The numbers are in and they are impressive, with an estimated 32,500 on-grid and off-grid energy storage systems installed in Australia up to the end of 2016, and a further 20,000 energy storage systems installed in 2017. But it’s the tip of the iceberg: a high growth scenario puts energy storage systems at 450,000 by 2020, with the combination of residential and commercial energy storage delivering 3 GWh of distributed storage. And it’s a jobs bonanza, up to 35,000 Australians could be working in the energy storage industry by 2020.
