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.
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.
