Evaluating the Technical and Economic Performance of PV Plus Storage Power Plants: Report Summary
LCOE is a incomplete metric for evaluating PV plus storage because of the significant increase in value associated with storage—benefit/cost ratio is an alternative metric that accounts for the added value. Coupling by co-locating storage and solar can decrease the overall net costs of deploying PV and storage (AC coupling).
