Behind-the-Meter Battery Storage: Frequently Asked Questions

“…Lithium-ion BESS can typically last 10 years with minor impact on performance; however, depending on these factors, 4. For an overview of how quality concerns around DER can impact market outcomes and how system stakeholders can address these concerns, see Karandikar et al (2020). Although this report refers specifically to distributed solar PV, many of its lessons and approaches can be broadly applied to BTM storage as well.…”
