2. Control RemotelyBBOXX SMART Solar links customers, equipment, support and payment to raise the standard of solar energy, building a trusted BBOXX brand across all emerging markets.

SMART Solar is a BBOXX energy service that provides remote monitoring and battery management.

Usage information is collected and sent through mobile networks to a BBOXX cloud-based customer and hardware management dashboard.

BBOXX uses data analysis to configure and adapt each system to extend the life of the battery and control the product.

SMART Solar enables superior customer service based on real-time data. Proactive alerts are issued to customer service agents to instantly track problems before they evolve.

The SMART Solar dashboard shows the location of each system up to 1km giving geographical coordinates direct to service agents.

Lastly, to ensure monthly payments are made and to remove the risk of extending credit financing to customers, SMART Solar includes the ability to remotely turn-off the system if required.

BBOXX SOLAR KITSSolar kits are best suited to accommodate energy needs that range from small to medium households and are widely used to start a local phone charging business.
