Los Angeles, August 14, 2024 — As solar technology advances and policy support intensifies, California’s solar market is undergoing a transformative shift. According to the latest monthly report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the proportion of California solar users integrating battery storage systems has surged from 20% to over 50% within just six months. This significant increase is largely attributed to the implementation of the Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0 policy, which has effectively incentivized users to invest in storage systems by reducing the cost of feeding solar power back into the grid.
The Far-Reaching Impact of NEM 3.0
The NEM 3.0 policy not only has driven the adoption of storage systems but has also reshaped the demand structure within the photovoltaic market. As storage systems become more integrated, the demand for photovoltaic cables, a crucial component of solar systems responsible for power transmission and management, has surged. These cables are essential for the efficient operation and long-term stability of solar systems.
New Opportunities in the PV Cable Market
From October 2023 to April 2024, California added over 40,000 “solar + battery” systems, equating to 232 megawatts of new battery storage capacity. Despite the increased overall installation costs due to the NEM 3.0 policy, which led to a slight decline in solar installations in the first quarter of 2024, the photovoltaic cable market continues to exhibit strong growth potential.
