Solar Energy Storage Market is the Next Growth Industry
- New research forecasts that the global market for grid-connected residential photovoltaic (PV) solar installations with energy storage will exceed 900MW in 2018, growing exponentially from its current 90MW.
- Market research firm IHS also estimates that grid-connected PV energy storage paired with energy storage will reach 775MW of global installations during 2015.
- Helping drive solar growth is the decreasing cost of storage, specifically the price of lithium-ion batteries that are expected to drop by a third between now and 2018.
