Lithium-ion batteries are still the foundation of renewable energy storage solutions in 2025. Two chemistries lead the market: nickel manganese cobalt (NCM) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP).
It is Massachusetts' first all-electric building greater than four stories with a city-permitted solar+storage system, demonstrating how a battery energy storage system can be code-compliant while negating the previously unavoidable need for a diesel generator.
In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland is currently under construction, with a total capacity of 65 megawatt-hours. The successful delivery of all system components marks a key milestone on the path to commissioning.
These trends include AI integration, grid-scale storage, alternative battery chemistries, circular economy models, and more. Executive Summary: What are the Top 10 Energy Storage Trends in 2026 & Beyond?.
Researchers in Australia have created a new kind of water-based “flow battery” that could transform how households store rooftop solar energy. The system could outperform expensive lithium-ion.
They last longer, charge faster and require little to no maintenance, making them ideal for homes, farms and commercial sites across New Zealand. For properties in rural areas or places with frequent network issues, a battery also provides a reliable layer of security.
Domi Eko Solar has started to manufacture photovoltaic panels in its plant near Velika Plana in central Serbia. It is the first PV panel production unit in the country.
