Calin Integration

The Odyssey platform offers multiple ways to integrate mini-grid and solar home system electricity payment data depending on the data source. Integrating this data makes it available for the following purposes:

1. Enabling the remote verification of connections required by some results-based financing programs.
   
2. Enable analytics and visualizations of the data via Odyssey’s Analytics platform; providing insights into the operations across your mini-grid sites or solar home system installations; and joined with other data on the Odyssey platform.
   
3. Sharing operating data with other users of the Odyssey platform, such as investors or financing program administrators.
   
4. When you share, what you share, and who you share with, is entirely up to you and controllable via the Odyssey Project Sharing User Interface.
