As the energy stored in the battery belongs to the buyer, energy storage tolling agreements will often prohibit or restrict the developer’s use of the storage system for station service. The inclusion of this condition requires that the developer enters into a retail service contract for the system’s non-storage load.
Under an energy storage tolling agreement, the developer of the energy storage system is responsible for obtaining site control, permits, interconnection rights, equipment, and construction contracts, as well as achieving agreed-upon milestones such as a target commercial operation date and a guaranteed commercial operation date.
Members of the working group have discussed these results and are currently recommending 0.5% for large systems and 1% of system initial cost per year for small systems as a reasonable expectation of PV system O&M costs. These heuristics inform an expectation of PV system O&M costs.
Combined PV and storage system topologies will generally require a bi-directional inverter, either as the primary inverter solution (DC-coupled) or in addition to the unidirectional PV inverters (AC-coupled).
