The variety of residential battery vitality storage techniques (BESS) put in throughout Europe jumped from 650,000 in 2021 to greater than 1 million in 2022, based on the newest figures from SolarPower Europe.

“In years outlined by excessive retail electrical energy costs, photo voltaic and storage might help cut back electrical energy payments,” stated Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe. “It is no surprise that customers are putting in file numbers of battery-powered properties yearly.”
The photo voltaic trade commerce affiliation says the variety of properties internet hosting photo voltaic batteries in Europe is more likely to triple to three.5 million by 2026. In the very best case state of affairs, it could possibly be round 40 % extra, with the fitting coverage frameworks in place, it admitted. It now calls on lawmakers to current a complete EU electrical energy storage technique and a goal of 200 GW by 2030.
