This paper is primarily on U.S. photovoltaic (PV) and PV plus battery energy storage systems (BESS). Section 2 is on recent news on wind, PV and PV+BESS economics, and specifically how their levelized cost of energy compares with other types of generation. Section 3 is on recent major PV+BESS and PV-only projects. It also includes some amazingly low power purchase agreement energy-pricing.
