Global Residential Energy Storage System (ESS) Market 2023-2030

Global Residential Energy Storage System (ESS) Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Technology Type (Li-Ion Batteries, Lead-Acid Batteries, and Other Technologies) Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global residential energy storage system (ESS) market is anticipated to grow at an exponential CAGR of 23.8% during the forecast period. Cohesive government policies that promote less centralized, more digitalized, and sustainable energy system plays a crucial role in driving the growth of the global residential ESS market. One significant contributor to this growth is the implementation of Solar Mandates coupled with storage. For instance, California’s solar mandate, which took effect in early 2020. It requires all residential buildings (up to three stories) to incorporate enough Photovoltaic (PV) systems to offset, on average, the annual energy demand of the household.

Under this policy, homeowners have the opportunity to trade obligatory PV ""credits"" through ""storage"" credits, further incentivizing the adoption of energy storage solutions. Additionally, integrated building renovations and efficiency standards are contributing factors to the market's expansion. For instance, Italy has combined a renovation stimulus with the option to deduct 110.0% of PV and storage costs from the annual tax bill. The residential battery storage sector is witnessing remarkable growth with high prospects, as indicated by Solar Power Europe's first European Market Outlook on Residential Battery Storage 2020–2024. The market saw an impressive 57.0% annual growth rate, with 96,000 systems installed, totaling 745 MWh last year.

Tax depreciation for storage installations is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities to the growth of the global residential ESS market. Italy, for instance, offers the option to deduct 50.0% (i.e. Euro 4,000) of the base value from the annual tax incidence, further encouraging investment in energy storage solutions. In the Netherlands, businesses are allowed to depreciate the investment over three years. Overall, these supportive policies and incentives are driving the global residential ESS market's expansion, making it a promising sector with considerable growth potential.

Segmental Outlook

The global residential ESS market is segmented based on technology type. Based on technology type, the market is segmented into Li-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and other technologies. Lithium-ion batteries to hold a major market share based on technology. Batteries play a crucial part in the energy storage systems and are responsible for major portion of the total cost of system, especially used in residential energy storage systems.

Regional Outlook

The global residential ESS market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). Among these, Europe is estimated to grow at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Battery storage for homes has become very popular in a number of European countries. In the leading markets, storage attachment to residential solar systems is over 90%.

That has several motivations, which can be all grouped under two main drivers: emotions and economics. In June 2023, Canadian Solar unveils its first residential energy storage system EP Cube, a self-designed-and-developed product by Eternal planet, at Intersolar Europe 2023, marking another milestone in the European market. EP Cube can automate power supply in outages, ensuring high-power electrical appliances operate normally even if the grid goes down. With EP Cube, homeowners will no longer worry about shortages and instability of electricity supply. Such developments are further contributing to the regional market growth.

Asia-Pacific is Projected to Have Considerable Share in the Global Residential ESS Market

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold a considerable market share in the global residential ESS market, driven by the renewable energy sector's growth in countries such as China, India, and Japan. Among these nations, China and India stand out in the solar panel industry. China, in particular, possesses substantial potential in both solar PV installations and solar PV panel production. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), China boasted the largest installed solar power capacity, surpassing 205 GW in 2019, which accounted for over 35.0% of global installations. Furthermore, China leads as the largest global manufacturer of solar PV equipment. The widespread adoption of solar panels in the country considerably contributes to the demand for residential ESS. These devices enable consumer to utilize solar power even during periods when the sun is not shining, enabling them to utilize more of their self-generated clean electricity when required. Therefore, the large-scale adoption of solar panels across the region is a key factor driving the regional market.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global residential ESS market include Tesla Inc., Panasonic Holdings Corp., Sonnen GmbH, VARTA AG, and Enphase Energy Inc. among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in June 2022, Toyota entered the energy storage market with the launch of the O-Uchi Kyuden System, a residential battery product. Toyota launched a rated output of 5.5 kWh and rated capacity of 8.7 kWh battery storage system, which uses the company’s electric vehicle battery technology. When connected to a photovoltaic rooftop system, the system can power a home day and night. Initially, the company aims to sell the storage system in Japan
