A new interactive platform delivers real-time clean energy storage insights as Europe shifts toward sustainable energy sources. Energy storage helps to balance supply and demand. The European Energy Storage Inventory is the first of its kind at European level to show all forms of clean energy storage solutions.

Who is Solarpower Europe?

Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe (she/her) said: “SolarPower Europe has represented the full European solar value chain for 40 years. From 50 MW of solar globally in 1985, to 350 GW alone in the EU last year, we are so proud to be powering the equivalent of 75 million EU households today.

How does solar power affect battery storage in the EU?

Years of strong solar growth and high gas prices have increased electricity price volatility across the EU, strengthening opportunities for battery storage. In turn, batteries can increase power demand at peak solar times, supporting solar revenues.

Will smart solar buildings meet Europe's energy security needs by 2030?

Our modelling shows, that by 2030, smart solar building solutions could meet more than half of EU daily energy system flexibility needs, and a third of its annual flexibility needs. That means a more cost-effective system, resilient to shocks and strengthening Europe’s energy security.

Does Europe need solar in winter?

With its northerly latitude, winter solar availability in Europe is poor. In winter, a decarbonized Europe will rely mostly on solar energy generated in the south and wind energy in the north. Large-scale long-duration energy storage is needed to ride through days or even weeks of poor solar and wind availability.
