Why do you need warranty insurance for your energy storage system?

Our warranty insurance solutions help to secure your sustainable business in the long run. Energy storage systems often involve the complex integration of multiple high-tech components. These are all prone to failure and malfunction, particularly over long periods of ten years and more.

Are battery storage insurance costs falling?

BESS is still a nascent technology, but the overall trend seems to be one of falling insurance costs for battery storage. This situation has arisen from a combination of improving loss experience and a growing understanding of the risk involved, according to specialist battery insurers Altelium .

How long do energy storage systems last?

Energy storage systems often involve the complex integration of multiple high-tech components. These are all prone to failure and malfunction, particularly over long periods of ten years and more. As a manufacturer and system integrator you have to provide your customers with warranties.

Why do we need reliable energy storage systems?

Renewables like wind and solar energy are intermittent by nature. To successfully master the energy transition, reliable energy storage systems are a must to provide the necessary supply stability.

What are some examples of energy storage systems?

For example, capacity per unit is not standardised, and is growing on the back of commercial pressures; gravity energy storage systems are now part of the mix, as well as lithium-ion and vanadium technology, and multiple use cases such as grid balancing and stability, or reactive power and load shifting, are common.

How big is battery storage capacity in the UK?

Globally, installed capacity needs to grow from 16 GW to 680 GW by 2030 , or growth of more than 40 times existing capacity, to meet the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) global energy roadmap. The UK’s battery storage capacity has grown to around 2 GW, and the capacity of individual installations has also grown in the last few years.
