Leaving the grid—The effect of combining home energy storage with renewable energy generation

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016, vol. 60, issue C, 1213-1224

Abstract: Household renewable energy generation through the use of solar panels is becoming more commonplace as the installation cost is reducing and electricity prices are rising. Solar energy is an intermittent source, only generated during the day subject to interference from weather and seasonal variation. Energy storage solutions such as Lithium Ion batteries are also reducing is cost and have become a viable solution for storing the solar energy generated for use at other times.
