Overview

Project Summary

This project aims to design, deploy and demonstrate the integration of solar PV and energy storage systems into the grid and proposes advanced control methodologies for these systems that will levelize the cost of electricity (LCOE) to less than $0.14/kWh. These systems will be utilized at residential, commercial and community locations.
