Unlike other conventional storage systems such as mechanical, thermal, or chemical, electrochemical storage offers several advantages, including high energy and power density, competitive market prices, and the ability to support continuous charge and discharge applications. Due to their scalability and flexibility, electrochemical batteries have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, powering portable appliances ranging from mobile phones to tablets or laptops. It comes as no surprise that even the automotive sector is transitioning from combustion engines to electric motors, coupled with electrochemical batteries.<\/p>\n In the photovoltaic (PV) sector, batteries have been widely used for the past decade to store excess energy produced by PV panels during sunny hours and utilize it during nighttime. The decision to shift power production to the night can be motivated by various factors, depending on the specific system in place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In on-grid systems, both at the industrial and residential levels, most installed PV systems do not include batteries. The reason behind this lies in the cost implications. Shifting excess solar energy to the night hours leads to an increase in cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and an extended payback period. Providing quantitative examples is challenging as it depends on factors such as electricity bills, scheduled costs, battery prices, and battery capacity. According to our experience in the sector, to double the self-consumption through hybrid system we move from 4-5 years of Pay Back Time, with only the PV, to 9-10 years. For this reason, the majority of the installation is known as “0-injection” or “self-consumption,” where the peak production of the PV system matches the peak load demand.<\/p>\n
