This report updates those cost projections with data published in 2021, 2022, and early 2023. The projections in this work focus on utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems for use in capacity expansion models. These projections form the inputs for battery storage in the Annual Technology Baseline (NREL 2022).
Solar-plus-storage made up 95% of the 11 GW of new hybrid capacity brought online last year, and total hybrid installations rose 90% from 2022 to 2023.
Energy storage installations boomed last year, almost doubling cumulative capacity to around 16 GW from 8 GW in 2022, and bringing total hybrid project capacity online now to over 30.7 GW, said the American Clean Power Association in its 2023 annual market report.
Solar-plus-storage made up 95% of the 11 GW of new hybrid capacity brought online last year, and total hybrid installations rose 90% from 2022 to 2023, "setting a new record in the hybrid space," said ACP''s report.
Solar developers deployed a record 32 GW of capacity last year — the first time that the industry exceeded 30 GW of installations in a single year, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie.
"If solar played the leading role in this industry this year, energy storage was certainly a co-star," said John Hensley, ACP''s vice president of markets and policy analysis, in a press call about the report. "We are starting to see that hockey stick curve of growth that we like to see for a new industry Building new storage projects has never been more attractive in this country."
A little more than half of battery storage projects operating today are hybrid projects, the report said, as hybrid projects have become "increasingly popular largely due to the structure of federal tax credits."
ACP''s report indicates that demand for battery storage "will likely continue to significantly outstrip domestic manufacturing capacity," Roger Miksad, president and executive director of Battery Council International said in an email.
During the press call, ACP CEO Jason Grumet said he thinks "some of the most interesting news" from the last year is storage.
"The potential there is tremendous," Grumet said. "I think for the last few years, people have thought of storage as kind of a niche technology, and we are now revealing the truth that storage is core to the American economy and future of the power sector."
However, Grumet and Hensley said the future of the clean energy industry in the U.S. continues to be threatened by a lack of new transmission.
"Consider that in 2023, we added just 255 miles of high voltage lines across the country. And that after a very slow 2020 and 2021, which saw just 67 miles and 358 miles built, respectively," Hensley said. "It''s just not the pace that we need to keep this industry moving."

As subject matter experts, we provide only objective information. We design every article to provide you with deeply-researched, factual, useful information so that you can make informed home electrification and financial decisions. We have:
Sourced the majority of our data from hundreds of thousands of quotes through our own marketplace.
Incorporated third-party data and information from primary sources, government agencies, educational institutions, peer-reviewed research, or well-researched nonprofit organizations.
Built our own database and rating system for solar equipment, including solar panels, inverters, and batteries.
We won''t charge you anything to get quotes through our marketplace. Instead, installers and other service providers pay us a small fee to participate after we vet them for reliability and suitability.

Last year was another tumultuous year for the residential solar industry in the U.S. with persistent inflation and California''s Net Billing Tariff, making it as imperative as ever to provide transparency into the solar and storage market.
The EnergySage data team is excited to present the 18th edition of the EnergySage Intel: Solar & Storage Marketplace Report, covering the twelve months from January 2023 through December 2023. It delves into pricing trends, equipment preferences, Marketplace shares, and financing terms within the residential solar and storage marketplaces on EnergySage.
The Solar and Storage Marketplace Report''s data come from EnergySage, the leading online comparison-shopping marketplace for solar. We provide custom solar quotes to shoppers from local, vetted solar companies in 41 states and Washington D.C. (and counting).
We analyzed quotes submitted by solar companies to shoppers in the Marketplace throughout 2023, comparing the first half of the year to trends over the second half of the year. For the first time in over two years, the median quoted solar price on EnergySage decreased, dropping to $2.80 per watt ($/W), 3.5% lower than the first half of 2023.
To provide a sense of market dynamics in different states and regions, EnergySage analyzed Marketplace quote data for the second half of 2023 for the five states with the most cumulative solar electric capacity installed through the third quarter of 2023 based on data from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie.
For the sixth Solar & Storage Marketplace Report in a row, four of the top five solar states (excluding Colorado) had median quoted prices below the national median price. Notably, half of solar quotes on EnergySage were priced below $2.75/W in California in the second half of the year. This sharp increase from only 20% of quotes in H1 2023 is driven by companies seeking to improve solar economics in the state after the sunsetting of net metering.
Interest in energy storage remains high on EnergySage. Seven out of 10 solar shoppers requested battery quotes on EnergySage throughout 2023.
As the storage market reaches new homeowners, the drivers of interest in storage continue to evolve: In the second half of 2023, very little separated the three main motivators for storage interest on EnergySage. Financial savings, maximizing self-consumption, and backup power each accounted for more than 30% of interest in storage.
Similar to solar pricing, the trend of increasing storage pricing reversed over the second half of 2023, with the median price dropping 6.4% compared to the first six months of the year. This drop in prices is driven by a 19% decrease in quoted storage prices in California, where we''ve seen a nearly 45% storage attachment rate since the Net Billing Tariff went into effect.
