U.S. Solar Photovoltaic System and Energy Storage Cost Benchmarks, With Minimum Sustainable Price Analysis: Q1 2022

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) publishes benchmark reports that disaggregate photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage (battery) system installation costs to inform the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) R&D investment decisions. For this Q1 2022 report, NREL introduces new analyses that help distinguish underlying, long-term technology-cost trends from the cost impacts of short-term distortions caused by policy and market events.
