Ukuze uthole izibuyekezo zakamuva zenkampani kanye nemininingwane yomkhakha, qiniseka ukuthi uhlola isigaba se-Izindaba, oluqukethe izindatshana kanye nezimemezelo ezivela kuLifei nabalingani bayo. Uma unentshisekelo ethile ekuhlanganiseni izixazululo zamandla avuselelekayo njenge-solar nokugcinwa kwebhethri, i-Amandla amashaIkhasi linikeza ulwazi oluningiliziwe ngemikhiqizo ehambisanayo nezingxenye zesistimu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amabhizinisi afuna izingxenye zokusabalalisa amandla eziqinile angahlola okunikezwa yi-Lifei ngokusebenzisa i-DELIXI Electricikhasi lokubambisana, eliveza iziphazamisi zesekethe ezisezingeni eliphezulu, izishintshi, nemishini ehlobene. Thatha isinyathelo sokuqala ngakuwo amandla amakhulu, izindleko eziphansi, nekusasa elisimeme ngokuxhumana ne-Lifei namuhla ukuze uthole ukubonisana komuntu siqu nokuhlola uhlelo. Ikusasa lamandla selilapha, futhi i-Lifei ilungele ukukusiza ukuthi uyisebenzise.
