To disconnect from the network: the Powerwall from Tesla covers household demand for electricity

The head of Tesla Motors Elon Musk unveiled a new battery system the company will begin to ship to customers this summer. "The system should significantly change the process of global energy consumption and energy infrastructure," — said Musk, and baseless'm sure. Powerwall Tesla home battery can be used in homes and businesses. This lithium-ion battery charges from solar panels or from the home network.

The company Tesla has opened pre-ordering for its new product: the $3,5 thousand for a system capacity of 10 kilowatts per hour and $3 thousand for the battery capacity 7кВт/h. This power covers all household needs, except, perhaps, air conditioning and electric heating system: Powerwall running a 2-kilowatt regime, at the peak of giving only 3.5 kW. The strength of the current, which ensures system, 5 amps continuously and 8.5 amps at its peak. Its energy efficiency is estimated at 92% (in direct current).





This system weighing 100 kg can be installed both inside and outside. Its dimensions – 130Х86Х18 inches. Perhaps the only negative aspect is the fact that the selling price does not include the inverter (required for the transition from direct to alternating current). "After the construction of our battery factory in Nevada the cost of the batteries due to the scale of production will be reduced three times", — said Musk. The plant worth $5 billion will be the largest in the world. published
