Although off-grid power technology isn’t new, it has recently emerged as a viable option for those looking to reduce their reliance on centralized electricity sources. As the world becomes increasingly digitized and globalized, the need for reliable, affordable electrical power will only continue to grow. Off-grid, power technology has the potential to fill this need.

Cloud Softwares can predict energy requirements and capabilities with accuracy by combining analytics with energy and weather forecasts. By balancing needs and available resources to ensure optimal uptime, an energy forecast enables proactive and efficient energy management.

Clear Blue Technologies is one company that can lead the way towards this evolution and offers the first off-grid products on the market.

What Does Off-Grid Mean?

The term “off-grid” refers to electricity users or systems that are not connected to the main electricity grid. These are usually located in remote areas, such as rural and regional areas. Electricity is more expensive in these areas because of the high cost of fuel for local power generators, usually diesel or natural gas.

Why Off-Grid Power?

Off-grid power gives the ability to control electricity systems from all over the world like smartphones, computers, and tablets. By doing so it’s possible to completely optimize power usage depending on natural or human circumstances.

In most cases, everything gets its power by being connected to the electrical grid which is expensive and may not be possible to install in rural areas or densely populated cities.

Renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, are simpler, cheaper, and environmentally friendlier. In addition, its installation takes less than a day and is therefore not too complicated.

What is Clear Blue Technologies’ Goal?
