids make for profitable high impact solutions and let us know where you’d like to start building.

Check it out, our Japanese friends! 🇯🇵
Recently we had a great day going to the field with Shizuka Yasunari as we checked in on Ta Sous village on the border of Vietnam - they have rapidly gone from travelling 15 kms per day to charge a mobile phone, all the way to using water pumping and using solar energy to grow crickets! 🇰🇭 ⚡

Great to catch up with #ausembassy and Pablo Kang the Australian Ambassador to Cambodia. He's on a mission to support economic development and boost bilateral trade with the Kingdom. We're excited about that and we're also excited to get him out to Svay Rieng so he can show us how good he is at cricket. 🦗 Not 🏏. #thatsgold 🇰🇭🇦🇺
