Residential Energy Storage In Germany Is No Easy Track To Success – Energy Storage World Forum

Residential PV systems is a tough market to compete in despite the significant increase in the demand for solar batteries, warns the German Solar Industry Association.

There is a healthy demand growing for energy storage in Germany. Last year, about 20% of household PV systems were sold with a battery pack. High household electricity prices here is drawing consumers to solar plus storage solutions.

However, despite the financial incentives, German households find it difficult to cough up the €20,000 needed for the combined PV-and-battery systems. The market is also close to saturation with about 70% of German PV installation companies offering storage as an option. Add to that about 30-40 technology resellers and distributors. Some companies might be selling at a loss to build market share.

Nonetheless, some see a gap for companies that can offer integrated systems and high-quality services as few companies are skilled enough to provide homeowners with precise self-consumption rates and return-on-investment calculations.

If you want to know more about this and other topics directly from end users of energy storage technologies join us at one of these annual events: The Energy Storage World Forum (Grid Scale Applications), or The Residential Energy Storage Forum, or one of our Training Courses.

Dufresne (doo - frayn) Research specialises in creating high quality market driven conferences and training. The company focuses on stationary Energy Storage across all applications from Residential, Self - Consumption and Microgrid through to large scale stationary storage. We are Europe's first conference dedicated solely to energy storage since 2010. All of our Forum's culminate with the unique Building the Action Plan feature. Join us for this session and take back an action list to the workplace.
