Energy transition
Solar and battery research
Until recently the commercial and industrial (C&I) and residential parts of the solar and battery market have been characterized by subsidy-driven boom-and-bust cycle. However, now sustainable structural drivers are in place that will lead to strong growth through 2030 and beyond.
Customers are increasingly seeing solar and battery systems as a hedging tool against electricity price volatility and higher prices. At the same time, market activity has accelerated, with more competitive solar and battery/tariff offers and new solar and battery market entrants with ambitious growth plans and backed by significant capital backing.
