SOLshare, the initiator of the world’s first peer-to-peer energy exchange network for rural communities, in collaboration with Shakti Foundation, has broken yet another glass ceiling in energy innovation.
|
|
|
Funded by the UK Government, in partnership with Shakti Foundation, we have interconnected one of our P2P solar microgrids - a network of interconnected solar home systems, in a rural village in Bangladesh through a single point called the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). This first in global innovation will allow rural villagers to sell energy to the national grid.

The event was inaugurated by our chief guest Dr. Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury, Bir Bikram, Advisor to the Hon’ble Prime Minister for Power, Energy & Mineral Resources Affairs, and joined by our special guest Mr. Javed Patel, Acting British High Commissioner to Bangladesh - it was truly an auspicious day.

Two of our grids at the Rohingya Refugee Camps are now INTERCONNECTED! While electricity exchange was limited to each of the 25 residents in each grid previously, this interconnection now enables all 50 residents to exchange electricity within the two grids, resulting in a synergy effect.

At SOLshare, we kicked off the new financial year with a SOLretreat - a company work retreat with equal parts team building and fun activities.
The one and half-day retreat kicked off at the beautiful Heritage Resort, with a presentation and brainstorming session allowing us to take a look at the past year, while we welcomed new company goals for the following year.
We also hosted a fun product roadshow where we put a lithium-ion battery-driven electric three-wheeler against a lead-acid battery-driven one. This allowed everyone at SOLshare to get a live glimpse of the differences these two batteries can make, showing us the results of what goes on behind the scenes in the labs.

|
The last bit hosted a presentation on our FY 2022-2023 North Stars, followed by awarding all our Value Ambassadors (aka our employees of the year), and was finally concluded with a fun and lively karaoke night.
But that wasn't all. The entire trip was also filled with games and sports building up healthy competition and teamwork while everyone had a chance to appreciate the natural beauty of the resort.
