Shared Energy, Solved
GridAI measures every unit's true share of grid, solar, and generator energy in real time, then settles it automatically. No spreadsheets. No disputes.
The Problem
Estates and complexes invest in solar, backup, and batteries. Then the bill arrives and nobody can agree on who owes what.
Conservative users end up subsidising the neighbours who leave the aircon on. Everyone feels cheated.
Owners cannot agree on shared infrastructure, so the roof stays empty and the business case dies in the AGM.
Managing agents lose days every month to spreadsheets, estimated readings, and disputes they cannot prove either way.
What We Do
From prepaid electricity to backup water, GridAI gives estates a single system for fair metering, fair billing, and fair control.
Token-based prepaid is 1990s technology and it falls apart the moment an estate adds shared solar. GridAI replaces it with app-based wallets and real-time balances.
Turn a shared solar plant into something every unit gets a fair share of, without the body corporate taking on debt.
Automated statements. Peak and off-peak tariffs passed through cleanly. End-of-month admin, done.
Commercial and large residential tariffs punish the whole estate for one spike. GridAI identifies the units actually driving the peak and allocates the charge to them.
When the generator runs, the residents driving the load pay for the diesel. Not the ones away on holiday.
Tank level monitoring, supply rotation during outages, and fair backup water billing.
How It Works
Three steps, one platform. The detail lives in the call we would like to have with you.
We connect to your existing bulk and individual electricity and water meters. Every unit, every source, read in real time.
The platform builds a live picture of who used what, when, and from where. Grid, solar, or generator.
Bills go out automatically with an audit trail residents can trust. Disputes end. Admin disappears.
For Residents
If you live in an estate or complex and the electricity bill feels wrong, it probably is. We'll log your real usage for a week, compare it to what you're being charged, and give you a report you can take to the body corporate.
No commitment. No sales pitch to your body corporate unless you ask for one.
About
GridAI is a small team of engineers building the utility layer for shared buildings. We started with the hardest problem: fair energy allocation in a load-shedding economy. Hardware, software, and the billing layer that ties them together.
Based in Johannesburg. Deploying across South Africa.
