Berlin solar Energy Storage BESS Branch

Should solar and battery storage be co-located in Germany?

The case for co-locating solar and battery storage is gaining fresh momentum in Germany. The value drivers are familiar — shared infrastructure, optimised grid usage, stacked revenues. But historically, co-located projects have struggled to scale, constrained by regulation and commercial complexity.

How many battery projects are coming to Germany by 2027?

Energy storage provider Return has partnered with Berlin-based Bessmart to develop and connect four battery storage plants in Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, and Saxony.
