Hardware and Software

MicroPowerManager (MPM)

This is an open source software solution for mini-grid customer and asset management, originally developed by INENSUS and first launched in 2020. This software provides a robust set of features, including a customer relation management (CRM) tool, a comprehensive ticketing system and maintenance, etc

OpenPAYGO Pass

Introducing OpenPAYGO™ Pass: Enhanced Paygo Activation in Areas without Mobile Money, the latest open-source innovation created by SolarisLab in conjunction with EnAccess

Open Smart Meter

The Open Source GSM Smart meter enables adoption of affordable solar energy solutions in Nigeria through energy as a service business model.

Battery Management System

A battery management system (BMS) is the core electronic circuit of every modern Li-ion based energy storage system. It enables energy access companies to develop customised solutions including second life applications of used electric vehicle batteries, suitable for productive use appliances, mini grids, etc.

AirLink uses financed phones as relay-extensions of the internet in remote areas, to extend productive asset data coverage in even the most rural communities. By introducing open-standards communications, AirLink allows customers' phones and PAYGo assets to communicate between themselves and each other using widely available, standard low-energy Bluetooth connectivity.

OpenPAYGO Token

The OpenPAYGO Token is an open source token system to enable PAYGO functionality in new products. This system can be used by product manufacturers creating new devices and can be integrated with any PAYGO software platform.

Cicada

Many Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG/PAYGO) systems are based on 2G/GPRS communications. But as 2G towers get replaced by 3G and 4G infrastructure, energy access organizations around the world will need to update their hardware. Okra's communications solution, Cicada, is an open source module with 2G, 3G, 4G, and WiFi capabilities.

DS1600 Single Phase Smart Prepayment Meter 

DS1600 meter from DONSUN Technology provides an effective and reliable solution for smart prepayment metering for domestic consumers. It offers modular communications as PLC, 3G/GPRS, RF Mesh to interface directly to the utility via WAN or LAN and to connect to a consumer's Home Automation Network (HAN).

       Communication       DS1600  DS1600 provides modular communication platforms, including GSM/GPRS, PLC and Low Power Radio for WAN/LAN communications. Options for HAN communications can be included each as M-Bus or ZigBee.

All methods of communication allow the meter registers and security data to be read electronically from a laptop, hand-held device or by HES remotely, greatly reducing the possibility of manual meter reading errors. The same data is available via the meter auxiliary terminals and the exchangeable communication module.
