The solar market may be slowing down at the moment, but automakers will not be down-to-earth to grab the sustainable energy market.
Starting early next year, German auto giant Daimler, the owner of Mercedes-Benz, will begin offering auto repair shops to American consumers.
Install the battery pack to store the energy collected from the rooftop solar panel. Mercedes-
Mercedes-Benz Energy America is opening a shop in Sunnyvale, California, just 12 miles from Palo Alto headquarters, an electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors that has been selling Powerwall, and since last year, its own brand residential energy storage unit.
In the end, Daimler hazard will launch industrial systems like thatTesla has installed, while BMW, Nissan and General Motors) both are planning to launch their respective versions of the power system to help with renewable energy. energy-
Caring homeowners have reduced their reliance on local power grids.
The move is part of a profound shift in the automotive industry because of autonomous driving, driving
It seems that sharing and electric vehicles will fundamentally change electric traffic.
Car companies see a huge synergy in the development of electric vehicles, hoping to create a niche for themselves in a completely different industry.
Whether there is a large market for home battery storage systems remains to be seen, but no electric vehicle manufacturer is idle.
Sam Wilkinson, senior researcher in the solar and energy storage industry at IHS Markit, told Sharon: "Tesla or Mercedes batteries have a certain brand appeal . ".
"Is there the same reason for consumers in this area? I'm a bit skeptical about this, but I think it's important to look into the future and in the future, the relationship between fixed energy storage and electric vehicles will become closer and more integrated.
Daimler moves into renewable energy
The energy system began last year when it first launched a solar storage system in Germany, and although it is a subsidiary of Accumotive in Germany, Germany is one of the world's leaders in adopting residential solar energy.
Earlier this year, Germany began delivering goods to customers.
Although Daimler did not comment on the performance of these systems in the North American market, its expansion to the North American market shows that the company sees the potential for growth.
One of the main drivers for automakers to enter the fixed energy storage market is the physical properties of lithium-ion batteries.
These large lithium-ion battery packs are no longer useful for electric vehicles until they are completely worn out, so automakers are working on how they can be used for other purposes.
"You can recycle materials from electric cars
Car batteries or you can sell them as energy storage devices, which requires much lower performance, "said Sam Korus, an industrial innovation analyst at ARK Invest, a market research and investment management company.
This provides a powerful driving force for automakers to find ways to make a profit from each electric vehicle
The car battery pack they produce.
But in the end, automakers are facing restrictions that solar companies don't have: the main reason for having a fixed battery storage system is to collect energy from solar panels, which means companies that sell the entire package-
Solar panels and battery packs-
Better location.
At present, the only car manufacturer with commercial activities in electric vehicles, battery production and solar systems is Tesla Motors.
Elon Musk, CEO of the company, has been pushing for a merger with SolarCity, the country's largest solar service provider.
Musk was founded ten years ago.
Even if the merge does not pass (
Investors are cautious about Tesla
Tesla's close ties with SolarCity and its move to make its own battery supply give it an edge over other automakers. (
This is an advantage, assuming both sides are profitable.
Challenges and debt
In the long run, companies that are fully loaded survive. )
Automakers realize they're facing batteries.
Recycling issues, which push their efforts into the energy industry --Storage system.
German car manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz
Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen in particular are planning to launch several new electric and hybrid gasoline models.
Electric cars will need a lot of batteries in the next few years.
And plan what to do with them when they are replaced.
