Everything coming together
And just today Tesla announces a new home battery for solar or wind power. About $3500, they say, and it is describes as the missing piece for sustainable energy use.
Stores up to 10 kWh. The units can be hint on a garage wall, and up to 8 can be combined. Using one would mean energy could be stored for when sunlight or wind is low.
They are also making a 100kWh battery for utilities.
GMP is in...
And GMP will offer the new battery:
“Green Mountain Power is pleased to announce that it will be one of the first energy companies in the country to offer Tesla’s new home battery, the Powerwall, to customers.
