According to Africa Infrastructure Knowledge Programme, the persistent power shortages across Africa have culminated in a crisis that is affecting 30 different nations, and this trend is likely to intensify due to ageing plants and insufficient maintenance. This has a significant impact on economic growth and productivity. Since the extension of load shedding, a majority of small businesses have closed due to power outages in South Africa. Additionally, power outages in Zimbabwe can last as long as 19 hours a day reportedly.

The products of EcoFlow are specifically designed to address the power outage challenges. With the industry's fastest charging speed and excellent efficiency solar conversion rate of 23%, EcoFlow's solutions offer an alternative to traditional backup power sources that is more eco-friendly, compact, and sustainable, whilst also empowering more individuals with power independence.

EcoFlow's latest DELTA 2 Solar Generators can provide 1-3kWh electricity with an add-on extra battery, attributed to its expandable capacity. 1800W rated output(up to 2400W with X-Boost mode on) provides enough power for 90% of home appliances. Fully rechargeable in 80 minutes by an AC socket and as fast as 3 hours by solar charging, users can rest assured that they will always be prepared with DELTA 2. When a temporary power cut strikes, DELTA 2 can automatically switch the energy source from mains to its battery power in less than 30 milliseconds to protect your home appliances and keep the essentials running.

Weighing from 3.5kg, the RIVER 2 series offers a more portable and accessible power source for homes, outdoors and on the go. Small but still powerful, the RIVER 2 series breaks the charging speed record with 0-100% in merely one hour with an AC socket. While working at home, the 512Wh capacity of RIVER 2 Max portable power station has enough juice to keep your laptop and Wi-Fi router running even during Stage 5/6 of load shedding. Both adopting the LFP battery, DELTA 2 and RIVER 2 series have a lifespan of 3000 cycles, which is about 10 years of everyday use.
