The large pool of installed PV systems is a pillar for the development of the energy storage systems market.</span></p> </div><p class="align--justify MsoNormal"><span lang="en-US">Germany was the leading market for residential battery storage systems in 2021. Around 150,000 home batteries were installed, resulting in 1.3 GWh of additional capacity. In 2022, the home storage systems (HSS) market recorded annual battery-energy growth of 52 percent, making it the largest stationary storage market in the country. </span></p><p class="align--justify MsoNormal"><span lang="en-US">The emerging market for industrial storage systems (ISS) grew by 24 percent in 2022, with a total of 1,200 ISS (0.08 GWh/0.04 GW) installed. </span></p><p class="align--justify MsoNormal"><span lang="en-US">The market for large-scale storage systems (LSS) increased dramatically by 910 percent with 47 LSS (0.47 GWh/0.43 GW) commissioned. Market analyst SolarPower Europe expects annual installations to reach 2.6 GWh in 2026 - about twice as much as in 2021. </span></p><p class="align--justify MsoNormal"><span lang="en-US">The very high attachment rate between batteries and residential solar - estimated in the range of 80 percent - shows that R-BESS will become almost part of a standard solar system in Germany. This will ensure stable market expansion as long as the home rooftop market continues to grow. Retrofit storage installations will also be a major driver for improving energy self-sufficiency in private households and commercial operations.</span></p><p class="align--justify MsoNormal"><span lang="en-US">The inverter market continues to profit from the large base of existing PV installations as well as new inverter systems (such as hybrid and micro inverters for new PV systems). Innovative data management systems and new tools for optimizing PV systems efficiency and operations are other promising fields within the German PV market.</span></p> <div class="add-to-bookmarks"> <a href="" class="add-to-bookmarks__link" title="">Add to dossier</a> <button class="button" data-tooltip="Log in and add this element to a dossier.

Innovative PV sales strategies, system configurations and integration processes - including storage and demand management - are intrinsic components of the specialist expertise being developed in Germany.</span></p><p class="align--justify MsoNormal"><span lang="en-US">International companies wishing to sell photovoltaic products in the European Union must fulfill established quality and safety requirements. In Germany, solar photovoltaic modules are certified according to European Norm (EN) standards. Manufacturers must comply with the ''safety class II'' norms that certify the electrical safety of photovoltaic modules. The certifications for design qualification and type approval (EN 61215 and EN 61464) have become an industry essential, although they are not required by law.</span></p><p>Quality marks remain optional for PV-storage systems (excluding the CE certificate). However, battery customers value products that comply with specific safety guidelines such as the “Safety Guideline for Li-Ion Home Storage Systems" developed by the German Energy Storage Association and its partners.</p> </div> </div><div id="74748" class="teaserbox" data-role="basic-teaser"> <h2 >Photovoltaic Infrastructure in Germany</h2> <div class="teaserbox__content" data-role="basic-teaser-content" > <div class="kurztext" > <p>The complementary SME landscape in all PV technologies offers broad partnership opportunities with established German manufacturers.</p> </div><p class="align--justify MsoNormal"><span lang="en-US">Continued optimization of production technologies and processes is made possible through close cooperation with excellent R&D institutions, universities, and leading material and equipment suppliers.
