In recent years, DC mesh grids have gained recognition as a cost-effective and safe low-voltage solution for rural electrification, particularly for residential customers and small shops with power needs below 3-5 kW. In this episode, host Nico dives into the advantages and challenges of this emerging technology and the business models it enables. Joining the conversation are Afnan Hannan of OKRA Solar and Felix Boldt of Solarworx, two leading innovators in mesh grid solutions.

The discussion explores how mini-grid and solar home system companies are deploying DC mesh grids, examining how these technologies can complement one another in the quest for sustainable rural electrification. Nico also delves into the key differences between OKRA Solar's and Solarworx's approaches, comparing their technology and CAPEX implications. Whether you're an industry insider or just curious about the future of off-grid energy, this episode offers valuable insights into this transformative technology.
