How to effectively procure energy storage in 2023 – pv magazine International
The effective procurement of energy storage is a real challenge today. Automobile buyers dominate demand for the lithium-ion market, and battery prices have started to rise for the first time. To make matters worse, not all battery manufacturers are the same – onboarding new suppliers can pose additional commercial and technical risks. In this pv magazine webinar, we offer a guide on how to manage these risks as an energy storage system buyer.
