a energy cycle almost independent of the one developed by Tesla: the american manufacturer had already expressed the intention to expand the business and become a supplier of environmentally friendly solutions integrated. Now, however, Elon Musk, number one brand of Palo Alto (California), enter in the detail of green strategy in the long term, the one based onsolar.
The basic concept is simple: the electric cars of Tesla (who wants to sell half a million a year, starting from the 2018 against the 80/90.000 set for the year 2016) will be refilled by a great battery domestic wall, in turn powered by solar panels installed on the roof of the house; the latter, thanks to solar energy, you can almost isolate from the network to the public electricity, using it only when necessary, maybe in the bands in which electricity costs less. Even if Tesla are convinced that these technologies are "sufficient to feed an entire home with 100% renewable energy".
A "vision" described by the same Musk during the presentation of the new Solar Roof and the second generation of the accumulators Powerwall 2, held in Los Angeles: the first one is a new concept of a solar panel, similar to a normal -. Available in 4 versions different, to better adapt to the tastes of customers, the Solar Roof is designed to match the style of the house and camouflage with it.
The irradiated elements are, however, protected from tempered glass with integral heater elements: according to Musk can withstand any weather condition and snow melt which may have depositasse above. No details on the prices that are been referred to as competitive: the orders are already open, with the first applications in USA expectations for next summer. In the business of photovoltaics is part of the SolarCity, the manufacturer of the solar panels (in debt by 3 billion dollars), of which the same Musk is the president and should soon be on incorporated from Tesla: an operation by us $ 2.6 billion.
The second generation of Powerwall is offered about 5.500 dollars: it offers a capacity of 14 kWh – double the original – and a power of 5 kW (7 peaks). While larger buildings can be used drive together. In the meantime, the Tesla, after eight quarters of negative performance, has returned to smile, even on the stock exchange, by publishing a final quarterly (ending 30 September) very positive, better than that proposed by the analysts: the company is back to do useful almost 22 million against the losses to 229.9 million for the same period in 2015. This has made flying the title to Wall Street, with rises of up to 6%.
