Background

The "behind the meter" market for customer-sited energy storage is growing with the rising costs of peak energy, the expanding prevalence of micro grids and with the increasing competitiveness and operational flexibility of lithium-ion batteries. Energy storage has been called the "Holy Grail" of the grid and Sunwave is bringing storage solutions to market in packages that support commercial, industrial and residential applications.

A recent GTM Research report on the energy storage market confirmed the dominance of lithium-ion technology in the deployment of energy storage systems (70% of 2014 deployments based on capacity). This same report estimates a nine-fold growth in the energy storage market by 2019 with the fastest growing sub segment being "behind the meter" installations. Installed capacity for 2015 is expected to double the combined total of 2013 and 2014.
