Residential installation of battery storage charged to an all-time high of 346 MW in the third quarter, according to the latest U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report by the American Clean Power Association and research firm Wood Mackenzie.
Residential adoption of energy storage for the three months ending October 31 trended 63% higher than the previous quarter. Residential energy storage helps customers achieve at-home resiliency by helping smooth out the intermittency of rooftop solar.
California, Arizona and North Carolina led the upward move of residential energy storage, according to the Monitor report.
Community, commercial and industrial battery storage installation was steady if not elevated. C&I and community energy storage deployment totaled 29 MW, only 4% less than the same quarter in 2023, the report summary showed.
Solar and storage are utilized as key assets in the decarbonization of microgrids and on-site power, in general. Overall, throughout the U.S. the energy storage market set a new quarterly record with more than 3.4 GW (3,431 MW) and 9,188 MWh in capacity deployed, the report by ACP and Wood Mackenzie indicated.
Texas installed 1.7 GW in battery storage, triple the pace of the previous quarter.
