Technology: Next generation solar technologies and business models

Stage: Mid 

Stage: 9

Future Earth’s Remote Energy Management and Monitoring Technology (REMOT) – digital systems for automatic payment management, real-time performance monitoring, and pre-emptive troubleshooting, can ensure quick and effective system maintenance and system reliability, and provide the data evidence base for solar distributors and development finance institutions to really accelerate the uptake of productive use solar systems.

Matching our hardware innovation, our vision under this IUK competition is to develop:
1. New innovative software capability for primary (solar distribution companies) and secondary (international development finance institutions and insurance company) clients
2. Transformational software-as-a service subscription model to make REMOT even more affordable and accessible
3. Trial the software with existing and new clients to provide the evidence base for a Series A investment raise of $1 million.

Importantly, through the total project we will impact an estimated 74,769 persons and enable 452,600 kWh solar energy generated per year.
