Proceedings of International Conference on Advanced Computing Applications

Abstract

Electricity plays a vital role in the developmental reform of any country (Sustainability Development Goal (SDG 7)), it is almost as important as food shelter, it’s also important to have electricity when you need it and where it is needed, in the home or business. The aim of this research is to provide energy just as it is demanded to homes and, especially small and medium-size enterprises that will lower their operating expenses and be environmentally friendly. Electricity will be bought online via a web or a software application, which will be delivered to the consumer in the form of a box containing electrical components like batteries and inverters to suit their energy needs. End-consumers get energy when they need it, and the software application helps the consumer manage the system thereby save on energy cost and reduces the carbon emission of the consumer. This will give a chance to organizations to make enhancements to their energy system without intensive capital or debt while still enjoying the benefits of the system. An internet platform will be designed to purchase plans and monitor the energy system.
