Honda unveils energy-generating smart home project


The world-famous Japanese automotive giant Honda decided to try its hand in an unconventional field - in the creation of energy-saving "smart" homes.
The project is called Honda Smart Home US. Its main feature is the ability to generate more electricity than it consumes. Instead of the usual shingles, solar panels cover the roof, and geothermal pumps provide heat to the house. These autonomous systems produce about 16 MWh of electricity, while a home only needs 13.3 MWh.

The project developers propose to spend the remaining energy on charging an electric car such as Honda Fit EV or transfer it to a central power supply system. In addition, the “smart” house is equipped with modern energy-saving equipment, energy management systems, LED lighting, insulated facade and energy-efficient windows.
