What is Residential Solar Energy Storage Market?
Solar energy storage is a system or device that is used to store energy collected from sunlight. There are various solar power generation technologies such as photovoltaics (PV), concentrating solar power (CSP), and solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems and out of these, Photovoltaics (PV) has mostly used. Continuously increasing the prices for energy, high utilization of energy on a daily basis and rising environmental concern across the globe are the factors for driving the residential solar energy storage market. Additionally, increasing zero energy homes and spending on green construction is supplementing the growth of the market. However, unpredictable weather condition and high-cost batteries and requirement of power-conversion devices that increases overall cost are the factors that have been limiting the growth of the market. Moreover, increasing tax benefits from various regional governments and decreasing the cost of the solar energy storage system can be considered as an opportunity for the market.

In April 2019, A South Australian Company has developed the world’s first thermal energy device. The new device has similar functions like lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion but has higher storage capacity. Additionally, thermal energy device is a recyclable with a storage capacity 12 times more than lead-acid batteries. This new development can create new opportunities for the solar energy storage market.
It has been observed that many regional governments have been promoting solar energy due to environmental concern. For instance, in the United States, federal solar tax credit or investment tax credit (ITC) is considered as one of the best financial incentives for solar energy.
