FAQS 4

How much does battery storage cost?

For battery storage, we applied a power ratio of 0.4 (2.5-hour duration) and a lifetime of 15 years. The battery storage cost structure was simplified to a fixed cost of US$1,633 for PII, a variable cost of US$856.24 kWh −1 proportional to capacity and an O&M cost of US$20.8 kWh −1 yr −1.

Do US households benefit from solar PV & battery storage under NBT?

Our findings show that a majority of US households stand to benefit from solar PV and battery storage under NBT, with 60.3% potentially reducing their electricity costs and 62.7% achieving affordable back-up power.

Can a household save money on electricity costs?

We find that 60% of households could reduce electricity costs with average savings of 15%, whereas 63% of households could achieve affordable back-up power during power outages covering an average of 51% of their essential energy needs.

What is the economic viability of solar-battery systems?

The economic viability of solar–battery systems is characterized by whether, and to what extent, a household can reduce its overall electricity costs through the installation of solar PV, battery storage or both technologies in combination.
