Almost half of all global solar capacity will be co-located with storage by 2060, compared to around 2% today, a new report published by DNV predicts. The Energy Transition Outlook 2025 report says that solar power will account for 47% of electricity generation worldwide by 2060, increasing fivefold from 2024.
Solar energy storage refers to systems that capture and store solar energy for later use, including methods such as sensible heat storage, phase change storage, and chemical storage, which can be utilized for both short and long-term energy retention. How useful is this definition? You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic.
Looking ahead, global installations are set to climb to 123 GW or 360 GWh in 2026, representing a 33 percent year-on-year increase. Between 2025 and 2035, cumulative energy storage installations are projected to add 1.9 TW or 6.9 TWh of new capacity, alongside 8.7 TW of new solar and 2.0 TW of new wind.
Energy storage solutions are crucial to unlocking the full value of PV systems, as they address the inherent variability of solar energy generation. While solar panels generate electricity during the day, ESS addresses the variability by storing surplus energy for use during cloudy periods or at night.
