Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
Increasing the share of renewables poses new challenges: Excess energy produced during off-peak hours needs to be stored and made available when needed. Since energy storage systems (ESS) can balance supply and demand, they are an essential part of Germany’s energy transition. In line with this, the market for ESS is constantly growing.
In 2018, photovoltaic (PV) and energy-storage for households reached grid-parity: storing PV energy with batteries became cheaper than the price from the public power network. However, the majority of PV systems in Germany are not yet connected to batteries – in 2018 only 8% were equipped accordingly.
In 2020, more than 100,000 home storage units were implemented across Germany, bringing the total number to 300,000. In 2018, photovoltaic (PV) and energy-storage for households reached grid-parity: storing PV energy with batteries became cheaper than the price from the public power network.
Between 2013 and 2021, German household electricity prices remained relatively stable at EUR 0.28-0.32/kWh. However, by 2023, at the height of the energy crisis, prices had jumped to about EUR 0.45/kWh – a EUR 0.12/kWh increase compared to 2021.
For onshore wind, the generation costs in Germany are currently around EUR 6 cents/kWh and for solar, around EUR 5 cents/kWh for ground-mounted projects, making them lower than any other power generation technology (see charts below). The same is true in many countries around the world.
