Overall, the project is forecast to avoid 100% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to a conventional technology. Aeroporti di Roma’s development plan for Leonardo da Vinci Airport foresees the installation of the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) array inside any airport infrastructure across Europe.
Once the project is complete, AdR has already planned to install additional solar PV and storage systems on the same site. The integration of the battery storage sector with other relevant sectors, such as automotive and the energy sector (generation, transmission and distribution) opens new and flexible opportunities.
The energy storage system will have a rated capacity of 2.5MW/10MWh. New battery construction will be avoided due to the project. Overall, the project is forecast to avoid 100% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to a conventional technology.
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.
