Market Insights – September 2025

YOUR SOURCE FOR NEWS, TRENDS AND EVENTS IN THE GLOBAL SOLAR & STORAGE INDUSTRY!

   
   

EUPD Research just launched its brand new EES Premium Report on the German storage market. According to the exclusive field data from the first half of 2025, 62% of installers expect that prices for storage systems will continue to decline. The major reasons behind that prediction were lessening demand (30%) and prices (36%). Other explanations cited by installers were regulations and labor costs.
