A modular and self-sufficient solar home system for areas that are not connected to the grid.
Some countries in sub-Saharan Africa don’t have easy access to electricity and basic phone services at this time. So, Qotto made a modular and self-sufficient Solar Home System that works with cheap Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication to give people in off-grid areas better access to energy. This stand-alone solution is made up of a few simple parts, such as a solar panel, charge controller, smart card, batteries, and appliances. These parts will give the customer quick and easy access to electricity in their own home. Qotto sells, leases, and takes care of the system, while the client signs up and pays (through mobile money services) as they go. In addition, the system allows for a lot of flexibility and customization because each product can be changed to fit the needs of the consumer. Over time, more solar panels can be added to meet the growing need for energy. This solution is meant to make people’s lives better in developing countries. Some of the most important uses are lighting, TV, radio, charging mobile phones, and cooling devices in remote areas.
