Executive Summary:
Lytup delivers advanced energy storage solutions for Sub-Saharan Africa and remote Canadian areas affected by climate challenges and storms. Our Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) includes a Thermal Management System for a 15+ year battery life, a Microcontroller for efficiency and safety, and Smart IoT technology for real-time monitoring. This cost-effective, durable solution enhances energy access, cuts costs, and supports sustainability.
Problem Statement:
People in Sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire) and some remote Canadian areas face severe energy challenges due to unreliable electricity and frequent outages. These issues disrupt daily life, hinder business productivity, and deter investments, stalling economic growth. The reliance on expensive, polluting diesel and gas generators exacerbates health problems and strains low-income families. Educational institutions also suffer, reducing study time and student performance. High temperatures accelerate battery degradation, reducing lifespan and increasing costs.
Key Achievements:
- Product Development: Manufactured and well-tested BESS with IoT, EMS, and a mobile app.
- Team Expansion: 15 employees and contractors in Canada, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria.
- Funding: Secured angel, family, and friends fundraising.
- Patents: Three patents approved, with more applications pending in 17 African countries.
- Pilot Projects: Pilot units installed, receiving positive feedback.
Strategic Partnership:
We have partnered with 12 Energy, an Ontario-based company with over 25 years of experience in the power sector.
