The benchmarks in this report are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to PV and energy storage system installations. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not
This approach is intended to allow any input parameter in the model to be varied by up to a factor of two (up or down) to assess its impact on cost.

NLR analyzes the total costs associated with installing photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential rooftop, commercial rooftop, and utility-scale ground-mount systems.
This approach is intended to allow any input parameter in the model to be varied by up to a factor of two (up or down) to assess its impact on cost. All costs reported are represented two ways:
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries,
Additional storage technologies will be added as representative cost and performance metrics are verified. The interactive figure below presents results on the total installed ESS cost ranges by
