Product Maintenance

Both LED lighting and power feed back feature of this product war Tesla?

Last year, Tesla launched Powerwall rechargeable battery pack products, so that families can store solar energy in them, and when necessary as a backup power supply. Recently, Tesla power wall launched a common family of 7 kWh and 10 kwh battery, which will fundamentally change the world energy conversion, a hot topic in the industry, many businesses have said, as long as the collocation of solar panels, they can further reduce the battery consumption of our main current power dependence fossil energy. As a result, the company in the field of energy storage equipment and no one can. But Tesla is not the only one to build a domestic battery business, there is a start-up company on its question.

Eric Clifton is the founder of Santiago start-up company, he found that although Tesla, and Samsung, Matsushita and South Korea battery giant LG Chem these enterprises in creating domestic battery, let the user in the power grid or the price is too high when not without electricity, but because they claim to need to rely on the solar panel, so people on these products or away, don't think it is worth buying. He is trying to convince the world that people really want these household batteries, these batteries can provide practical help for the people, the final design of the Orison products, a company of the same name and his products.

This product is small, the weight is only 40 pounds (18 kilograms), the appearance of white design, arbitrarily placed in the home of a corner will not matter, also not beautiful; but you can also put placed outside, it will hang on the wall, at the same time with LED lighting function.

In addition, the use of this product is very simple, users can install their own at home, then simply plug into the socket can be. At present, it can store about 2.2 kwh of electricity, the average user can watch TV for 5 hours, it accepts the cumulative use.

At present, the product is being raised on the Kickstarter, about $1600 (about 10880 yuan), the installation of equipment for each price of $1100. According to the company's commitment to Orison, these two home batteries will be shipped this summer.

Garrett Fitzgerald is Zijialuo Garrett for Rocky Mountain Institute analyst, he thinks Orison household battery is very promising, although the battery storage capacity is limited, but the price is better than the Tesla launched Powerwall household batteries are much cheaper. Moreover, Orison home battery installation is very convenient, and even do not need an electrician to help themselves to complete the installation, and it not only supports the general grid charging, but also supports solar charging. Orison batteries there is another bright spot, they can be higher during the day or when the electricity grid power outages, automatically feed back electricity to provide home.

But have to say is that the current Orison home battery also has some problems. Like other researchers, Faiz Gallo also believes that the prospects for this battery is not sure. He said that due to the Orison battery storage is too small, may not support you for a long time to maintain a power outage (although you can buy multiple devices). Moreover, depending on the circumstances, the economic accounts of these devices are also different. "If it is set to be multi-purpose, it has economic significance. "In other words, if you switch to battery power during peak hours, and with the use of rooftop solar panels, you can recover the cost of purchase. With solar power, you have the potential to further reduce your dependence on the grid at any time using your own clean energy.

Dan Simmons (Dan Simmons), vice president of strategic energy research institute. He has a slightly skeptical attitude towards domestic batteries. At present, the economic accounts are not really satisfactory. "But he also believes that with the improvement of basic battery technology, its economic significance will also be improved. At the same time, these devices can extend the use of solar energy at least, so that the owners to help the world towards sustainable energy and a little relieved. At the very least, Orison offers a simple path to such relief.
