Seemingly far-fetch, the booming E.V. sector could support storage battery development as well. Although the market deploys different battery technology for electric mobility and energy storage system (ESS), some leading Chinese E.V. battery providers have well prepared to set foot in ESS.
Domestically, however, 2019 was a year of setback. The country as a whole produced some 3.8GWh lithium-ion energy storage cell, which increased by 26.7% year-on-year. The growth, however, mainly thanks to the international market. Whereas sales for the domestic market, just 0.7GW, plummeted 75% YoY last year.
We have previously introduced this unexpected “casualty” triggered by Beijing’s power market reform (against the “monopoly” grids). Last year, the world added 1.58GW battery storage capacity, with a 56.98% decreased from 2018, mainly due to this policy change in China.
The May policy set clear that the energy storage investment by the power grid companies— the largest investors in China’s electricity sector—will be disregarded in the transmission pricing audit. [Read More about China’s Reformative Measure Against the Grid’s Interest]
Meanwhile, if the history of solar power tells us anything, the setback for BES may not be there for long. And the country is likely to revamp constructions that require the support of battery energy systems. New policy factors may provide further incentives for growth.
Right now, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai region markets provide soil for the arbitrage model. Demand Side: Solar + Battery Model: yet to fully develop in China. But it faces some uncertainty as Beijing intends to curb and cut retail electricity prices. In 2020, some 9.9GWh demand for BES is expected.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
