NLR 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.
In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW
Most large conventional electrical grids can operate without significant storage of energy after it has been converted to electric energy. This is because the load‐generation balance is
Short-term storage that lasts just a few minutes will ensure a solar plant operates smoothly during output fluctuations due to passing clouds, while longer-term storage can help provide supply
BATTERY STORAGE: Battery storage is a rechargeable battery that stores energy from other sources, such as solar arrays or the electric grid, to be discharged and used at a later time.
