And solar PV takeover is accompanied by the timely meteoric rise of battery storage, which cumulative installed capacity likely overtook that of pumped hydro storage last year.
In the past three months, the International Energy Agency, the International Renewable Energy Agency, and BloombergNEF published preliminary data for the power sector in 2024. These data hammer the same powerful message: solar photovoltaic (PV) has become the new cornerstone of the global power sector.
Image: Hp.Baumeler, Wikimedia Commons Solar PV is experiencing unprecedented growth on a global scale. According to surveys by IRENA, IEA, GEM, WNA and GWEC, the total installed capacity of solar power in the world surpassed nuclear capacity in 2017, wind in 2022 and hydropower last year.
Among these alternatives, the integrated photovoltaic energy storage system, a novel energy solution combining solar energy harnessing and storage capabilities, garners significant attention compared to the traditional separated photovoltaic energy storage system.
As the penetration of variable renewable energy increases, curtailment of solar PV generation will only increase.
In this context, electricity generation from solar PV grew by a record 475 TWh (30%), the largest increase of all electricity generating technologies by far (Chart 1). In 2024, the growth in electricity generation from solar PV alone surpassed that of all other renewable energy (RE) technologies combined.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023.
