Energy Storage as Consumer Product: Will Storage Follow the Path of Rooftop Solar?

摘要

Innovative financing, declining costs of equipment and installation and supportive policies have all contributed to a rapid uptake in photovoltaic (PV) solar across the U.S. and the emergence of PV as a consumer product. In addition, new private sector investment and innovative financing, dropping costs and emerging policies are supporting a growing market for energy storage. Energy storage, therefore, should follow suit to also become a consumer product.
