Abstract
Federal agencies have a long history of using solar photovoltaics and battery storage (PV plus storage) systems at remote sites where the technologies can offset costly diesel fuel. However, recent declines in lithium-ion battery costs, along with changes in net metering policies and utility rate structures, are opening up opportunities for PV plus storage to be deployed cost-effectively at grid-connected sites.
