Implementing AI-Powered Solar Mini-Grids in Africa

Due to the lack of access to electricity in rural areas of Africa, people have resorted to using expensive or pollutive energy products such as kerosene lanterns and generators. With the help from Husk Power Systems, U.S.-based AI company, artificial intelligence is being used to enable solar mini-grids to provide renewable power for communities that are off-grid in rural East and West Africa. VOA’s Paul Ndiho spoke to the chief marketing officer of Husk Power Systems, William Brent.
