In order to evaluate the financial feasibility of integrating energy storage systems with solar PV system in detached houses, economic indicators able to compare the costs of the different storage scenarios with one another are needed.
While the costs of all energy storage systems remain too high to be considered financially attractive without further support mechanisms, LIB storage is clearly the best storage alternative in all scenarios with a LCC 1000–7500 € higher and a LCOE 0.005–0.04 €/kWh higher than the costs of a 13.5 kW stand-alone solar PV system.
Hence, the optimal capacity of all the energy storage systems is zero, whereas the feasible solar PV size is limited to below 20 % when using the 2019 electricity prices as comparison.
For the battery storage system, a 90 % round-trip efficiency was used, representing the use of a generic LIB , . For the H 2 energy storage system, a 30 % round-trip efficiency was used, a value that could also be lower for small-scale energy storage applications.
Solar PV systems without selling surplus electricity to the grid were profitable up to a renewable fraction of 10 % with 2019 market prices and up to 35 % with the 2021 unusually high market prices.
While LIB storage clearly remains the most feasible energy storage technology with a LCOS of 3–5 times higher than the LCOE of grid electricity, the LCOS of the discharged energy from the H 2 storage and TES system is between 5 and 20 times higher than that of grid electricity.

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
Investing in research and development for better energy storage technologies is essential to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, reduce emissions, and create a more resilient energy system. Energy storage technologies will be crucial in building a safe energy future if the correct investments are made.
Energy storage technologies have the potential to reduce energy waste, ensure reliable energy access, and build a more balanced energy system. Over the last few decades, advancements in efficiency, cost, and capacity have made electrical and mechanical energy storage devices more affordable and accessible.
Enhancing the lifespan and power output of energy storage systems should be the main emphasis of research. The focus of current energy storage system trends is on enhancing current technologies to boost their effectiveness, lower prices, and expand their flexibility to various applications.
Energy storage and utilization could be revolutionized by new technology. It has the potential to assist satisfy future energy demands at a cheaper cost and with a lower carbon impact, in accordance with the Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) and the Paris Agreement.
It is important to compare the capacity, storage and discharge times, maximum number of cycles, energy density, and efficiency of each type of energy storage system while choosing for implementation of these technologies. SHS and LHS have the lowest energy storage capacities, while PHES has the largest.
