Cape Verde's Energy Storage Revolution: Powering a Sustainable Future with Solar & Battery Innovation

You know how people say "islands are canaries in the coal mine for climate change"? Well, Cape Verde's been living that reality. With 90% of its electricity historically coming from imported diesel – costing 8-12% of GDP annually – this Atlantic archipelago has become sort of a laboratory for energy storage solutions. The real kicker? Their renewable energy mix jumped from 15% to 40% in just 5 years, but here's the rub: solar panels don't work when the sun sets. That's where the storage industry comes in.
