Across Burundi, solar systems are powering the health facilities and schools that communities depend on. But keeping those systems running well, and proving that they are, has never been simple.
Odyssey is partnering with the Government of Burundi to change that. Through the Remote Monitoring Platform for the SOLEIL-Nyakiriza Project, in partnership with the World Bank, we are giving the country real-time visibility into its growing portfolio of solar-powered public facilities, all from a single national platform.
From fragmented reporting to a single national view
Until now, monitoring depended heavily on site visits, fragmented reporting, and multiple manufacturer portals. For the people responsible for these programs, that made one basic question hard to answer: how are these systems actually performing across the country?
The platform replaces that patchwork with one cloud-based dashboard. Government stakeholders and development partners can now see the entire portfolio in one place: with real-time operational data, automated alerts, performance analytics, and KPI reporting across 713 public facility solar systems under management.
The shift is not just technical. It moves the management of these assets from reactive to proactive. Issues can be spotted earlier. Maintenance can be planned around real data rather than guesswork. And the facilities that communities rely on (clinics, schools) have more reliable power.
The digital backbone for better electrification
This project reflects how Odyssey thinks about distributed energy in emerging markets. The panels and batteries matter, but so does everything around them: the systems that track performance, verify results, and give governments and funders the confidence to keep investing.
By treating a national portfolio as one connected system rather than a series of isolated installations, Burundi is building the digital backbone for better public facility electrification: one that supports stronger maintenance, improved system performance, and greater accountability over time. Odyssey will provide long-term remote monitoring, platform hosting, and technical support throughout the implementation period.
A growing footprint across Francophone Africa
The SOLEIL-Nyakiriza project deepens Odyssey's partnership with the Government of Burundi and the World Bank, while further expanding our growing presence across Francophone Africa and strengthening our work in other markets where reliable digital infrastructure is often the difference between a program that scales and one that stalls.
Beyond installation and building sustainable energy services
It is also an early example of what an Energy-as-a-Service model can look like in practice. While this program is not itself an EaaS deployment, the building blocks are here: the monitoring, the KPI tracking, and the performance visibility that a successful service-based model depends on.
As distributed energy matures across the continent, these are the foundations that will make outcomes, not just installations, the measure of success.
Odyssey is the platform at the center of the distributed energy market, connecting developers, financiers, and equipment manufacturers to get more clean energy projects built, faster. To learn more about our platform, get in touch at solutions@odysseyenergysolutions.com.
