Case Study: Videre Global achieves efficient off-grid solar installation and maintenance with what3words

Harnessing the sun in Botswana with what3words and Videre

Videre Global delivers off‑grid solar power across Africa but faced a common challenge: many target communities are remote, lack formal addresses and are costly and difficult to locate for installation and maintenance. Projects such as the “Seeing is Believing” street‑lighting work in Francistown, Botswana highlighted the need for a simple, reliable way to identify exact locations.

By integrating what3words, Videre assigns every solar unit and streetlight a unique 3‑word address, enabling precise navigation, smoother installations and faster maintenance. The approach has sped deployments (multiple lights installed in Francistown), helped customers record their locations for future service, improved lighting quality, reduced energy use and demonstrated a clear return on investment.
