What Jamie wrote
This looks like really cool tech but sadly we cannot use in the US yet. Innovation like this and even things like the Tesla Powerwall make me wonder about two trends:
- Improvements in local storage and battery technology, along with more solar output and "grid shifting" by offsetting power consumption.
- Continued reduction of power demand in households.
Might reduction of our carbon footprint for energy come from making all houses standalone, or nearly standalone. What if the grids only job is to backup and assist your homes own electrical subsystem.
