(Boursier.com) – Tesla officially presented its latest development research, a dedicated battery for domestic applications and businesses. With this project developed by Energy Tesla, the Californian group intends to diversify applications dedicated to luxury electric cars, and expand its potential trade fields. The new find, the Tesla powerwall, domestic battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion solar power or via the network.
Solar Energy Storage
This battery stores the accumulated electricity via solar energy and allows the regulation of electrical purposes. Indeed, it also charges on network and can store energy at times hollow of the night. “Our goal is to fundamentally change the way the world uses electricity. (…) The goal is a total transformation of the energy infrastructure of the planet,” said Elon Musk, the CEO of the company in conference press. The battery, which is housed in a garage or on the wall of a house, should in future empower houses equipped with solar panels.
Sustainable Energy for $ 3500
This battery clean sustainable energy will be put on the market in the summer of 2015 in the United States and then in 2016 for the world. Its selling price is 3,500 dollars for installations of 10 kWh and 3,000 kWh for 7 dollars. SolarCity, which is the leading US domestic solar energy and trade partner Tesla, has opened new orders. The first installations are planned for October. Tesla expects to generate a small but growing gross margin batteries segment in Q4 2015. It would be profitable in 2016.
Important Market
Elon Musk has however refused to say if this new segment would supplant the automobile business, and also whether Tesla Motors would change its name to Tesla Energy. The market is indeed important … Deutsche Bank estimates that sales of the Tesla battery system could represent $ 4.5 billion in revenue on a valued the electricity storage industry market $ 19 billion in 2017 by IHS CERA consulting firm.
