Reply to comment by AJ_Gaming125 in New solar capacity 10 times cheaper than gas, says intelligence company Rystad by EnergyTransitionNews

Solar on its own is cheap, Solar with a battery is a bit more expensive. The problem is replacing a base load orange with an apple doesn’t always do the job. Solar is great but only 50% of the time unless you add that second component.

That was my question reading this, what’s solar + grid scale storage cost? Isn’t that a more important number?

On a small scale such as my home, the battery side of things was 1.5x what the solar was. So if Solar is $20,000 installed, you're looking at another $30,000 for the storage.
