The German Solar Battery Storage Price Monitoring summarizes price data of the most important battery storage market segments. To that end, EuPD Research interviews 80 solar installation companies and summarizes developments in a price index. In addition, the following data is gathered in the German Solar Battery Storage Price Monitoring:
From pv magazine Germany The average system price for rooftop PV systems in German single-family homes with and without battery storage rose by around 10% to €1,557 ($1,711)/kW in the second quarter of 2023, in comparison with the first quarter of the year. The prices are 21.9% higher than the second quarter of 2022 when they stood at €1,277/kW.
In 2019, 46% of all commissioned residential rooftop PV systems had already been paired with battery storage systems. 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. Consequently, an exponentially growing number of homeowners and companies store solar power for times when solar generation is low.
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.
