Why UpNepa?
Easy Access to Clean Energy
UpNepa offers a Rent-Reuse-Return model to access a solar charged 1kwh battery pack, use it, and exchange when empty with another charged battery at a swap station or by delivery service. We also offer a pathway to owning clean energy infrastructure using a Rent-to-Own model.
Mobile Power, Multiple Use Cases
The design of our power station makes battery pack detachable from the power module which reduces the weight of the pack to 12kg. This makes the packs easy to carry, swap and use in multiple applications. Swap stations are modular and are situated within a kilometre of our customer service area for minimal downtimes.
Distributed, On-Demand Power
We provide an inter-connected physical and virtual network of users and energy infrastructure in a way that makes power easier distributed, understood, and utilized. We understand the dynamism of power demand which is why we provide an alternate solution in the moments and places which the customer really needs it.
