PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
In total, the cost of a 2MW battery storage system can range from approximately $1 million to $1.5 million or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. It is important to note that these are only rough estimates, and the actual cost can vary depending on the specific requirements and characteristics of each project.
**Battery Cost**: The battery is the core component of the energy storage system, and its cost accounts for a significant portion of the total cost. As of 2024, the cost of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, has been declining. On average, the cost of lithium-ion battery cells can range from $0.3 to $0.5 per watt-hour.
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).
Our operations and maintenance (O&M) analysis breaks costs into various categories and provides total annualized O&M costs. The MSP results for PV systems (in units of 2022 real USD/kWdc/yr) are $28.78 (residential), $39.83 (community solar), and $16.12 (utility-scale).
