How RelyEZ Is Powering Africa’s Expanding Solar and Energy Storage Market
Across Africa, the rapid rollout of solar generation is shifting the challenge from simply adding capacity to integrating power reliably into weak and unstable grids. Diesel dependence, frequency instability and limited transmission infrastructure are driving demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) not as optional hardware, but as core infrastructure for resilient power systems.
In markets from East to West Africa, storage is increasingly deployed not for arbitrage but for reliability, stability and energy access — especially in hybrid microgrids and solar-plus-storage projects that reduce fuel costs and improve service continuity.
To meet these needs, developers and utilities are moving beyond standalone batteries toward end-to-end storage solutions that bundle engineered systems, intelligent controls and lifecycle support. This approach enables faster integration, higher performance under Africa’s challenging operating conditions and stronger bankability for long-term financing.
VUKA Group, as RelyEZ’s regional partner, plays a key role in delivering these solutions across Africa. VUKA Group provides local expertise, project management, and support services, ensuring that RelyEZ’s modular, containerised platforms and intelligent Energy Management Systems are deployed effectively and optimised for African conditions. Together, RelyEZ and VUKA Group are helping utilities and communities integrate storage, strengthen grid stability, and advance renewable energy access.
