What are the benchmarks for PV & energy storage systems?
The benchmarks are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to typical PV and energy storage system configurations and installation practices. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.
How much does a residential PV system cost?
Figure 9. Q1 U.S. benchmark: 7.9-kWdc residential PV system cost ( USD/Wdc) This section describes our commercial PV model’s structure and parameters in intrinsic units (Section 6.1) as well as its output (Section 6.2).
Which energy storage technologies are included in the cost and performance assessment?
The Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
How are benchmark PV operations & maintenance costs estimated?
Benchmark PV operations and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated using a model (Walker et al. ) that provides a line-item cost estimate of measures that correspond to the PV O&M services described in Best Practices for Operation and Maintenance of Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems, 3rd Edition (NREL et al. ).
How long does a commercial PV system last?
We model a 500-kWdc fixed-tilt, ground-mounted commercial PV system coupled to a 300-kWdc storage system, with 4 hours (1,200 kWh) of storage, using the same PV parameters we use with our standalone PV system and the same storage parameters we use with our standalone storage system, except for the effects of on-site coupling listed in Table 10.
What are the cost parameters for a commercial Li-ion energy storage system?
