The Powerwall home battery system is a wall mounted system that can be used to store electricity from solar panels. The main goal of the system will be to store solar energy not used at the time it is generated to use later on when the sun is not shining. However, the system will also be useful in other applications such as providing backup power during power outages. A bigger version of the Powerwall will also be available for commercial applications and has been designed to be installed in clusters, allowing for more energy storage.
Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, believes that this new battery will accelerate the move away from fossil fuels to a more sustainable energy source, enabling homes and businesses to manage their own power demands. The battery is set to be available in Canada in early 2016.
