It is also hybrid in nature, supporting both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), and can co-generate with any renewable or existing energy sources. Apart from being mobile, portable and multifunctional, their system is also scalable and decentralized, with the ability to service a broad range of clients, from residential, commercial and industrial segments, to renewal of rural electrification.
“As an organization, SUNSMART ticks all the right boxes. Its unique product offers accessible energy to off-grid areas, while its distribution network helps upskill and develop livelihoods. Its commitment to bring power to the impoverished via environmentally sound technology is also laudable”, said Shanggari B, CEO MORS Group.
Incorporated in 2016, SunSmart has risen quickly to meet the challenge of electricity scarcity in the country’s rural and off-grid areas.
