The energy revolution with Tesla Motors
Of course, the world of home solar energy is practicing an industrialized revolution at the hands of the company Tesla who has surprised again with his new proposal of solar panels camouflaged and renewing their generation of homemade batteries with thePowerwall 2. More improvement in the face of renewables, more design and more capacity so that we can all have the dreamed solar panel at affordable prices in our homes… Is it true?
The CEO of Tesla motors, Elon Musk, has recently presented in Los Angeles a new powerful solar equipment that is committed to bringing self-consumption to homes in a simple way, following the company's line with its advances and technological proposals aimed at improving the way we understand electricity in our houses.
If we look at the roof with the naked eye it is almost impossible to think that the roof of this house is not made with normal tiles. Those pretty red curved tiles are actually almost 100% camouflaged solar panels (There are four initial models, including the slate tile). It is the latest creation of the company in collaboration with the SolarCity company. (We must remember that we spoke at the time of the first transparent solar panels or of those that we simply took them to the field with the solar panel that is transported, it is flexible and self-sufficient and has the capacity to provide the necessary electricity to a party or a full house)
The presentation has been with four varieties of tiles that are made of glass tiles with integrated solar cells and that will present a handmade appearance. An example of the camouflaged solar panels that Tesla soon to be introduced to the market are …
From shallow angles, the tiles do not appear transparent. But as you approach a 90 degree viewing angle, the underlying solar cell will become slightly more visible. The result is a shingle that lets in sunlight from above, but still looks opaque to anyone at ground level.
At the same time that the new tiles were shown the company also presented the Powerwall 2 battery that can store around 14 kWh of energy, with a continuous power of about 5 kW and a maximum power of 7 kW (It will cost around 5,500 dollars according to El País and that some experts announce as a breakthrough price in the market). They will be covered by a 10-year warranty and unlimited charging cycles, and they can also be installed both on a wall and on the floor, outside or inside the home.
To learn more about what has happened, from the presentation video that was made in Los Angeles we can test the reality of a new technological regeneration in the world of solar panels.
Actually, as a good company that wants to "take over the market" and make a profit, the idea is to join and sell the Powerwall 2 panels and batteries together. Until now, anyone who wants to bet on using solar energy and doing without - in the As far as possible - from the electricity grid, I needed to buy the panels from one company and the batteries from another. From now on, the steps are simplified as the panels and batteries will come together.
