Additionally, the growing interest of industry companies toward renewable energy storage solutions is estimated to increase the investment opportunities during the timeframe. For instance, countries like Portugal and the UK encourage capacity auctions for solar battery storage rather than conventional energy storage systems. Such developments will increase market growth. However, the initial installation charge is high, which is not affordable for small & medium-sized enterprises. At the current stage, the financing of solar projects requires selling assets to aggregators to preserve sufficient liquid capital to develop the next project and cover operational overhead. Such factors may bring a negative impact on market growth.
Global Solar Battery Market Dynamics
Drivers: Growing interest toward renewable energy storage solutions
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the demand for renewable energy has increased since 2015. For instance, the annual solar PV capacity in 2017 reached 100 GW, showing an increase of 31% from 2016. The increased demand for PV technology is attributed to the need for sustainable energy resources, reduction in dependency on conventional fuels, and minimized carbon emission. According to the International Energy Agency, a France-based energy policy advisor, Solar PV has registered a growth rate of 22% in 2019 among all other forms of renewable energy sources, such as wind and hydro energy, owing to rise in demand for energy from developing countries, such as India, China, and Thailand, across the Asia-Pacific region.
In addition, the implementation of stringent government rules to reduce carbon emissions produced due to the usage of conventional fuels has led to an increase in the adoption of photovoltaic technology for electricity generation. The demand for solar energy is anticipated to grow with the rising demand for renewable energy. Therefore, the market demand for solar battery is expected to increase in the future.
Restraints: High initial installation cost
Solar batteries are usually costly, which is a threat to the market. These batteries, used in off-the-grid solar systems, can be charged during the day so that the energy is used at night. However, energy demand is usually higher during the day, and there is a need for installation and proper storage of solar energy. The cost of energy storage is relatively high and can quickly increase the cost of solar PV systems substantially. So, the installation of an energy storage system depends on the consumption tariff rate.

Opportunities: Advancements in energy backup systems
Lack of solar radiation and foggy weather can impact the efficiency of solar storage. However, the backup system as a solar collector aids in additional storage of solar heat during cloudy or foggy weather. It maintains the same performance as a solar battery, even on cloudy days and foggy weather. Therefore, such advancements are expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth.

Based on type, the global solar battery market has been divided into four segments lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow battery, others. In 2020, the lithium-ion segment accounted for the largest market share of 79.3% in the global solar battery market. The lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery consisting of lithium ions moving from the negative to the positive electrode. These are majorly used for portable electronics, battery electric vehicles, and energy storage. The efficiency of lithium-ion battery is around 90-95%, which is higher than that of lead-acid type batteries. Some of the major players offering lithium-ion batteries for solar energy storage include Tesla, LG Chem, and CATL. Generally, lithium-ion battery is preferred over other types of batteries, owing to its low weight (50-60% less weight than lead-acid equivalent). The growing prominence of sustainable energy solutions is expected to surge the demand for the lithium-ion solar battery. Moreover, the energy density and efficiency of lithium-ion battery is very high than that of other solar batteries. Generally, the efficiency of the lead-acid battery can be up to 85%, whereas, for lithium-ion, it can be up to 95%. It is usually effective to generate maximum power for commercial and industrial applications.
