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.

Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible. . Goals that aim for zero emissions are more complex and expensive than NetZero goals that use negative emissions technologies to achieve a. . The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and. . The intermittency of wind and solar generation and the goal of decarbonizing other sectors through electrification increase the benefit of. . Lithium-ion batteries are being widely deployed in vehicles, consumer electronics, and more recently, in electricity storage. [pdf]
