Power shortage has become a long-term issue in South Africa. There were 205 consecutive days of power outages here in 2022, and this has lasted every day since the beginning of 2023. The increasingly severe power shortage has seriously affected people's daily lives as well as the development of the socio-economy. As South Africa experiences power outages for up to 10 hours a day, President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national "state of disaster" on Thursday to address the power crisis. Under the power supply constraints, the demand for reliable and stable power supply from residents drives South African household photovoltaic + energy storage to become one of the best choices for local energy utilization. According to the Council for Energy Storage (CES) forecast, South Africa's cumulative installed capacity for ground energy storage is expected to reach 14.8 GWh by 2030.
