en.Wedoany.com Reported - DNV predicts that by the mid-2030s, about half of new solar installations will be equipped with battery storage, compared to roughly 6.6% today; by 2049, the installed capacity of solar-plus-storage will grow a hundredfold. As this shift accelerates, digital systems for managing energy storage, dispatch, and trading are becoming as critical as the hardware itself.

With the increasing prevalence of solar-plus-storage projects, developers, operators, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) face growing operational challenges, including grid connection bottlenecks, stricter grid requirements, evolving electricity markets, and cybersecurity obligations.

To address these challenges, DNV's subsidiary GreenPowerMonitor (GPM) is expanding its digital energy management system (EMS) and hybrid EMS solutions for solar, storage, and hybrid renewable energy projects. The platform is designed to help developers and OEMs navigate an increasingly complex technical, commercial, and regulatory landscape, including cybersecurity requirements such as the EU NIS2 Directive. Supporting over 400 communication protocols, this digital solution integrates with SCADA systems and GPM's Horizon cloud monitoring platform. It is certified under IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 standards and offers 24/7 support, enabling optimization, control, and operation of renewable energy and hybrid assets.

"The surge in solar-plus-storage is inevitable, but only if the industry can address real-world bottlenecks such as grid access, cyber risks, and revenue uncertainty," said Juan Carlos Arévalo, Executive Vice President and Director of Digital and Data Solutions at DNV's Energy Systems division. "GPM combines proven EMS technology with DNV's independent assurance and grid code expertise, enabling OEMs and developers to scale while maintaining safety and compliance."

As investment in solar and storage grows, so does the demand for flexible energy management solutions. DNV's Energy Industry Insights 2026 found that 49% of Asia-Pacific respondents plan to increase storage investments, while markets such as Chile and Australia continue to rapidly expand deployments. Given that developers must navigate increasingly diverse grid codes, market structures, and regulations, GPM's hybrid architecture is designed to support these varied operating environments through a single platform.
