Gram Power is an energy technology company founded in 2010 out of University of California Berkeley.
Founded in California in 2010, Gram Power is an energy technology company, headquartered in India that has developed and patented the industry's lowest cost and most advanced smart electricity metering system. With their technology and ‘metering as a service’ business model, they reduce power theft and distribution losses for several utilities in India. Gram Power's microgrid is powered by a centralized array of solar panels which collect the sun's energy and convert it to DC electricity. Surplus solar energy is stored in a battery array, providing users with a continuous supply of energy even during peak usage times and at night, when the solar panels do not provide any electricity. DC electricity from the solar array and batteries is converted to AC electricity via an inverter, which is then distributed throughout the service area via small overhead power lines. The system is monitored wirelessly by Gram Power for energy theft or other usage abnormalities.
