SOLAR BATTERIES

As the transition to renewable energy accelerates, batteries for home energy storage are developing rapidly and gradually becoming mainstream. The tremendous advancement in lithium battery technology has sparked tremendous interest among those seeking to store excess solar energy, increase self-consumption, becoming more energy independent.
Households and businesses are looking for measures to support a reliable electricity supply ways during prolonged power outages. 


Advantages of Home Battery Systems

  • Reduce emissions – reduce pollution from coal/nuclear/gas power generation
  • Be blackout safe – Have power available during a blackout or emergency
  • Reduce cost – save money by using less energy from the grid
  • Reduce peak demand – Supporting the at peak times and supplying grid stability services **

Tesla Powerwall 2

Tesla Energy’s Powerwall lithium battery system has made a significant impact in the solar industry, pushing home energy storage into the mainstream. Powerwall 2 includes an integrated battery inverter/charger, giving it significantly more power and flexibility.
Powerwall 2 features and specifications
