The payback period refers to the amount of time it takes for the cost of the solar system to be recouped through energy savings. While the average payback period for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is estimated to be
Battery-based solar sells energy security, where simply payback is more ambiguous (as sporadic power outages are costly) and therefore longer "simple paybacks" are more acceptable. Customers buying batteries care less about payback and more about security. Anyone selling solar based on simple payback alone has subsidized net-metering blinders on.
In one corner of West Yorkshire locals are fighting plans to site two facilities within a mile of their homes. In short, battery storage plants, or battery energy storage systems (BESS), are a

This could potentially lead to a payback period of less than 5 years, even with moderate energy savings. Beyond the Payback Period: Additional Benefits of Energy Storage. While the payback period is a crucial financial metric, it''s essential to recognize the broader benefits that energy storage systems bring to the table.
Payback, as a risk management tool, only indicates if the investor should part with the money. It reduces investment analysis to a yes/no decision. As a consequence, energy management becomes a stop-and-go process. The company's beleaguered energy manager has to reset his or her agenda back to zero with each project rejection.
Heres how payback measures can frustrate energy management efforts. The greater the investors concern with investment loss, the shorter the payback time demanded. For example, a 12-month payback is preferred to a 24 month payback, and a 6-month payback is preferred to a 12-month payback.
A price of €350/MWh or above results in a payback period of only one year while a price of approximately €180 – the European Commission's proposed price threshold results in the payback time of five to six years. Investors are seeing the opportunity.
BNEF's forecast suggests that the majority of energy storage build by 2030, equivalent to 61% of megawatts, will be to provide energy shifting – that is, advancing or delaying the time of electricity dispatch. Co-located renewables-plus-storage projects, in particular solar-plus-storage, are becoming commonplace throughout the world, notes BNEF.
