In the context of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), MW (megawatts) and MWh (megawatt-hours) are two crucial specifications that describe different aspects of the system''s performance.
A 2 MW (Megawatt) solar power plant generates approximately 8,000 units (kWh) per day under ideal sunlight conditions in India, or about 24,00,000–28,00,000 units per year, depending on
Solar battery storage prices in Australia range from $800 to $2000 per kWh, depending on energy capacity, installation costs, and additional features like blackout protection.

**Battery Cost**: The battery is the core component of the energy storage system, and its cost accounts for a significant portion of the total cost. As of 2024, the cost of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, has been declining. On average, the cost of lithium-ion battery cells can range from $0.3 to $0.5 per watt-hour.
In total, the cost of a 2MW battery storage system can range from approximately $1 million to $1.5 million or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. It is important to note that these are only rough estimates, and the actual cost can vary depending on the specific requirements and characteristics of each project.
There is no national register of energy storage systems in Australia, making it difficult to estimate the number of energy storage systems. This analysis is based on existing Clean Energy Regulator data, a national survey by the Smart Energy Council, interviews with energy market participants and a comprehensive literature review.
The cost of the BMS can account for about 5% to 10% of the total battery storage system cost. For a 2MW system, if we assume a BMS cost ratio of 8%, and the total system cost excluding the BMS is $800,000 (as calculated for the battery cost above), then the cost of the BMS would be $800,000 * 0.08 = $64,000.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates that by 2020, solar batteries will be the dominant form of battery storage. Analysis by the Smart Energy Council from the survey and interviews with market participants for this report suggests battery manufacturing costs are likely to fall in Australia by around 15% each year to 2020.
As noted in this report, there are likely to be 150,000 to 450,000 battery storage systems installed in Australia by 2020. If the high growth scenario eventuates, the Finkel Review will be seen to have significantly underestimated the uptake of battery storage.
