Lithium-ion batteries: The Beyoncé of energy storage—popular but pricey. In Antananarivo, a 5kWh system costs around 12 million MGA (≈ $2,600). Yes, it’s steep, but lifespan (10+ years) and efficiency (95%) justify the splurge [1] [10]. Lead-acid batteries: The local "vazaha" favorite. Read MoreDownload files
