Just as PV systems can be installed in small-to-medium-sized installations to serve residential and commercial buildings, so too can energy storage systems—often in the form of lithium-ion batteries. NREL researchers study the benefits of such systems to property owners, their impact on the electric grid, and the effects on. . Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States Much of NREL's. . The Storage Futures Studyconsidered when and where a range of storage technologies are cost-competitive, depending on how they're operated and what services they provide. [pdf]
Another interesting energy storage ETF is GRID, which is focused on alternative energy infrastructure companies such as power management company Eaton Corp. (ETN), industrial conglomerate Johnson Controls International PLC (JCI), and electronics and automation pioneer Abb Ltd. (ABB).
With rapidly falling solar PV and battery energy storage costs (U.S. Energy Storage Monitor: Q3 2018 Full Report, 2018, U.S. Energy Storage Monitor: Q3 2018 Full Report, 2018), there is a growing interest in using behind-the-meter, grid-connected solar PV and energy storage systems for energy and demand savings.
Solar-plus-storage shifts some of the solar system's output to evening and night hours and provides other grid benefits. NREL employs a variety of analysis approaches to understand the factors that influence solar-plus-storage deployment and how solar-plus-storage will affect energy systems.
This work focuses on the emerging market for distributed solar PV paired with battery energy storage (“solar-plus-storage”) in commercial buildings across the United States.
Where systems were found to be economical, expected lifetime savings averaged between 7%–10%, with savings of 30% in numerous cases. Near term markets exist for solar-plus-storage in locations such as California and New York.
This research found that retail rates were the strongest driver of PV economic viability, more so than load profile or solar resource. Some work has also been done to optimize the size and savings of storage-only systems.

Renewables like solar are a significant means for Tonga to expand energy access, stabilize power grids as well as reduce pollution. Considering the shortage of solar expertise and finances for countries like Togan, the role of independent power producers and the practice of PPA provide solid support to smooth the way for solar deployment.

Tongan King Tupou VI was among the dignitaries who celebrated the official launching of the solar farm on the country’s main island - Tongatapu - this week. Kiwi company Sunergise NZ Ltd worked alongside Tonga Power Ltd to implement the 6 megawatt solar power plant as part of a power purchase agreement, with support form the Asian Development Bank.
This solar project was completed under the partnership between Sunergise New Zealand Limited and Tonga Power Limited with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Sunergise led the construction and meanwhile united local Tongan civil, mechanical and electrical sub-contractors to the team.
As Hu'akavameiliku, Prime Minister of Tonga said at the ceremony: "The successful completion of the Sunergise's 6MW Independent Power Producer solar generation system today, demonstrates the major role renewable energy independent power producers play towards achieving our 70% target by [the] end of [the] year 2025."
Tongan Prime Minister Hu’akavameiliku Siaosi Sovaleni, who was also at the launch, said the plant indicates the need for independent power - like solar energy - to achieve their National Energy Roadmap. There is an aim to have up to 70 per cent renewable energy use in Tongatapu by the end of 2025.
