In a recent article from ComputerWorld.com we discovered how Mercedes Benz answers Tesla’s introduction of the home and commercial battery product line. Not to be outdone by Tesla, the German engineers that put so much into the development of those exquisite, mechanically excellent, Mercedes Benz automobiles, have now taken to producing energy storage products. While these batteries were initially designed for use in vehicles, Mercedes Benz states that they also meet the highest quality standards for home use too!
According to ComputerWorld:
Up to eight battery modules with an energy capacity of 2.5 kWh can be combined into an energy storage plant with a capacity of 20 kWh.
Mercedes-BenzFrom cars to power grids, Mercedes-Benz energy storage modules are also suitable for private use to buffer surplus power virtually free of any losses.
“Households with their own photovoltaic systems can thus buffer surplus solar power virtually free of any losses,” the carmaker said in a statement.
What wasn’t announced by Mercedes-Benz was information about the size of or pricing for the new batteries.
Mercedes Benz has always been on the cutting edge of innovation and for those who make it to the market before Mercedes, we salute you. Still, Mercedes has a rich history of making advances that go far beyond the initial introduction of products to market by being hyper-vigilant to make improvements in their own line of products. We are looking forward to seeing more from the fine German automotive engineers in the future.
