Case Study

Enhancing energy access
in rural Africa

Overview

The IoT-enabled solar panel monitoring solution boosted efficiency by quickly addressing underperforming panels, leading to increased energy production. Predictive analytics enabled proactive maintenance, reducing downtime, while remote monitoring optimized resource allocation by minimizing physical inspections.

We helped provide
consistent energy access
for underserved
communities in rural Africa.

Outcome

  • Wireless Sensors: IoT sensors were installed on each solar panel to monitor factors like temperature, voltage, and current in real time.
  • Data Transmission: The sensor data was transmitted wirelessly to a central cloud-based platform, allowing for remote monitoring and analysis.
  • Predictive Analytics: Machine learning algorithms analyzed the collected data to predict maintenance needs and detect performance anomalies.
  • Alert System: The system was programmed to send automated alerts to maintenance teams when a panel’s efficiency dropped below a certain threshold or when a potential issue was detected.
