The Growth and Challenges of Battery Storage
Battery storage has emerged as a significant asset class, presenting unique challenges for operators due to its complex electrochemical nature. Unlike solar panels, which generate electricity predictably during the day, batteries allow for active control over charging and discharging, requiring operators to make more informed decisions. The deployment of battery systems has expanded rapidly, yet many operators still struggle with safety and operational efficiency. Digital solutions are essential in addressing these challenges, as they can significantly enhance battery availability and revenue generation, similar to advancements seen in solar and wind technologies.
