BTAC is a biannual report cowritten by PVEL and Exawatt which focuses on the critical issues for US-based PV installers looking to connecting co-located storage to their solar farms
The report leverages Exawatt’s detailed supply chain and bottom-up cost analysis with PVEL’s US based battery testing and policy insights to allow readers to make key decisions in a complex market.
The BTAC includes the following:
- Supply chain analysis of critical materials for US based grid storage
- Forecasts on how much LIB cells will cost out to 2025
- Analysis on alternative energy grid storage technologies to lithium-ion batteries

Edward Rackley
Head of Energy StorageEdward Rackley
Ed uses his electrochemical materials knowledge to inform our supply chain analysis and bottom-up cost modelling. He has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sheffield, specialising in solid oxide fuel cell anodes. Ed’s industrial experience includes research into novel battery current collectors and spinel cathode synthesis.![](https://exa-watt.com/wp-content/uploads/Aaron-W.jpg)
Aaron Wade
Head of Battery CostsAaron Wade
Aaron leads CRU’s battery cost modelling, forecasting production costs of current and next-generation battery technologies, understanding when and how new technologies will affect the battery market.Prior to joining CRU, Aaron completed his PhD in lithium-ion battery degradation with the Faraday Institution at UCL. During this time he interned at Exawatt part-time for the duration of his studies. Aaron is a project director of “Battery Pub”, an online networking event for the battery community.
