History

Historical Context

Germany’s Energiewende, built on a 2000 feed-in tariff and an 80% renewable electricity goal for 2030, pushed PV capacity beyond 100 GW by 2025 and raised solar’s share to 15% in 2024. A 2015 DIW study warned that higher renewable shares increase the need for residential batteries and demand-side tools. Tesla and Sunrun aggregate hundreds of thousands of home batteries, leading PJM to expand back-stop programs.
