So the favorable finances of storage can use all the clarity and all the study they can get…Both reports find that the age of the battery is here, largely because costs have dropped so far, so fast…Lazard’s analysis also predicted significant cost declines over the next five years…[The] industry is focused on opening up new revenue streams and moving toward customer-sited and customer-focused services, such as demand charge management or solar-plus-storage solutions…" click here for more
