Study throws cold water on residential solar-plus-storage economics
Combining storage with solar panels does not make grid defection economically viable, researchers say
Another academic study is challenging the economics of pairing rooftop solar panels with behind-the-meter energy storage.
The study, by Eric Hittinger and Jawad Siddiqui for the Rochestor Institute of Technology, was published earlier this month in Utilities Policy. It follows on the heels of a study in Nature Energy that said storing solar power can increase energy consumption and emissions levels.
Hittinger said his study was undertaken as a reaction to the media coverage in the wake of the unveiling of Tesla’s Powerwall residential battery. The study also takes on recent studies by the Rocky Mountain Institute that have predicted that solar-plus-storage systems will reach grid parity and defection will become an increasingly popular option.

When costs are exponentially higher with renewables it will continue to be fringe........and why solar is still fringe after 20+ years. Of course, to the progressive k00k climate change OCD's, costs don't matter to people.
So much losing..............
