The delivery volume for Europe of the BYD Battery-Box amounts to a total of one gigawatt hour (GWh) of battery capacity in 2021 and has doubled compared to 2020. In addition, the Battery-Box product series achieved a new efficiency record and proved to be one of the most popular and most reliable solutions across the globe.
Overall BYD saw a strong growth across the European market with Germany in the lead followed by Italy, Austria and Switzerland. More than 100,000 systems, especially the high-voltage models Battery-Box Premium HVS/HVM for the residential market, were delivered to European customers. In a survey, installers also ranked the Battery-Box series as their top choice in 2021. Europe is a very important market for BYD.
Proven reliability across the globe
In addition to the strong growth in Europe the company also saw a strong business year in APAC, Africa and the Americas. The Battery-Box proved to be one of the most popular energy storage systems across the globe, and installations from the Arctic circle to central Africa demonstrated that the Battery-Box runs reliably under even the most extreme conditions, making it not only the top choice for European homes but also for implementation at hospitals and for humanitarian projects in remote locations.
With more than 200,000 installed systems running across the globe, the Battery-Box managed to prove that with the right storage system, renewable energy can service as one of the most reliable energy options for on- and off-grid applications including emergency energy supply and backup energy.
New efficiency record
The modular Battery-Box system established itself on the market due to the high reliability, flexibility, and easy installation. In 2021 the BYD Battery-Box Premium in combination with equally efficient inverter solutions by partners, achieved top positions in the annual System Performance Index (SPI) ranking executed by the Berlin University for Technology and Economy (HTW). The BYD Battery-Box was the only system to achieve a class “A” rating in both systems categories of 5kWp and 10kWp. With the new Battery-Box Premium the system efficiency of 94,6% for the 10kWp model and 92,2% for the 5kWp model could also be increased again, compared to the results from last year. (mfo)
