Mini grids, with approximately 21,000 installed globally, are emerging as a viable energy access solution. To reach half a billion people by 2030, the world requires 217,000 mini grids, largely solar powered with battery backup. Battery storage plays a critical role in mini grids, with lithium-ion batteries gaining popularity over traditional lead-acid batteries due
