pv-magazine - Battery storage 2026: From boom to infrastructure

In his latest guest article for PV Magazine, our co-founder and CFO Thomas Antonioli analyses the fundamental transformation of the storage market in 2026, highlighting why the sector has finally left the status of a niche:

‍

• From trend to foundation: Battery storage systems are now much more than just an addition — they have established themselves as a system-critical infrastructure for grid stability.
  ‍
• Professionalization & scaling: The focus is shifting from short-term returns to large-scale solutions and technologies such as grid-forming inverters, which form the backbone of our supply security.
  ‍
• Systemic relevance: Thanks to regulatory progress, storage systems now act as equal partners in the energy market — from frequency control to intelligent load management.
  ‍
• Future outlook: 2026 is the decisive year for the players who are shaping the long-term infrastructure for a climate-neutral Europe.
