Tuvalu, an island nation midway between Hawaii and Australia, has commissioned a new solar-plus-storage project with the ADB, featuring a 500 kW, on-grid solar rooftop array and a 2 MWh BESS in the capital, Funafuti.
Solar panel installation costs $15,000-$35,000 before incentives, with most homeowners paying $21,420 after the 30% federal tax credit for a typical 6kW system. Costs vary significantly by state, with Hawaii ($32,400) and Arizona ($18,600) representing the high and low.
