Description (excerpt):
By addressing commonly asked questions about pairing solar photovoltaic systems with battery storage technologies (solar+storage), this guide is designed to bridge some of the fundamental knowledge gaps regarding solar+storage technologies. It is meant to serve as a starting point to establish a foundation of understanding for individuals and organizations beginning to explore solar+storage options for their homes, businesses, or community facilities.
The guide is organized into 12 common questions, each addressing multiple key topics. The answers are informed by more than ten years of experience through Clean Energy Group’s work with property owners, developers, nonprofits, and communities to advance solar+storage in historically marginalized and underserved communities.
The information presented in the guide focuses primarily on customer-sited, behind-the-meter solar+storage installations, though much of the information is relevant to other types of projects as well, including storage-only projects and front-of-the-meter solar+storage projects.
