Musk is going to produce a battery that can power your house. Both Toyota and Nissan say their batter packs can power your house.

With that kind of battery, you can charge the battery with solar, or use grid power in the middle of the night when electricity prices are lowest. This could massively reduce everyone's electricity bills. It also means we're not far off of everyone actually being off the grid if they so desire.


The problem is you read it and still do not comprehend...this is nothing more than another greenies wet dream as alternating current is still the best and cheapest form of power easy to easy to make and transport to an existing grid. The touted plug and play system would have to have a charger (to hook to the existng grid) a battery pack (that would need to last 30 years to be cost efficient) and an inverter because all the stuff in your house does not run on DC current not to mention a solar grid that will only help you when the sun shines. Go price just the inverter and the solar components with enough ampacity to power your home and get back with us. There ain't nothing free....

One man with courage makes a majority....
