The battery storage market in Germany faces numerous challenges that require legislative clarification. Until the rules are clear, investors must live with considerable uncertainty, as discussed at the Battery Business Development Forum (BBDF) in Frankfurt.
Organized by pv magazine, Conexio PSE and SolarPower Europe, the event brought together more than 450 battery industry representatives on July 16. In two deep-dive sessions, expert speakers explored the market situation in Germany.
