Back in 2006-2008, RPS legislation was going around the Country but for solar they were not enough. The RPS laws often had a push for a solar carve out so that solar could find its piece within the rule. Those standards gave us the NJ and MA markets amongst others. Seems to me that energy storage is going through a similar process. It sounds cliché but storage is 10 years behind solar with a potential growth trigger that relates the two sectors. Like Germany, which doesn’t have net metering, the US attempt to get off net metering and into time of use rate design, the storage sector can ‘trick’ the shift into a box that takes homes off the grid. I’d love to hear from you all about how you are looking at storage and how it intersects your business.
