				    U.S. Solar Workforce As of Q4 2020, over 231,000 U.S. employees spent the majority of their time on solar, with another 86,000 U.S. jobs spending under 50% of time associated with solar.
				    The average 2024 price of a BESS 20-foot DC container in the US is expected to come down to US$148/kWh, down from US$180/kWh last year, a similar fall to that seen in 2023, as reported by Energy-Storage.news, when CEA launched

				    The growth of solar and wind power capacities depends largely on their cost and tariff trends. Various domestic policies and global shocks have impacted these two factors.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
The complexity of grid connection requirements varies significantly based on location and local regulations, with costs ranging from €50,000 to €200,000 per MW of capacity. System integration expenses cover the sophisticated control systems, energy management software, and monitoring equipment essential for optimal battery performance.
There is a huge potential for solar installations, with ideal climate conditions and substantial funding coming from the EU. The situation is similar in other areas of Central and Eastern Europe, where Wattstor has already completed a number of successful renewable energy installations – such as Poland, Croatia and Slovakia.
In residential area, about 70 percent of new PV power plants are installed with accumulation. Leading Czech manufacturers of advanced Li-Ion batteries (OIG Power, Fitcraft, GWL Power, A123 Systems, EV Battery, HE3DA /Magna Energy Storage) successfully compete in the residential sector and in smaller commercial installations.
For example, in the UK we recently worked with pharmaceutical distributor, Mawdsleys, to maximise the installed capacity of their rooftop solar panels. Because of grid constraints, Mawdsleys’ solar panels could only generate about 40% of the plant’s required power.
For a typical 100 MW/400 MWh utility-scale installation in Europe, hardware and equipment costs currently range from €40 to €60 million. However, these costs are expected to decrease by 8-10% annually as manufacturing efficiency improves and supply chains mature.
