Just right: how to size solar + energy storage projects
In the United States, In this example, we are sizing solar for a 100 MW, 4 hour battery. The storage requirement is 100 MW due to the time of day the peak occurs, and we want to know how much solar PV to build to "fuel" the peaker. As you can see, the more stringent the requirement to avoid charging from the grid, the quicker the solar
