Quote:I wouldn't lease it but I'd buy it. I think it's going to eventually replace the generators everyone has in their garage. Even for people in urban area's once the price is a little more affordable. It'll become standard to mount one and let it charge off your electricity, then when the power runs out, you still have emergency power.

 

I'm interested in integrating it with a solar system we're trying to design. I'd like to eliminate the need for the utility company all together on our homestead but that requires lots and lots of research and then some significant money.

One other way it could work (which is mentioned in the article) is to serve as storage for solar power when there is little demand but lots of sun. It can then discharge when demand is high and little sun. It would make the process of expanding solar capacity so much easier because right now, trying to fit solar panels onto the existing grid in terms of demand and capacity is a right pain in the backside.
