This blog post will explain the terminology around solar-plus-storage, how many solar-plus-storage systems are in the country, and what they cost.
Simply put, a solar-plus-storage system is a battery system that is charged by a connected solar system, such as a photovoltaic (PV) one. In an effort to track this trend, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) created a first-of-its-kind benchmark of U.S. utility-scale solar-plus-storage systems.
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 ).
The highest potential for savings was found in California, New York, New Mexico, and Alaska. Across all scenarios modeled, solar-plus-storage systems were most often cost-effective in San Francisco, Anaheim, and Los Angeles. These locations have both good solar resource and relatively high demand rates.
This work has grown to include cost models for solar-plus-storage systems. NREL's PV cost benchmarking work uses a bottom-up approach. First, analysts create a set of steps required for system installation.
