Let the borehole text you — instead of driving out to check.

Boreholes, reservoirs, pump stations and river gauges are where you need data and where grid power and signal are hardest to get. addanode monitors them on solar power and low-power radio, buffering through load shedding — so a remote asset reports its own level, flow and status, and you stop making the trip just to read a gauge.

What we deliver

Off-grid sensing that runs for years.

What we sense

Reservoir and tank level, borehole level, flow, pressure and pump status — the numbers that previously needed a site visit.

Solar & low-power

A modest solar panel and battery run a low-power node indefinitely, reporting over LoRaWAN or NB-IoT — no grid, no airtime-hungry link.

Buffer & alert

Edge buffering through outages and poor signal, with alerts on a sudden level drop, a dry-run pump or an abnormal reading.

How we scope it

Sized for the site and the sun.

The discipline that matters: size for the worst week, not the average. A node sized to survive a cloudy winter spell runs for years; one sized to summer averages fails exactly when the weather turns.

Frequently asked

Remote-monitoring questions.

For how to size solar so it survives winter, see our solar-powered remote monitoring guide.

Yes. A monitoring node draws only a few watt-hours a day, so a small solar panel and battery run it indefinitely, off-grid — there's no grid connection to install and no load shedding to survive.
A properly sized node keeps running because the battery carries several days of autonomy and the panel is sized to recharge on a poor-sun day. The edge device also buffers readings and forwards them when the link returns, so nothing is lost.
Borehole and reservoir levels, pump status, flow and pressure, river gauges and remote tanks — anything remote and low-power, reporting over LoRaWAN or NB-IoT so distance from the grid and from a tower isn't a barrier.

Have a remote water asset you can't easily reach?

Tell us what you need to monitor and where. We'll size a solar-powered, off-grid node to run reliably through South African winters and cloudy spells.
