SOLAR ENERGY AND BATTERY STORAGE MARKET OVERVIEW

Solar energy and battery storage market is expected grow at 15.5% during forecast period 2022-2030, due to increasing demand for electricity across the globe. The solar battery is in high demand as it is used for storing solar power and also discharges the power according to the requirement. This lithium-ion or lead-acid is rechargeable and is also used for storing energy in the solar system. The solar battery is widely used in various appliances like solar charging stations, power plants, and off-grids used as storage systems. It was marked that in the year 2020, Italy got a contract of 95MW solar battery storage for delivering it starting from 2022 till 2030.

SOLAR ENERGY AND BATTERY STORAGE MARKET COVID 19 ANALYSIS

Globally the solar energy and battery storage market was greatly disrupted during COVID. Due to the rise in social distance, manpower decreased which in turn affected the market growth. It led to the delay in the installations of the solar systems and also led to the cancellation of new contracts. Consumer expenditure was highly affected during the pandemic. COVID imposed many restrictions which led to the disruption in the downstream and upstream supply chains. India was largely dependent on China for the import of solar panels. So highly depending on China for solar systems particularly during the COVID period affected the manufacturing and supply.

Moreover, the government has imposed the use of masks and gloves. If the people do not wear masks and gloves, then strict action was taken against them.

SOLAR ENERGY AND BATTERY STORAGE MARKET DYNAMICS

Drivers- 

rise in demand for the usage of environment-friendly solar systems which are cost-effective enough for which it is being used in various other industrial and commercial sectors. The use of sustainable energy sources is the major factor that enhances the use of these solar cells thus driving the Solar energy and battery storage market size. Using solar panels has decreased the monthly electricity bill thus rising the market value. As per the global market trends use of amorphous silicon cells segment and the use of copper indium gallium selenide panels bolsters up the business.

Opportunities- 

the use of AI technologies and the expansion of energy trading with blockchain have steered up the market by providing these advanced opportunities. This stimulates the owner to export the maximum energy and sell it at a reasonable price. Urbanization, industrialization, and the growth in population demand increase energy consumption and provide great opportunities fr expansion. Installing at the roof and the rise of applications for the architectural sector has also lubricated the demand.

Challenges- 

high expenses for installation of the solar systems and also the high sum of money is required for its maintenance has become the most challenging factor of the solar market. Presently, solar battery storage is dependent on the tax of the government and also on its subsidy.

Cumulative growth- 

the solar systems are made in such a manner that the water in them needs to be changed daily and should be replaced by distilled. This change of water prevents the environment from being polluted thus stimulating the market size. The demand of using renewable sources of energy solutions by the key players of the market help in increasing the growth of the market. The solar energy and battery storage market value is increased due to the adoption of solar power towers in the generation of electricity has increased the demand and has boosted up the market growth.

Restraints- 

the amount of sun rays that comes and strikes the earth’s surface is not constant. it s variation takes place based on location, time, season, and weather conditions. Moreover, the amount of rays striking square feet is very small so a huge surface area is needed for absorption and collect some amount of energy. These factors act as major restraints hampering the market growth. Opting for PV technology is hugely affected by reliability, production on a huge scale, and competitiveness. The overall weather conditions and geographical latitudes hamper the market expansion.

SOLAR ENERGY AND BATTERY STORAGE MARKET SEGMENTATION

• By type- globally, it has been marked that the solar energy and battery storage market has been categorized into type, end-users, and also based on region. Based on type, the market has been classified into lead-acid, lithium-ion, also on flow batteries, and many others. The lithium-ion division is expected to occupy the largest area. It contributes to the use of high charge and discharge abilities of solar batteries. Based on end-user, the industry is divided into utility, industrial, commercial, and residential. Regionally, the industry is divided into the North American region, Asia Pacific region, and some other regions in the rest of the world.


• By technology- it has been marked that the technology has brought the market to an excellent level. Due to the use of modernized technology, the carbon footprints which was marked previously have been emitted. Technology has enhanced the self-reliance behavior of the customers. It has been widely used in the residential and commercial sectors. It has made us energy independent. It has also minimized the excess use of grid power. Due to such advancements in the solar energy and battery storage industry much more customers are being attracted to opt for solar panels and systems.

SOLAR ENERGY AND BATTERY STORAGE MARKET REGIONAL ANALYSIS
