Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid. These variations are attributable to changes in the amount of sunlight that shines onto photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems.

The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) ($/kWh) metric compares the true cost of owning and operating various storage assets. LCOS is the average price a unit of energy output would need to be sold at to cover all project costs (e.g., taxes, financing, operations and maintenance, and the cost to charge the storage system).

By introducing more flexibility into the grid, energy storage can help integrate more solar, wind and distributed energy resources. It can also improve the efficiency of the grid – increasing the capacity factor of existing resources – and offset the need for building new pollution-emitting peak power plants.
