Solar-plus-storage system architectures: Design, pricing and economics in the US
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
About the report
Solar-plus-storage will become one of the most common applications of power storage in the US. In 4 years, more than 50% of annual storage deployments are expected to be combined with solar. As systems designs evolve, the choice of system architecture will become an important consideration when developing solar-plus-storage projects.
This report is also available as part of our Energy Storage Service.
In this report, the system economics of front-of-the-meter AC-coupled and DC-coupled solar energy storage systems will be compared, and essential attributes that will drive each of these solar energy storage system architectures in both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter markets in the future will be defined.
