Analyst Insight: Distributed Solar Plus Energy Storage Systems Price Trends

Global DER Deployment Insights

Intermittent renewable energy generation technologies such as solar PV and wind have surged to capture a record share of global electricity generation. When coupled with such intermittent renewables, distributed energy storage systems (DESSs) can capture energy for use when it is most needed or more valuable.

DESSs are a class of energy storage technologies positioned on the customer side of the meter, or behind the meter. Within this market segment, projects aim to provide small-scale energy storage for either residential or commercial and industrial facilities, with battery energy storage systems (BESSs) being the most prevalent technology used. Lithium ion batteries are the leading type of battery for new BESS projects, which include a growing number of large-scale solar plus storage projects that use long-duration energy storage with a discharge duration of 4 hours or more.

Leveraging available Guidehouse Insights market forecasts and secondary literature, this report explores price trends for distributed solar plus storage systems, with a particular focus on the North American market.
