EUPD Research Presents Insights on European and German PV Storage Market Trends at The Smarter E Europe Exhibition 2025

Saif Islam, a senior consultant at EUPD Research, and Ali Arfa, the data manager, presented insights into the European and German storage markets. They discussed secondary market data on PV installations from 2022 to 2024 in Europe. The presentation highlighted significant growth in annual PV installations from around 30 gigawatts per year to approximately 64-65 gigawatts by 2024. This indicates an S-curve trend suggesting market stabilization after exponential growth phases seen previously. The discussion also covered segmental balancing or shifts within different segments of energy storage—residential (up to 20 kilowatts), commercial/industrial (CNI), and utility-scale projects (>5 megawatts). While residential demand remains strong in Germany, CNI is gaining traction across Europe with Italy showing notable developments due to large-scale project tenders. Ali noted geopolitical factors affecting lithium-ion battery prices could influence future trends alongside recent blackouts raising concerns about energy security. Saif shared findings from their "PV Installer Monitor" survey revealing that most installers already offer integrated solutions like charging stations combined with smart home technologies despite varying expectations for business growth tied closely now more than ever between PV systems and storage capabilities amidst rising electric vehicle demands.
