Westore is a full-stack energy storage system developer with a focus in the Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural and Mini-grid energy storage segments in South Africa and Africa.
We offer a range of exclusive battery and thermal storage product offerings including Advanced Lead-Acid batteries and Hybrid Lead-Lithium systems.
Energy Storage is not affordable on an upfront cash basis and lacks innovative funding that allows for mass adoption of energy storage assets and limits the amount of intermittent renewable generation that can practically be deployed.
More than 500 Million people in sub-Saharan Africa live without access to reliable electricity.
Upfront battery energy storage costs restrict renewable energy project uptake, viability and returns.
Lack of dispatchable energy storage to support intermittent renewables limit the scale of energy transition.
We use a technology propelled, asset smart business model that allows for innovative finance solutions that makes storage affordable for mass adoption, while generating real returns for participating funders.
5X more cycles than 12V lead-acid batteries

Highest Net Present Value for storage projects
Our Advanced flooded Lead-acid battery offers the best in class and the only viable alternative to expensive Lithium options.
Westore has partnered with world-class technology providers that serve us with a bouquet of different energy storage solutions that enable us to offer prospective customers and projects integrated energy storage solutions.
The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a global technical assistance programme funded by the UK government to directly support climate projects to access finance.
