By 2030, global energy storage capacity may increase by 250 GWh and exceed 1,900 GWh, a 32.5-fold growth compared to a decade ago. On the road to a net zero future,
Globally, to integrate 60% variable renewable generation (of which 25% from solar PV) by 2050, average annual investments in grids, generation adequacy and some flexibility measures (storage) would need to rise by more than one-quarter to USD 374 billion/year, compared to investments made in electricity networks and battery storage in 2018 (USD 297
By 2030, global energy storage capacity may increase by 250 GWh and exceed 1,900 GWh, a 32.5-fold growth compared to a decade ago. On the road to a net zero future, governments must revise and streamline policies to avoid stifling progress. Technology maturity and market demand help the PV industry fuel the rise of the energy storage industry
The bottom line: the financial crisis, cheap natural gas, subsidy cuts by cash-strapped governments, and a flood of imports from Chinese solar-panel manufacturers have profoundly challenged the industry''s short-term performance. But they haven''t undermined its potential; indeed, global installations have continued to rise—by over 50 percent .

In real terms (i.e. excluding the impact of inflation), the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is expected to increase in most large solar PV and wind markets, excluding China. The higher cost of capital could offset most of the cost decreases resulting from lower commodity prices and further technology innovation in the next two years.
A significant portion of the increase came from China, which deployed around 250 GWdc of solar. Overall, analysts expect the industry to continue to grow, however the range of near-term growth projections is substantial. Notes: E = estimate; P = projection.
