If you work with photovoltaic installations in the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector, you've probably already heard of LCoE (Levelized Cost of Energy). But when we incorporate indutrial storage, another key indicator comes into play: LCoS (Levelized Cost of Storage).

๐Ÿ“‰ Why is it important?
LCoS measures the actual cost of energy storage over the lifetime of the system. It is key to determining the economic viability of batteries in solar C&I projects, as it takes into account:

โœ… Investment and operating costs
โœ… Battery life cycles
โœ… Charging and discharging efficiency
โœ… Maintenance costs

๐Ÿ’ก Optimizing LCoS means reducing the price per kWh stored, which makes storage more cost-effective and accelerates ROI for companies looking to maximize their self-consumption and reduce their dependence on the grid.

If you are designing a system with batteries, be sure to analyze LCoS along with LCoE to make more strategic decisions and offer more competitive solutions.
