4 FAQs about Large-scale procurement contract for off-grid solar energy storage cabinets in Estonia

Do you need an EPC contract for energy storage projects?

When developing an energy storage project, a project owner can either engage an EPC contractor to provide a fully-wrapped EPC agreement that will encompass the procurement, installation, and commissioning of batteries. In many cases, however, owners will contract directly with battery suppliers for battery supply and commissioning.

Are solar manufacturers circumventing antidumping and countervailing duty orders?

The solar market was further constrained by an ongoing petition before the US Department of Commerce alleging that certain solar manufacturers in Southeast Asia were circumventing antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders on solar cells and modules from China.

How do stacked revenue streams affect energy storage?

Many early entrants into the energy storage space rely on stacked revenue streams to make the economics of developing the system work. For example, storage facilities are typically combined with tested resources that have proven production streams (such as solar, discussed above).

How does energy storage respond to grid needs?

Storage can respond to grid needs relatively rapidly by charging to store excess energy or discharging to supply electricity. Certain markets permit companies to offer capacity from aggregated energy storage systems placed behind customer meters. The aggregated storage capacity is offered to the local utility.
