Battery Comparison & Cost Calculator

Having difficulty explaining the real cost of energy storage options in a way your customers can understand? Discover’s Energy Storage Cost Calculator is a tool for installers that compares CAPEX vs OPEX of the major storage chemistries used in off-grid solar over a 10-year period.

Compare AES lithium to other lithium, tubular or lead acid battery systems. All you need is the manufacturer’s data sheet and battery specifications. Discover’s Energy Storage Cost Calculator generates a printable report that will help you demonstrate the impact of battery chemistry choice on your customer’s total cost of energy storage.
