The cost of battery storage is decreasing, enabling greater adoption of solar energy. In 2025, newly added battery capacity is projected to shift approximately 14 percent of new solar generation from daytime to evening and nighttime use. In numerous countries, solar power coupled with battery storage is now more cost-effective than electricity generated by gas-fired power plants. Currently, solar energy production is limited to daylight hours. However, more powerful and affordable batteries are facilitating the storage of surplus electricity, addressing intermittency challenges. This trend suggests a significant shift towards increased reliance on renewable energy sources and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. The declining costs are a key driver in making solar a viable baseload power option.
