PVMars lists the costs of 1mwh-3mwh energy storage system (ESS) with solar here (lithium battery design). The price unit is each watt/hour, total price is calculated as: 0.2 US$ * 2000,000 Wh = 400,000 US$. When solar modules
In commercial/industrial and utility microgrids, soft costs (43% and 24%, respectively) represent significant portion of the total costs per megawatt. Finally, energy storage contributes significantly to the total cost of commercial and community microgrids, which have percentages of 25% and 15%, respectively, of the total costs per megawatt.
Several factors, including generation choice, battery size, and interconnection upgrades, influence the cost of microgrids. However, there are ways to manage these factors to ensure microgrid projects can move forward with satisfied customers, as discussed in the Microgrid 2021 conference session called “Why Does a Microgrid Cost What It Costs?”
With solar prices below 20 cents/W and lithium-ion batteries under $200/kWh, it is possible for microgrids to cost effectively deliver energy in the countries where Husk operates, according to Sinha. However, Sinha noted that microgrids are not yet appealing to banks.
According to Nordman, the future of Microgrid technology lies in making it more modular, widespread, and inexpensive so that people could potentially purchase generation or storage systems and bring them home to use.
Government incentives are becoming available in the microgrid segment in emerging economies but the cost of delivered energy is ultimately what will make microgrids a bankable financial asset. (Quote from Sinha)
According to Nordman, a single-customer microgrid is a better approach for distributed energy resource management systems. He suggests starting small and then scaling up to multicustomer microgrids when the technology becomes more sophisticated.
