Case Study: BBOXX achieves real-time, scalable remote monitoring to deliver clean solar power to 350,000 people with InfluxData

BBOXX - Customer Case Study

BBOXX (short for Battery Box) develops and deploys affordable solar home systems for off‑grid communities and had 85,000 units in over 35 countries serving ~350,000 people. To become a data‑driven company they needed reliable, real‑time monitoring across geographically dispersed devices on low‑bandwidth networks for remote management, billing, anomaly detection and scalability — all with minimal operational overhead.

They adopted InfluxData’s managed time‑series platform (InfluxCloud/InfluxDB) to ingest telemetry, logs and derived metrics with low latency and an easy query language. The solution enabled 24/7 monitoring, alerts, predictive battery health, billing and analytics, improving customer retention and product development; today BBOXX monitors and monetizes its fleet while positioning the platform to scale to millions of devices.
