6 FAQs about [Residential Energy Storage Systems in the United States]

How many MWh is a residential energy storage system?

The data set totals 263 MWh, and covers all or a portion of installations in 20 states and the District of Columbia. WoodMac estimated that U.S. residential energy storage installations were 540 MWh in 2020, though an exact share of the market is not calculated here due to differences in the data such as when systems are considered installed.

Are residential energy-storage installations worth it?

Residential energy-storage installations even exceeded utility-scale storage installations for the first time in 2018, reflecting the high value customers are placing on having their own storage systems. — Falling costs.

Can residential energy storage be integrated?

Annual installations of residential energy-storage capacity could exceed 2,900 MWh by 2023. The more residential energy-storage resources there are on the grid, the more valuable grid integration may become. So several states are experimenting with grid-integration programs targeted at residential energy storage.

When will large-scale battery energy storage systems come online?

Most large-scale battery energy storage systems we expect to come online in the United States over the next three years are to be built at power plants that also produce electricity from solar photovoltaics, a change in trend from recent years.

Do energy storage systems generate revenue?

Energy storage systems can generate revenue, or system value, through both discharging and charging of electricity; however, at this time our data do not distinguish between battery charging that generates system value or revenue and energy consumption that is simply part of the cost of operating the battery.

Can energy storage be used in small nonresidential systems?

While this paper focuses on residential energy storage, some of the same ESSs may be used in small nonresidential systems. Nonresidential installations include installations at industrial sites, commercial buildings, nonprofits, government buildings, and similar locations, and do not include utility installations.
