Is energy storage a viable option for utility-scale solar energy systems?
Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States. Much of NREL's analysis for this market segment focuses on the grid impacts of solar-plus-storage systems, though costs and benefits are also frequently considered.
Will EPC contracts provide for the handover of a solar facility?
EPC Contracts will not provide for the handover of the solar facility to the Project Company, and the PPA will not become effective until all commissioning and reliability trialling has been successfully completed.
How does solar-plus-storage affect energy systems?
Solar-plus-storage shifts some of the solar system's output to evening and night hours and provides other grid benefits. NREL employs a variety of analysis approaches to understand the factors that influence solar-plus-storage deployment and how solar-plus-storage will affect energy systems.
Should you choose an EPC contract for a solar project?
Given the significant monetary value of EPC Contracts, and the potential adverse consequences if problems occur during construction, the lowest price should not be the only factor used when selecting a Contractor. As noted earlier, an EPC Contract is one of a suite of agreements necessary to develop a solar project.
What are the benefits of solar-plus-storage?
Among other benefits, it can help maintain the stability of the electric grid, shift energy from times of peak production to peak consumption, and limit spikes in energy demand. Solar-plus-storage shifts some of the solar system's output to evening and night hours and provides other grid benefits.
What happens if the EPC contract is uncertain?
Any uncertainty in the EPC Contract may unfortunately see the Contractor liaising directly with these third parties and possibly risking the relationship of the Project Company with key influencers, customers and long-term neighbours.
