This document examines DC-Coupled and AC-Coupled PV and energy storage solutions and provides best practices for their deployment. In a PV system with AC-Coupled storage, the PV array and the battery storage system each have their own inverter, with the two tied together on the AC side.
The main advantage of the DC-Coupled energy storage solution is the ability to PV clip recapture with a higher DC/AC ratio. However, In the DC-Coupled solution (pictured in Fig 1, right side), the battery and the solar array have to share the same inverter.
DC-Coupled system ties the PV array and battery storage system together on the DC-side of the inverter, requiring all assets to be appropriately and similarly sized in order for optimized energy storage and power flow. Mid to large-scale solar is a non-reversible trend in the energy mix of the U.S. and world.
Diverting power from the inverter to the DC/DC comes at an efficiency cost. The battery roundtrip efficiency is approximately 93% plus twice the DC/DC conversion loss of 98.2% equals 98.2% x 93.0% x 98.2 %, and then times the 98.0% inverter efficiency to get the power out to the grid = 87.9%.
