Sustained growth is forecasted in the market for new PV capacity for years to come. Concurrently, battery systems are expected to reach a capacity of at least 100 GWh by 2030, reflecting a transformative shift within the German energy system towards renewable energy integration.
Industry body the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW-Solar) expects around 7 GWh of large-scale battery storage to be added during that period. From ESS News German solar trade body BSW-Solar expects the capacity of large battery storage systems installed in Germany to increase fivefold by 2026.
Remarkably, this share surged to 77% in 2023, indicating a significant upward trajectory of the trend toward combining PV residential rooftop systems with battery storage in Germany. To date, most battery storage systems in the German electricity system have been used exclusively to optimize self-consumption.
Battery Storage Boom: 1.2 Million Systems Installed Notably, battery storage systems, also essential for Germany's renewable energy transition, constitute a significant component of this ecosystem, with 1.2 million installed systems.
