Hybrid solar, which combines solar energy with storage or wind, is key to Europe’s energy transition. It supports system flexibility, improves the cost-effectiveness of an asset and makes energy generation more reliable.
Overall, large-scale storage accounts for a significant portion of the current BESS storage growth. However, there are still a few hurdles to be overcome, and growth isn’t where it should be.
In this episode, we will discuss the current state of the large-scale battery storage market with Antonio Arruebo from SolarPower Europe, focusing on the hybrid solar market, its prospects, and how to overcome the remaining roadblocks.
