The Tesla is an efficient (~105 miles per gallon equivalent model S) all electric car. Helps the environment, but you want to put Tesla products at you home, and save money. During the day, it charges from your solar panels. In the evening, when electricity is expensive and you can't get more power from your roof, the power wall releases the electricity into your home. You can buy multiple for $3,000 each (7 KwH. 10 KwH is $3500 per).This excludes installation fees. It also comes in different colors. Tesla is planning a gen 2, but there aren't very many details on that. Tesla has also developed a Powerpack for use in major buildings. The capacity for them is 100 KwH per.
You may ask "How does it work?". Well, here is how. The solar panel generates energy (see Solar Post) Then, the energy goes to the Inverter and the Powerwall. At night, The Powerwall releases its energy into the inverter, which shows up in your electrical outlets.
There is some competition for Tesla, but not much yet. 13 days ago, Nissan released its version called the xStorage. It is only available in Europe. Nissan has no immediate plans to bring it to the US. With the conversion, it costs about $4,500 for a 4.2KwH unit, but this includes installation. Mercedes has plans of creating competition. But , there is no cost or release date.
As you see, The Tesla Powerwall is a very interesting product. It has some competition, but I think the Tesla will be the clear leader in The Solar energy storage market.
Air Pollution Next post in series Samuel Desai Many environmental activists, unlike me, like to say that pollution is an important issue. I prefer to categorize them into three different topics. Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise Pollution, and Light Pollution. The other types of pollution are for another week but don't worry, you will hear about them soon. You may believe that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it the only pollutant, but it isn't. There are others. One type is methane gas, emitted by livestock and swamps. Another CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons which were used in refrigerators, hairspray, and many other things. But they were banned internationally in 2010 because of its deteriorating effect on the ozone layer. Personally, I think that the pollutant which harms us the most is sulfur dioxide. Sulfur Dioxide is a component in smog, but also reflects sunlight out into space, causing a global cooling. This may seem good, but sulfur dioxide is directly link...
By: Sameer Mehta 1 Introduction How does clothing, paint, ink, plastic, fabric, cosmetics, food, and other materials get their color? They get it from different types of pigments. This article is going to let you know how green pigment was used to be made and how it is made now. Cobalt Green This pigment, was very expensive, and it couldn't tint well so is isn't commonly commonly used. It was discovered in 1780 because of the preparation of zinc oxide. You can make it using a 1 to 5, cobalt to zinc ratio. Copper Resinate This pigment, was used from the 1400's to the 1600's. Emerald Green This HIGHLY POISONOUS pigment was discovered in 1808. It was one of the best pigments of the time, so they thought it would be best to kill people instead of having to "suffer" with bad paintings Green Earth This pigment, is an all natural one with the elements iron, magnesium, aluminum, and potassium. This pigment is still ...
