Average Installed Cost per kWh in 2025 In today’s market, the installed cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system — including the battery pack, Battery Management System (BMS), Power Conversion System (PCS), and installation — typically ranges from: $280 to $580 per kWh for small to medium-sized commercial projects.
Government incentives, such as tax credits, rebates, and grants, can significantly lower the upfront costs of commercial energy storage systems. In the U.S. and Europe, businesses may receive tax credits of up to 30% of the system cost, making the investment more financially viable.
Investing in commercial battery storage systems now offers benefits such as shorter payback periods, energy independence, reduced peak power costs, and achieving sustainability or carbon neutrality goals faster. Additionally, government incentives make systems more affordable.
