wiadomości o firmie Global Solar Council Launches World's First Trade Association for Battery Storage

Washington, D.C. / New York — September 2025 — The Global Solar Council (GSC) officially expanded its mandate to become the world’s first global trade association for battery energy storage, signaling a shift from solar-only advocacy toward broader leadership in the integrated solar + storage industry.

Key Highlights

• The announcement occurred during New York Climate Week and the 80th United Nations General Assembly, coinciding with the release of GSC’s “Connecting the Sun” report.
• GSC’s new role is to promote battery manufacturing, deployment, recycling, and advanced technologies (e.g. grid-forming inverters), and to push for national storage strategies and reward grid flexibility services.
• The organization aims to “de-risk” solar + storage investment in developing markets, and to advocate for better regulatory and market frameworks around the world.

This move fills a long-standing gap: despite explosive growth in energy storage, no global body had represented the battery side of the clean energy value chain. With GSC now covering both solar and battery storage, the hope is for more unified coordination, stronger advocacy, and faster implementation of integrated solutions globally.
