Battery Energy Storage System Cost Guide for Buyers 2026
This guide presents cost and price ranges in USD to help plan a budget and compare quotes. The information focuses on installed costs, including hardware, labor, and soft costs.
View DetailsIn 2025, the typical cost of commercial lithium battery energy storage systems, including the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, ranges from $280 to $580 per kWh. Larger systems (100 kWh or more) can cost between $180 to $300 per kWh. How does battery chemistry affect the cost of energy storage systems?
In 2025, the typical cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system, which includes the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, is in the following range: $280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels.
For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh. A standard 100 kWh system can cost between $25,000 and $50,000, depending on the components and complexity. What are the costs of commercial battery storage?
Investing in commercial battery storage systems now offers benefits such as shorter payback periods, energy independence, reduced peak power costs, and achieving sustainability or carbon neutrality goals faster. Additionally, government incentives make systems more affordable.
