Goodbye to bills and fossil fuels. Your home may soon become self-sufficient thanks to Tesla. Elon Musk has announced that the company's 'home battery' is now around the corner: production of the storage system that allows you to feed off-grid feed off-grid, off the grid.
“We are about to unveil the battery for Tesla's house, the battery for consumers which will soon be able to be used to power homes or businesses. The design is ready and production should begin in about 6 months, ”the eccentric Musk told analysts.
For now, it is not known further details, such as the type of batteries, its costs or the power, but the CEO has assured that the new battery could act as a generator even during a power failure. And it is likely that it will be inspired by the model of the batteries used in the Tesla range of electric cars such as the Model S.
How stressed even The Verge, actually rival carmaker Toyota already uses a hydrogen fuel cell in its Mirai car which can be removed and used to power a home. And according to the Japanese carmaker, the battery can supply electricity to a home with average consumption for a week. And even the Nissan LEAF battery can power a home.
Tesla has already tested the market in collaboration with Solar City, the solar leasing company chaired by Elon Musk. The combination of storage systems and photovoltaic roof it will revolutionize the utility business worldwide. The advent of storage will accelerate the demise of fossil fuels.
Tesla's move to the 'storage consumer’ could accelerate this transformation. Already, utilities are beginning to reshape their businesses to adapt to a new market they will focus on distributed generation, hence on the production of electricity at the local level, rather than on the centralized model that has prevailed for decades. Have one off-grid and self-sufficient house it starts to come true.
