After 2 years of research and development, Subilo unveiled its flagship product, lithium-ion batteries, the first of their kind in Zambia. The company designs and assembles lithium-ion batteries which come in three versions. Their smallest size is a 12v 100ah followed by a midsize 12v 150ah.
[pdf] With prices dropping 89% since 2010 (BloombergNEF), lithium-ion dominates Zambia energy storage quotations. A 1MW/4MWh system now costs ~$550,000—cheaper than building a new coal plant! Pro tip: Pair with Zambia’s abundant solar for maximum ROI. Need 12+ hours of storage?
[pdf] A new partnership between Grid Africa and China-based CEGN is set to deploy 50 MWh of battery energy storage in Zambia, supporting wider adoption of solar power, especially beyond daylight hours.
