Battery storage in the upswing: Almost 1.8 million households rely on solar!

The fascination for battery storage in German households is increasing rapidly! In 2023, around 594,000 new home memory have already been installed, and the estimates for 2024 amount to another 580,000 devices, reports the Wiener . This impressive increase is primarily explained by the significantly sunken prices in the past ten years, which have fallen by astonishing 75 percent. The general manager of the Federal Association of Solar Industry, Carsten Körnig, notes that 80 to 90 percent of all new solar power plants are now equipped with a memory. "Hardly a solar system is installed without storage," he notes.

A special highlight is the increasing connection to e-mobility that attracts many households. Beatrice Schulz from the Federal Association of Energy Saving Systems explains that charging an electric car with a solar power from your own roof is unbeatable. With a memory, e-cars can even be loaded at night, which optimizes use. The trend towards larger storage capacities becomes clear because consumers are willing to issue up to 8,000 euros for a storage system, as the study "Scientific measurement and evaluation program solar power storage 2.0" shows. This willingness to invest, leads to more and more users to choose more powerful systems that enable higher self -sufficiency.

use and technology in focus

Commissioning of saving enables households to use up to 80 percent of the solar power generated, which is only 20 percent without storage. The Federal Association of Energy Sealing Systems emphasizes the advantages of battery storage that not only reduce electricity costs, but also contribute to relieving the networks. Thanks to innovative energy operating systems, households can also save electricity at night and use it at a later date. This development shows that both energy suppliers and Eon and service providers and Enpal have recognized the high demand for storage systems. "We are now selling more than 90 percent of our photovoltaic systems with battery storage," says an Eon spokesman. This illustrates the unchecked trend towards intelligent energy management in modern budgets.
