Will US-made battery energy storage systems become cost-competitive in 2025?

US-made battery energy storage system (BESS) DC container solutions will become cost-competitive with those from China in 2025 thanks to incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Clean Energy Associates said. The solar and storage technical advisory firm revealed the forecast in its new quarterly BESS Price Forecasting Report for Q3 2023.

How much will a kilowatt-hour battery cost in 2025?

At that point, each kilowatt-hour of storage capacity would cost about $170 in 2025—less than one-tenth of what it did in 2012. In this scenario, battery packs could break through the $100 per-kilowatt-hour mark by 2020. Below, we explain how these developments might play out in the four main categories of system costs (Exhibit 3):

How much does a PV system cost in 2022?

The current MSP benchmarks for PV systems in 2022 real USD are $28.78/kWdc/yr (residential), $39.83/kWdc/yr (community solar), and $16.12/kWdc/yr (utility-scale, single-axis tracking). For MMP, the current benchmarks are $30.36/kWdc/yr (residential), $40.51/kWdc/yr (community solar), and $16.58/kWdc/yr (utility-scale, single-axis tracking).

How much will capital cost reduce by 2025?

In the near term, some projections show increasing costs while others show substantial declines, with cost reductions by 2025 of -3% to 36%. The cost projections developed in this work utilize the normalized cost reductions across the literature, and result in 16-49% capital cost reductions by 2030 and 28-67% cost reductions by 2050.

How can EPC companies improve efficiency?

EPC companies can adopt more efficient practices, such as lean construction (for example, optimizing crew sizes and eliminating downtime and wasted effort), prefabrication of major system elements, simplified bidding, and streamlined interconnection processes. Some of these practices will take hold naturally, as companies gain experience.

What solar policies did the US Institute between Q1 2022 & 2023?

Additional solar-relevant U.S. policies instituted between Q1 2022 and Q1 2023 included the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and California’s revised net metering rules.
