Australian solar PV installers are focusing
more and more on energy storage systems, according to a new study by
German market researcher EuPD Research (Bonn).
41% of the participants of the "Australian
PV InstallerMonitor 2015/2016" already offer storage solutions to their
customers. A further 26% want to include energy storage in their
portfolio this year.
The installers who will not offer battery storage claim financial reasons (high prices and low margins) as the main obstacles.
According to the study, the Australian PV storage
market currently focuses on commercial systems. More than half (56%) of
the survey participants primarily install storage solutions in the
system size segment of 12kWh and more.
Only a small amount of the installers install
residential systems. Furthermore, nearly all installations (96%) from
the sample group has installed came in combination with a new PV system -
the retro-fit segment is virtually no factor at the moment.
