Notes

BESS = battery energy storage systems. “Demand” refers to shipments for inverters and deployment for solar PV modules and BESS. BESS manufacturing capacity refers to the production capacity of battery cells for stationary energy storage systems. Inverter demand excludes "off-grid" installations which, at a global level, account for around 3% of total demand.
