In the United States, the investment tax credit (ITC), which offers a tax credit for solar energy systems, has been extended to include battery storage when installed in conjunction with solar panels.
In the United States, project owners may be able to claim the Investment Tax Credit on most of the storage capital costs if it is charged with solar energy. Other than being limited by the interconnection capacity, the two systems will operate independently and determining the optimal energy storage size is no different than determining the optimal size of

When evaluating whether and what type of storage system they should install, many customers only look at the initial cost of the system — the first cost or cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Such thinking fails to account for other factors that impact overall system cost, known as the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), which factors in the system''s useful life, operating and
