Stabilizing the grid
High-power appliances (such as air conditioners) switched on simultaneously will cause grid outages. FairBox protects the power grid by disabling large loads and assuring power for basic needs.
Conscious consumer behavior
The FairBox displays power consumption and cost, even for individual appliances, and educates consumers to save energy.
Fair and transparent tariffs
Progressive tariffs and time-of-use tariffs encourage energy saving. Billing via smartphone has many advantages.
Sustainability
FairGrid stabilizes the electricity grids, provides the technical requirements and financial incentives for grid connected PV systems, and also ensures safe, simple and cost-effective billing. Thus, FairGrid promotes the energy transition in Africa.
