Forecast Market Development
A strong market growth is expected until 2020. Until then the share of retrofit storage systems
becomes the most important market driver.

Development of the PV Storage Subsidy
•
The subsidies for PV storage systems are increasing constantly. However there is still 60
percent of the total subsidy budget available.

Market potential for residential storage batteries
In European comparison Germany is the most promising storage market. Yet Belgium and Italy
are showing high potential as well.

Importance of Features
•
Sales and profitability are given. For installers offering storage systems the price is not the key
buying factor. Technical reliability secured by good warranty conditions and service are
crucial.

Customer´s Point of View
•
Customers normally don’t ask for a quotation, therefore installers should offer quotations.

Major Obstacles
•
•
As expected: Economic reasons are the major obstacle for the end customers.
In addition potential customers don‘t have trust in technical maturity.
