Israeli government leads 800MW/3,200MWh BESS
More recently, last month the PUA implemented a supplementary tariff for distributed solar PV plants paired with energy storage, aiming to subsidise customers that shift stored solar energy for self-consumption at night-time periods and mitigate grid demand for energy at those times.
Storing renewable energy
Israel''s Augwind (see here previously) has signed an $8 million agreement with the Israel Electricity Corporation to build a 40-megawatt hours AirBattery (the world''s first) to store solar or wind energy as compressed air (see here also). See videos for details of the technology.

6 FAQs about [Israel storing solar energy at home]
How many solar-plus-storage projects are there in Israel?
As of September 2023, Israel has two solar-plus-storage projects, with the first being the Arad Valley 1's 17-MW solar farm with an energy storage system of 31 MWh, and the second being Sde Nitzan 's 23 MW of solar and 40 MWh of storage capacity project.
Does Israel need solar water heating?
As of the early 1990s, all new residential buildings were required by the government to install solar water-heating systems, and Israel's National Infrastructure Ministry estimates that solar panels for water-heating satisfy 4% of the country's total energy demand.
Why is Israel introducing a solar PV tariff?
The Electricity Authority of Israel has introduced a tariff for solar PV systems that are distributed and use energy storage in order to manage grid demand. The country aims to reach 30% renewable energy in the network by 2030 but struggled to meet its previous 10% target by 2020.
When did solar water heaters become mandatory in Israel?
After the energy crisis in the 1970s, in 1980 the Israeli Knesset passed a law requiring the installation of solar water heaters in all new homes except high towers with insufficient roof area. As a result, Israel was in 2007 the world leader in the use of solar energy per capita (3% of the primary national energy consumption).
How many solar water heaters are there in Israel?
There are over 1.3 million solar water heaters installed as a result of mandatory solar water heating regulations. Israeli engineers have been at the cutting edge of solar energy technology and its solar companies work on projects around the world.
Does solar water heating save oil in Israel?
The Ministry of National Infrastructures estimates solar water heating saves Israel 2 million barrels (320,000 m 3) of oil a year. On 2 June 2008, the Israeli Public Utility Authority approved a feed-in tariff for solar plants.
