Solar-plus-storage economics: What works where, and why?
As technology prices decline, solar with storage becomes economical in more cases and at lower demand charge rates. This suggests that, similar to falling technology costs, increasing utility rates will result in a larger number of solar-plus-storage systems, larger system sizes, and increased savings from each system.
