How long does a PV solar system last?In general, the payback time can range from 5 to 10 years. However, it depends on several factors, such as theinitial cost of the system, available incentives, rebates, the cost of electricity where you live, and the amountof PV solar electricity you can store and use.
Are energy storage systems cost-effective?The results also show a reduction of 87.2% on the annual energy bill. The economic evaluation demonstrated that, despite the cost savings that can already be achieved, the system is not yet cost-effective. However, due to the fast reduction of costs that is projected for energy storage devices, such systems should be cost-effective before 2020.
