This is soooooo cool!!! I love stuff like this! I know, it’s not about personal health or fitness, but I guess it’s about the health of the planet which in turn could end up contributing to your personal health eventually. How cool is it that you can POWER YOUR ENTIRE HOME WITH THIS BATTERY BY TESLA ? He unveils a battery to power your home, completely off grid. He explains in this quick video below…
It’s called “Powerwall”. “ It’s a battery you keep in your home, that charges using electricity generated from solar panels, or when utility rates are low, and powers your home in the evening. It also protects your home against power outages by providing a backup electricity supply. Compact, automatic, and easy to put up, it allows you to be independent from the electrical grid and have the safety of having an backup in case of emergency.
You can get the smaller version for $3,000, while the larger unit will go for $3,500 (I’d go for the larger one personally). It uses the same batteries that are used in the Tesla cars. They will store power from the framework or from sun if the network goes down, they will keep on running your home. It’s going to be perfect for developing countries.
The Powerwalls will change the “whole vitality framework of the world.” according to Elan Musk (the creator/founder of Tesla)
You will be able to POWER YOUR ENTIRE HOME WITH THIS BATTERY BY TESLA around mid 2015.
They look sleek and modern, mounting on the wall; like this…
More fun facts:
- The large battery is 10 kWh weekly cycle and the smaller one is 7 kWh daily cycle models.
- Guaranteed for ten years.
- Can power most homes during the night.
- Install multiple batteries together if your home needs more energy (90 kWh total for the 10 kWh & 63 kWh total for the 7 kWh).
- Wall mounted, with liquid thermal control.
- 10 kWh = $3,500
- 7 kWh = $3,000
- 10 years Warranty
- 350 – 450 volts
Here’s how the Powerhouse battery works:
Are you going to POWER YOUR ENTIRE HOME WITH THIS BATTERY BY TESLA?
Have you ever thought about living off the grid? I’ve thought about it but I’ve always pictured I’d have to move to the middle of nowhere. It looks like I won;t have to do that now!
Would love to hear what you think in the comments below.
We keep looking at it, but wow, the price. I still can’t see what the benefit of these over normal solar batteries is? The post makes it sound as though solar batteries haven’t existed until the Tesla battery. Why buy one of these when solar batteries are far less expensive?
What am I missing? 🙂
Hi Marie. Thanks for your comment!
I’m obviously not that educated on the subject. I just saw these and thought they were cool, so I thought I’d share it. Would you be interested in writing a little bit more about solar batteries here? Like, how much, how big and where do they go/where do you keep them? How much power do they generate, and how do they look compared to these Tesla batteries? You’ve got me curious now…
That is really cool! I think I need to look into it further. 🙂
That’s what I thought too! Thanks for your comment Amanda. Have an awesome day.
