U.S. solar energy storage capacity has nearly doubled since 2017, reaching a historic high in the second quarter of 2026 with 165 gigawatt hours added, driven by commercial viability of storage technology and rising power demand from data centers despite reduced clean energy subsidies.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Solar battery storage is now commercially viable and growing fast in states across the political divide. If your startup supplies energy storage or supports data centre power needs, you have new customers ready to pay without subsidy dependence.
