In 2025, the typical cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system, which includes the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, is in the following range: $280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels.
In 2025, the typical cost of commercial lithium battery energy storage systems, including the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, ranges from $280 to $580 per kWh. Larger systems (100 kWh or more) can cost between $180 to $300 per kWh. How does battery chemistry affect the cost of energy storage systems?
For example, a lithium-ion battery system for commercial use costs around $130 per kWh. The overall CAPEX depends on the size and scale of the installation, as well as other factors such as location and regulatory compliance.
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.
