- Retrofitting a battery to an existing solar farm
- You want flexible development timelines, contracting, and ownership
- A proven track record and lower delivery risk matter
- You have excess land to oversize solar and maximise shoulder-hour generation
- You want to retain grid-forming capabilities
| - A project where the decision to DC-couple was made before reverse DC infrastructure was available
- Capital cost is a priority
- Solar is oversized relative to the battery, so you want to export to the grid with minimal losses and charge the battery with excess solar that would otherwise be clipped by the inverter
- Grid forming is less of a priority (high system strength area)
| - You want the capital and electrical efficiencies of one shared inverter
- The battery is sized to cycle most of the solar, or more
- You are ready to adopt newer, integrated technology
- You want to retain grid-forming capabilities, along with DC coupling advantages
