The capacity of the battery is 565 MWh. The cycle life of these kinds of batteries is about 5000. Meaning they get about 5000 charge and discharge cycles before their useful life is over. It could be 2000 it could be 10000 and the definitio

No. This is additional on top of energy production. Energy production cost was already in the base price quoted. The energy consumption will be roughly the same unless the price changes dramatically. But this allows more PV generation to b

So estimating the lifetime of the battery at 5000 cycles and lets say round trip efficiency at 95% we end up with $0.082 / kWh. (EDIT: originally I claimed $0.074 which is wrong) that the battery adds. So I'm guessing in the long
