Supercapacitor energy storage cost: Supercapacitor is a high-power density energy storage device, and its cost is mainly composed of hardware costs, including equipment such as capacitors and control systems. At present, the cost of supercapacitors is relatively high, about US$1,000-2,000/kWh.
The battery acts as a buffer and high power drain in a system where batteries are connected with supercapacitors. It will create fast charging, unlimited life cycle, high power destiny, etc. So, supercapacitors will create a hybrid battery solution for your solar energy storage system.
A typical supercapacitor stores about 15 seconds of energy, for a capex cost of $10,000/kWh, but just $40/kW of power. This is down to very high power density (10-25 kW/kg, 10-25x higher than a lithium ion battery), albeit quite low energy density (2-10 Wh/kg, which is 95-99% below a lithium ion battery).
Supercapacitors are suitable for solar charging because they can handle non-stop charging/discharging cycles with different currents and unstable parameters. They last longer than batteries and this device can be used for a very long time. In this project, I decided to use supercapacitors instead of batteries for this reason.
