The results of this study can be used by building owners, policy makers, industry, and utilities to identify the most economical applications of behind-the-meter solar-plus-storage
Technology cost and utility rate structure are key drivers of economic viability of solar and storage systems. This paper explores the economics of solar-plus-storage projects for commercial-scale, behind-the-meter applications. It provides insight into the near-term and future solar-plus-storage market opportunities across the U.S.
At the lowest technology cost point modeled, solar-plus-storage is economical in 10 of the 17 locations and in all of the 16 building types modeled. This suggests that the solar-plus-storage market will grow significantly if solar and storage costs continue to decline as expected in the future.
This suggests that, similar to falling technology costs, increasing utility rates will result in a larger number of solar-plus-storage systems, larger system sizes, and increased savings from each system. On average, savings were highest for projects that combined both solar and storage (see Fig. 13 ).
Near term markets exist for solar-plus-storage in locations such as California and New York. As technology prices drop, the number of building types that can benefit increase, and additional markets appear in Colorado, New Mexico, and Alaska.
Nottrot et al. optimized an idealized solar-plus-storage system to achieve a preset amount of load peak shaving and found that the system’s NPV decreased significantly with forecasting data ( Nottrott et al., 2013 ). Basing their model on 2011, they predicted lithium-ion batteries would be financially viable in the range of $400-500/kWh.
This work focuses on the emerging market for distributed solar PV paired with battery energy storage (“solar-plus-storage”) in commercial buildings across the United States.
