The NXT Grid vision is to see profitable, clean mini-grids everywhere, by everyone. NXT Grid democratises developing and operating profitable solar micro-utilities in Africa, through smart solar PV panels and battery equipment rental and AI-enabled support services. It empowers local businesses to become successful mini-grid developers, by removing financial and technical barriers. Thanks to smart tools, automation and standardisation, NXT Grid can confirm viability, complete budgeting and design for a solar mini-grid in less than a month. Local equipment stock and standardised rental terms make it possible to go from concept to lights-on in 100 days.
