Suntricity: Building a Smarter Future for Schools
Since 2012, dedicated to helping schools eliminate the silent drain of capital caused by unmanaged electricity and water consumption
Our Mission
For over a decade, through deep analysis of municipal invoices, we have been on the front lines, uncovering the hidden costs and inefficiencies that divert valuable funds away from the core function of education.
As we look to 2026 and beyond, we are strengthening this commitment. We envision a future where hardware and intelligence leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), placing smarter technology at the core of tackling resource waste at scale.
Powered by Two Fundamental Data Streams
Our powerful, integrated platform transforms how schools manage their most critical and rapidly escalating costs: municipal utilities
1. Monthly Municipal Invoices
Utilising the immense power of AI, Suntricity's platform analyses municipal invoices, going deeper than ever before to identify efficiency opportunities, detect billing errors, and forecast future costs with incredible accuracy.
We have introduced benchmarking capabilities that enable schools within a Ward or District to understand how they compare with their peers—bringing unprecedented clarity to the rising cost of water and electricity.
Schools simply upload their monthly utility invoices to the Suntricity dashboard and see the results seamlessly integrated into an enormous wealth of comparative data.
2. Daily Water Meter Monitoring (Zero-CAPEX)
Through a simple, low-cost process, schools can send twice-daily (AM & PM) municipal water meter photographs via WhatsApp.
While this is a methodology Suntricity has championed for years, the integration of AI has revolutionised the speed of analysis. Our database can now instantly process these images, which over time will build clear consumption patterns and alert schools to costly overnight leaks or abnormal usage that would otherwise go unnoticed for weeks.
From Data to Action
Data capture isn't just about collecting numbers; it's about empowerment. We enable schools to make informed investment decisions by providing the evidence needed to eliminate risk, and redirect funds from wasted utilities back into maintenance and education.
Early Warning Signs
We provide schools with the early warning signs needed to prevent unnecessary financial waste
City-Wide Visual Map
By creating a city-wide visual map of progress, we allow decision-makers to prioritise effectively
Community of Leaders
Enable schools to learn from each other, building a community of leaders
