Why pairing solar energy with battery storage was the solution to
CPCS experts concluded that combining solar power and large-scale batteries was the best way to energize Mozambican cities and villages. This was not a routine assessment, because pairing solar power with battery procurement of such a scale had never been done in Africa. But CPCS felt confident breaking the mould for many reasons.
