Pricing as of February remains unclear. While median energy storage system prices declined slightly between August 2024 and the end of January 2025, the report found
NLR analyzes the total costs associated with installing photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential rooftop, commercial rooftop, and utility-scale ground-mount systems.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compiled and synthesized empirical data on the U.S. utility-scale solar sector. The focus is on ground-mounted systems larger than 5M AC,
This work was authored in part by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, operated by Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under
We show bottom-up manufacturing analyses for modules, inverters, and energy storage components, and we model unique costs related to community solar installations. We also
