Tesla Powerwall breaks the myth of centralized energy.
If you use energy that comes from a utility company it means that you rely on centralized energy.
We, and many other homeowners and small businesses, rely on centralized energy because is much easier and affordable for us to sign a contract with the utility company instead of producing our own energy.
In fact, we produce a part of the energy needed at the office by using a 2.9 KW solar system, but our consumption is much higher during the day, so we also consume electricity that comes from the grid which is again centralized energy.
Tesla Powerwall is the home battery system created by Tesla, and represents a great asset for the homeowner because it breaks the myth of centralized energy.
We all know that the biggest issue with the renewable energy is represented by the energy storage system used because they are very expensive and after only a few years they start losing some of the energy stored.
We start using energy storage systems when we buy a new phone, laptop, tablet or any other gadget that can be charged and used without being connected to an outlet.
The problem with the lithium-ion battery found in the phone is the fact that becomes almost useless after two or three years of usage.
You charge the phone, but after only one or two days, you see that the battery is almost depleted even if you barely used the phone during that time period.
The same situation can be found with the energy storage systems (batteries) used by tablets and laptops, after a few years of usage, they must be replaced because they become almost useless.
By creating the Powerwall, Tesla brings the energy storage system at the disposal of the homeowner.
By using the 7KW or the 10KW Powerwall, the homeowner can store the energy produced by its PV panels much better than before.
This energy storage system is also a rechargeable lithium-ion battery which uses liquid thermal control to avoid overheat.
It comes with a 10 year warranty, so it is more advanced than the battery used by your phone, tablet or laptop, and also represents a great tool for saving money because it powers your home during peak evening hours.
