New Sun Road produces modular, smart microgrid systems designed to deliver reliable and renewable electricity and internet infrastructure to underserved communities in the developing world. With more than 1 billion people left in the dark by traditional infrastructure, New Sun Road is building “bottom-up” power systems through their proprietary microgrid architecture and live monitoring tools. New Sun Road deployed their first pilot system in Uganda in the summer of 2015 and won a competitive Microsoft Affordable Access Initiative grant in 2016.
