There has been growing interest in using energy storage to capture solar energy for later use in the home to reduce reliance on the traditional utility. However, few studies have critically assessed the trade-offs associated with storing solar energy rather than sending it to the utility grid, as is typically done today.
Although, this system has achieved the prominent electrochemical storage of solar energy, the chemical fuel conversion of solar energy also exists. Thus, the solar energy storage in the closed Li-S battery will be an important research direction in the future. Fig. 7.
This would place residential solar+storage at an estimated US$0.11–0.12 kWh −1 target. Based on a ten-year project lifetime, and in the optimal case assuming a full charge–discharge cycle on a daily basis ignoring losses, LCOE at current prices is US$0.15 kWh −1 at residential scale and US$0.10 kWh −1 at utility scale.
In general, using storage to increase solar self-consumption provides a financial benefit when the consumption tariff is higher than the feed-in tariff. The maximum present value that could be realized in Texas is US$95 kWh −1 of storage capacity. If Texans were exposed to Maui’s electric rates, the maximum would increase to US$287 kWh −1.
However, few studies have critically assessed the trade-offs associated with storing solar energy rather than sending it to the utility grid, as is typically done today. Here we show that a typical battery system could reduce peak power demand by 8–32% and reduce peak power injections by 5–42%, depending on how it operates.
Despite the fact that energy storage is rarely required to integrate rooftop solar panels, there is significant interest in capturing on-site solar generation to minimize reliance on the electricity utility and injections of solar energy to the grid.
