Chemical battery storage, particularly led by lithium batteries, has advanced significantly in cost, capacity, and technology, positioning batteries to pave the way for further growth in photovoltaic solar energy. With batteries offering a solution for energy storage when the sun is not shining, their evolution from being costly to becoming more affordable and widely utilized is evident through reduced costs and increased deployment volumes expected in 2023 and 2024.

Batteries, with their swift microsecond response times, play a crucial role in grid stability and energy cost management. From efficient grid-forming inverters to distributed residential and commercial battery installations, batteries are becoming integral components in modern energy systems. The decreasing costs and increasing adoption of lithium-ion batteries are forecasted to propel the global energy storage capacity to over 1 TWh in 2024, marking a significant milestone in the transition to cleaner and more reliable energy sources.
