Tesla's Powerwall home battery system will be widely available in Canada in early 2016, by Toronto-
Based on NRStor Inc.
Opus One Solutions Energy
Powerwall is lithium-ion, wall-
Installed battery system that homeowners can use when power is out or solar energy is stored.
Tesla Powerwall: month, you need knowNRStor to store Ontario electric power. There are two models for the new mobilythere. The 7kWh version is priced at $3,000. one 10kWh for $3,500, excluding installation.
The battery is integrated into the smart grid, which can be used by the smart grid to keep the refrigerator, heating or cooling system and electronic equipment running for several hours during power failure.
NRStor is also expected to use the technology to manage timeof-
When electricity prices are low, billing costs are used by storing energy overnight and using it during peak periods.
NRStor is a developer of energy storage projects led by Annette frashuren, former president of Home Depot.
Its projects include large and small
It is used to install the flywheel, compressed air and battery energy storage system.
"This energy storage system will provide Canadians with the opportunity to find obvious efficiencies in their day-to-day energy use and ensure access to energy when energy is really needed, verschuren said at a press conference.
NRStor will stand on the Opus One solution, the smart grid software engineering company.
Pilot projects with Powerwall will be built this fall.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who launched the home battery business last week, said he believed it could change by encouraging home owners to install solar panels and store their own electricity
"Our goal here is to fundamentally change the way the world uses energy," Musk told reporters when launching Powerwall . ".
The price of solar panels is getting cheaper and lower for remote communities and for other communities that do not have access to the grid safely than for some other forms of energy.
But the biggest problem is storage, and Musk wants to start working on it with his Powerwall.
Despite the current high price, he plans to set up a battery plant in Nevada, which may help reduce the cost of a new generation of lithiumion batteries.
