Around the beginning of this year, BloombergNEF (BNEF) released its annual Battery Storage System Cost Survey, which found that global average turnkey energy storage system prices had fallen 40% from 2023 numbers to US$165/kWh in 2024.
However, with the recent crash in lithium prices, battery costs have started to decline again. In 2023, the average price of a lithium-ion battery pack was $139 per kWh, and it’s expected to fall even further, potentially reaching $78 per kWh by the end of 2024, as the market continues to be oversupplied.
The price of lithium-ion batteries, the essential power source behind electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems, is steadily dropping—and it shows no signs of stopping. This ongoing price decline is largely driven by a combination of oversupply in battery metals and a recent slowdown in electric vehicle adoption.
Still, Kikuma says that other research BNEF has undertaken shows that the cost of US-made batteries or energy storage systems will still be in a much more expensive price range than the imports.
On a regional basis, average battery pack prices were lowest in China, at $94/kWh. Packs in the US and Europe were 31% and 48% higher, reflecting the relative immaturity of these markets, as well as higher production costs and lower volumes.
Companies in China faced fierce competition this year. These conditions resulted in falling battery prices and lower battery margins, forcing many battery manufacturers to enter new markets, including energy storage, while also eyeing overseas markets willing to pay more for batteries. The industry has also benefitted from low raw material prices.
The global solar folding container and energy storage container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with portable and outdoor power demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Solar folding container solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new portable solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by emergency response needs and outdoor industry demand. Europe follows with 40% market share, where energy storage containers have provided reliable electricity for off-grid applications and remote operations. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 60% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing solar folding container system prices by 30% annually. Emerging markets are adopting solar folding containers for disaster relief, outdoor events, and remote power, with typical payback periods of 1-3 years. Modern solar folding container installations now feature integrated systems with 15kW to 100kW capacity at costs below $1.80 per watt for complete portable energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving outdoor power generation systems and off-grid energy storage performance while reducing operational costs for various applications. Next-generation solar folding containers have increased efficiency from 75% to over 95% in the past decade, while battery storage costs have decreased by 80% since 2010. Advanced energy management systems now optimize power distribution and load management across outdoor power systems, increasing operational efficiency by 40% compared to traditional generator systems. Smart monitoring systems provide real-time performance data and remote control capabilities, reducing operational costs by 50%. Battery storage integration allows outdoor power solutions to provide 24/7 reliable power and load optimization, increasing energy availability by 85-98%. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with solar folding container projects typically achieving payback in 1-2 years and energy storage containers in 2-3 years depending on usage patterns and fuel cost savings. Recent pricing trends show standard solar folding containers (15kW-50kW) starting at $25,000 and large energy storage containers (100kWh-1MWh) from $50,000, with flexible financing options including rental agreements and power purchase arrangements available.
