Safer, smarter, more energy efficient homes

Energy storage

Leverage the new business opportunity afforded by energy storage

Energy storage is a new and fast growing market that enables home owners and small commercial enterprises to manage their energy supply, reduce bills and contribute towards a sustainable future.

Energy storage is a new and fast growing market, compatible with rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. The leading solar-plus-storage markets are those with significant numbers of rooftop solar installations – Germany, followed by the UK, France and Italy.

As retail electricity prices are likely to increase in the future, solar PV coupled with energy storage provides consumers with a means to control energy bills.

Installing home energy storage enables households to manage their energy supply, become more independent from the grid, contribute to a sustainable future and reduce bills by storing either self-generated renewable energy or grid electricity when rates are lowest, and using it when it’s needed most.

People are increasingly opting for electric vehicles (EVs) as they become more affordable. Home energy storage systems allow households to charge their EVs with clean, self-generated electricity. The integrated energy storage unit provides safe, reliable and efficient power management.

The residential energy storage market in the EMEA region is expected to exceed $3.5B accumulated sales by 2025.
