On the supplier side the analysts see BYD Battery-Box as the leading brand with the highest market share. BYD Co.

The market analysis shows that BYD holds the largest market share with its Battery-Box solution series both in number of installed systems as well as with regards to installed capacity.

Successful track record

To date BYD has more than 250,000 Battery-Box systems installed globally. In the seven years since the launch of the first Battery-Box system, that product series has not only won several awards for its high efficiency[i], it has also proven itself to be one of the safest systems on the market – without a single fire or safety incident being recorded.

“We have been concentrating on our core expertise and longstanding experience «The Battery» from the beginning”, explains Julia Chen, Global Director, BYD Battery-Box. “This provides two major advantages. On the one hand we own and control the whole production process – from raw material sourcing to the final product. This way we can ensure the quality and highest security standards for the systems. On the other hand, the focus on the battery and the open system allows installers and end-customers the highest possible flexibility when it comes to the combination with the best suited and most efficient system combination with quality inverters.”

The advantages of an extremely flexible and adaptable design of a modular storage system are apparent: installers don’t need to familiarize themselves with multiple solutions, safe time and investments with regards to trainings and certifications, and can address a wide variety of customer demands with one system series.
