The benchmarks are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to typical PV and energy storage system configurations and installation practices. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.
This translates to a range of $2.06– $12.37/kW/year, and a benchmark value of $3.44/kW/yr. for a 200-kW commercial rooftop system and $1.17–$7.02/kW/year, and a benchmark value of $1.95/kW/yr. for a 100 MW utility-scale single-axis tracking system.
Table 6 lists our model inputs and assumptions for a commercial energy storage system. We determine the battery size (600 kWDC)13 using an inverter loading ratio of 1.3 and an inverter/storage size ratio of 1.67, based on Denholm, Eichman, and Margolis (2017).
The major storage components we model for utility-scale stand-alone storage systems are the same as those summarized in Figure 17 (page 27) and Figure 18 (page 28) for the commercial stand-alone storage model. Table 8 lists our model inputs and assumptions for such a utility-scale energy storage system.
In September 2021, DOE launched the Long-Duration Storage Shot which aims to reduce costs by 90% in storage systems that deliver over 10 hours of duration within one decade. The analysis of longer
