Geo will install the energy storage system in half the new buildings of Britain

Geo, which began 10 years ago as a manufacturer of thermostats, have since expanded their offers that Simon Anderson, Director of strategic development the company calls "smart house" that combines smart monitoring technology for storage systems and energy management.

In December of this year the company plans to show a prototype of a smart house and field tests will hold in the summer of 2017. The commercial launch is planned for 2018.

The concept is based on the idea of the hybrid car — use batteries to improve engine efficiency and can lead to the reduction of a third of the cost of electricity to ordinary houses and two thirds of homes with solar panels.





"In any case, 10% -20% of the energy will be supplied from the mains, even if the main source is the Sun," says Anderson.

The system Geo can't be purchased retail. Geo is going to offer their own hybrid home developers, and they will have to sell them. "We orientirueshsya on the new housing market, says Anderson. — Our clients — construction companies and utilities".

Geo believes that utilities will be able to install for residents of the new hybrid homes reduced rate, reflecting their higher energy efficiency.





According to Anderson, the plan for 50,000 new hybrid homes — not fiction. He refers to the support that the European Union is ready to provide clean energy. "Despite brickset, he admits, I believe that what happens in Europe affects the UK".

Another manufacturer of thermostats, Ecobee offers users voluntarily share data about the size of their homes, number of occupants and room temperature. This information will be useful to scientists and governmental organizations to study climate change. published
