Residential vs C&I split and implications

Feb 2025 · Sources: Bundesnetzagentur MaStR · Methodology: see here

By installation count, residential storage dominates (~65%). By capacity, grid-scale and C&I play a larger role. The split has implications for grid planning, market structure, and investment focus.

Storage by segment — count (installations) — MaStR
Residential
~65%
C&I
~25%
Grid-scale
~10%
Storage by segment — capacity (MW) — MaStR
Grid-scale
~55%
C&I
~32%
Residential
~13%

Residential growth is driven by PV+storage coupling and subsidies. C&I and grid-scale are growing faster in absolute capacity terms. For grid planners, the geographic distribution of residential vs grid-scale matters for local vs transmission-level impacts.

Methodology note

Segments derived from MaStR capacity bands and use-case fields. Residential: typically <30 kWh; C&I: 30 kWh–1 MW; grid-scale: >1 MW. See full methodology.
