Leading digital technologies and services distributor Axiz has announced a collaboration with Duracell Energy to expand access to advanced energy solutions across Africa. This partnership will address the increasing demand for energy independence and sustainability, offering homes and businesses greater control over their energy consumption, reducing dependence on traditional power grids, and ensuring a reliable power supply.
Axiz, which has a dedicated solar division, plans to use its channel-focussed model and extensive distribution network to bring these products to a wider audience. Rory Twort, Managing Executive for Sales at Axiz, says that partnering with Duracell Energy will support Axiz in delivering on the promise of bringing high-quality, sustainable energy solutions to the African market.
Duracell Energy, a market leader in solar products across South Africa, sees significant growth potential in this partnership. “The scope and opportunity for scalability of the Axiz partnership positions Duracell Energy to increase our market visibility and provide more homeowners with energy security, while lowering their energy bills,” said Dylan Murray, Sales Manager for South Africa at UK-based Puredrive Energy, an authorised Duracell Licensee. “Our products primarily support homeowners and small businesses to lower their costs and boost energy independence with sustainable, green solutions.”
The Duracell Energy Home EcoSystem includes a range of solar and storage solutions available to the South African market such as the Dura-I 6kW inverter, the 5kW Duracell 5+ battery, and the 7.3kW EV Charger, managed through the Duracell Energy App. This app enables seamless management of energy storage, charging, and usage, allowing homeowners to automate and control their energy needs with ease.
A key addition to this lineup is the soon-to-be-released Dura5 5kWh storage battery, which uses the latest advancements in lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technology. This battery offers high charge and discharge rates, ensuring continuous power during outages. It also provides versatile installation options, such as wall mounting and modular stacking, allowing the system to grow according to a household’s needs. “The Dura5 battery offers a market-leading choice in terms of reliability and performance,” added Dylan Murray.
In addition to the product offerings, Duracell Energy and Axiz will provide customer support and educational content to help homeowners understand the benefits of solar technology. Duracell Energy will also support resellers with marketing resources, including quality leads generated through its website and social media campaigns, along with custom-approved graphics for installers lacking marketing capacity.
