Kenya, March 13, 2025 – EVE Energy, a global leader in lithium battery and energy storage solutions, took the spotlight at the Intersolar Summit Africa 2025, presenting its latest innovations designed to propel Africa's transition to sustainable energy. The summit, held in Kenya on March 12-13, brought together industry experts and thought leaders to discuss the future of renewable energy across the continent.
With Africa’s rapid economic growth and population expansion, the continent faces mounting pressure on traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources, which struggle to meet the increasing demand. However, Africa is rich in solar and wind resources, making it an ideal environment for renewable energy solutions. Energy storage systems (ESS) are essential for bridging the power supply gaps and promoting the widespread adoption of green energy. According to AFSIA Solar, Africa's energy storage capacity skyrocketed from 31 MWh in 2017 to 1,600 MWh in 2024, underlining the increasing demand for ESS technology.
To meet the growing energy storage demands in Africa, EVE Energy introduced its flagship innovation, the "Mr.Giant" large-scale ESS solution. Tom Tang, ESS Sales Director for the Middle East and Africa, emphasized how Mr.Giant enhances the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of energy storage, aiding African nations in balancing their energy supplies.
Mr.Giant is designed with super-large cells and an optimized system structure, reducing the need for components by 50%. This not only simplifies installation and maintenance but also lowers manual maintenance costs by 30% over its lifespan, making large-scale energy storage more accessible and affordable for Africa.
EVE Energy also showcased a range of tailored ESS solutions designed to cater to different sectors:
Commercial & Industrial ESS: EVE Energy’s liquid-cooled outdoor DC cabinets and all-in-one storage solutions are equipped with high-capacity 280Ah and 314Ah cells. Built to withstand Africa's extreme temperatures and humidity, these systems operate in a wide range of -20°C to 55°C, with IP67 protection, ensuring durability and performance even in the harshest conditions.
Residential ESS: To support households seeking energy independence, EVE Energy unveiled customized residential ESS solutions. One highlight is the 5 kWh wall-mounted battery, launched in South Africa in 2024, which offers long-lasting power, high safety standards, and flexible installation options, providing reliable backup power for homes.
Looking to the future, EVE Energy remains dedicated to advancing energy storage technology and expanding its presence in Africa. Through innovative partnerships and cutting-edge solutions, the company is committed to contributing to the global shift towards sustainable energy, helping to create a cleaner and greener future for the continent and beyond.
