Tesla’s new batteries and sustainable home solar
Last week, Tesla’s founder (Elon Musk) stated that his company was moving in to the home solar business. This was a move predicted by many due to the construction of a gigantic new battery factory just out outside of Reno Nevada. This is another sign of great things to come for home solar. Improved home battery storage coupled with ever improving solar technology is exactly what is needed to go fully off-grid and not reply on fossil fuels to power every day life necessities.
California alone has been a quickly expanding market for solar installations with more than 250,000 systems in use and employing over 54,000 people in the solar industry. The rate of growth will only increase as systems become more and more viable due to improving technology. Tesla’s interest in the market has solar enthusiasts cheering in hope that in the near future they will be able to abandon the need for grid power entirely.
Tesla is working toward designing batteries efficient enough to store excess solar energy produced during the day which can then be used at night when the sun is not out. This has been the biggest reason why current home solar solutions still rely partly on grid power, we just don’t have the batteries that can efficiently accomplish a 24 hour independent grid free solar solution commonly referred to as a ‘microgrid’.
Currently the technology is a bit on the expensive side with Tesla charging $3,500 for a 10 kilowatt-hour battery capable of sustaining the average home for about half a day (price does not include the install or any other required hardware). These battery prices are expected to drop significantly by 2017 when Tesla’s Reno factory is in full swing.
