The Best Energy Storage Companies 2022

Energy storage is essential for power grids, whatever energy source they use – renewable or conventional. Battery storage solutions allow consumers to cut expenses, increase flexibility and reliability, combine different power generating resources, and mitigate climate impact.

The fast-growing energy subsectors, such as EV and floating solar, have boosted the need for effective energy storage. As a result, there are many new battery manufacturers appearing as well as the existing ones adjusting to modern trends. A lot of conventional batt makers start shifting their production toward Li-ion batteries to meet the market demand.

Energy storage has become an important part of solar plants. Many large companies include storage systems in their solar projects.

Based on several important factors, we have collected the catalogue of the most attractive energy storage solution firms.
