The energy transition and the desire for greater independence from electricity suppliers are increasingly bringing photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems into focus. Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity that can be used directly in the household or fed into the public grid.
For solar-plus-storage—the pairing of solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage technologies—NREL researchers study and quantify the unique economic and grid benefits reaped by distributed and utility-scale systems. Much of NREL's current energy storage research is informing solar-plus-storage analysis.
An energy storage system for residential buildings with PV generation is proposed. A control system was designed to maximize the self-consumption and minimize costs. The energy sent and consumed from the grid is reduced in 76% and 78%, respectively. The energy bill is reduced in 87.2%.
Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States. Much of NREL's analysis for this market segment focuses on the grid impacts of solar-plus-storage systems, though costs and benefits are also frequently considered.
Self-consumption: What you... One concept gaining importance in the world of solar and home storage is self-consumption: producing and consuming your own electricity at your home or business. As net metering policies start to shift in the coming years, a self-consumption setup may be the key to maximizing your solar savings.
Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity that can be used directly in the household or fed into the public grid. An energy storage system stores surplus electricity temporarily and releases it again when required. This significantly increases self-consumption and reduces electricity costs.
