Graph of the day: The price of batteries for storing electricity is falling, which is driving greater use of solar energy

The article discusses the decreasing cost of batteries used for storing solar energy, which enhances the utilization of solar power. In 2025, battery capacity increased enough to shift approximately 14% of new solar production from day to evening and night. The article notes that producing electricity from solar and storing it in batteries has become cheaper than generating it from gas plants. Improved and more affordable batteries allow excess electricity to be stored during the day for use in the evening and night, significantly increasing usability. The price of batteries dropped sharply,降至

V roku 2025 pribudlo toľko batérií, že by dokázali presunúť zhruba 14 percent novej solárnej výroby z dňa na večer a noc.

V mnohých krajinách je už lacnejšie vyrábať elektrinu zo slnka a ukladať ju do batérií, než ju vyrábať v plynových elektrárňach.

Slnečná energia sa dnes využíva najmä vtedy, keď svieti slnko. Výkonnejšie a lacnejšie batérie však umožňujú ukladať prebytočnú elektrinu aj na večer a noc, čo výrazne zvyšuje jej využiteľnosť.

Pomáha tomu aj prudký pokles cien batérií. Vlani klesli na rekordne nízku úroveň približne 70 dolárov za kilowatthodinu, čo bol medziročný pokles o 45 percent, ukazuje Graf dňa z údajov inštitútu Ember. Novovybudovaná kapacita batériových úložísk vzrástla za päť rokov viac než 20-násobne na vlaňajších 247 gigawatthodín.
