Battery system signed by Germany’s Federal Minister of Economics and Energy, Thomas Barei\u00df | Image: BSW Solar<\/p><\/div>\n

Germany has reached another important milestone in its Energiewende (energy transition), the official commissioning of its 100,000th solar battery storage system.<\/p>\n

As it was with solar feed in tariffs<\/a>, Germany has been a pioneer in supporting home energy storage.<\/p>\n

In 2014, subsidies for batteries were introduced and while that scheme was to be wound up in 2016 due to funds being exhausted, in June last year funding for the program was topped up and has continued through this year. Helping things along with uptake is battery storage costs have dropped by more than 50 percent in Germany since 2013.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

“More than half of the photovoltaic system purchasers order a battery storage right away, because they want to achieve a high level of independence and to make a contribution to the energy transition,” (translated) said<\/a> Carsten K\u00f6rnig, Managing Director of BSW Solar, the German Solar Industry Association. “With this momentum, we will reach the next milestone, 200,000 solar batteries, in just two years.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In case you’re curious, the energy storage unit pictured above signed by Minister Barei\u00df is a SolarWatt MyReserve Matrix, details of which are listed on SQ’s solar battery storage comparison<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Battery Storage Uptake In Australia<\/h2>\n

The latest information from Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator indicates just under 10,000 solar battery storage<\/a> systems had been installed with new PV installations in Australia as at 31 July. However, the Regulator has previously acknowledged that not all installations are reported and its figures also don’t include retrofitted batteries. The lack of accurate figures has led to the proposed development of a National Battery Register<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Solar industry analysts SunWiz earlier this year put the number of behind-the-meter energy storage systems installed last year in Australia at 21,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Appetite for concurrent solar power + storage installations still doesn’t appear to be as great in Australia as it is in Germany. According to the most recent SolarQuotes auSSII report<\/a>, in July 2018 just under 10% of Australians using our service requested pricing<\/a> on a concurrent solar panel + battery system installation.<\/p>\n

The most recent Electricity Statement of\u00a0 Opportunities (ESOO<\/a>) from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) released this month has revised downward projected uptake of battery storage.<\/p>\n

“Across the NEM, uptake of business and residential behind-the-meter battery systems by the end of the 20-year outlook period is forecast to be 2.6 gigawatts (GW), less than half the level of uptake projected in 2017 ESOO (5.7 GW).”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The AEMO stated this was due to various factors, including lower forecast retail electricity prices leading to a longer payback period<\/a> on batteries.<\/p>\n

Whether the forecast electricity electricity price decreases materialise and outpace reductions in storage costs remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
