Tesla Unveils New Breakthrough Sustainable Technology
Tesla Unveils New Breakthrough Sustainable Technology
Tesla
is yet again leading the way in sustainable innovation. CEO Elon Musk recently
announced the development of Tesla’s new breakthrough technology that will be
revealed on April 30th, 2015. This technology will revolutionize the ability
for consumers and businesses to efficiently store energy. The announcement
event is near, and various insiders have already exposed information regarding
the new energy storing battery. Business Insider Mathew DeBord posted an
article earlier today titled, “Here's Everything We Know About Tesla's Big
April 30 Announcement,” in which he reveals Tesla’s partnership with
SolarCity, a successful solar panel company delivering solar panel systems to
hundreds of American households. Tesla and SolarCity are working together to
develop energy storage systems that will increase energy efficiency and allow
for storage of energy from renewable sources. "Obviously, if you have a
solar setup, you would want to be able to bank as much power as possible when
the sun is shining. A high-capacity Tesla battery would allow you to do that,”
Mathew states.
The
cost of a Tesla home battery is likely to be far from affordable to the average American consumer, considering the high cost of Tesla vehicle, which is largely
attributable to the high cost of the electric battery. Thus, Tesla home
batteries might be luxurious investments for the 1%, but this group of people
is likely spending more on energy than that of the average American as well.
Energy costs are based on the hour of day in which the energy is used, because
electricity is more expensive to supply during high periods of energy use. The
new battery would allow businesses and consumers to store energy during
off-peak hours. This would increase overall energy efficiency by decreasing
energy reserves needed to account for peak hours of energy use. Tesla has
already tested these batteries in 300 California homes and 11 Wal-Mart stores
in a pilot program, according to the article “Tesla's New Line of Electric
Batteries is Already Being Used By Wal-mart,” by Rob Price (Business
Insider, 4/22/15). Many await in anticipation for the big day, April 30th,
when Tesla when reveal the success of their sustainable technology through the
development of their new energy storing battery.
