The round trip DC-to-storage-to-DC energetic efficiency of the storage bank, or the fraction of energy put into the storage that can be retrieved. Typically this is about 80%. HOMER assumes the storage charge efficiency and the storage discharge efficiency are both equal to the square root of the roundtrip efficiency.
