By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
How much does a battery storage system cost?
While it’s difficult to provide an exact price, industry estimates suggest a range of $300 to $600 per kWh. By staying informed about technological advancements, taking advantage of economies of scale, and utilizing government incentives, you can help reduce the overall cost of your battery storage system.
Why do we use units of $/kWh?
We use the units of $/kWh because that is the most common way that battery system costs have been expressed in published material to date. The $/kWh costs we report can be converted to $/kW costs simply by multiplying by the duration (e.g., a $300/kWh, 4-hour battery would have a power capacity cost of $1200/kW).
