you can actually go if you want completely off grid you can take your solar panels charge the battery packs and that's and that's all you use hi I'm Wayne Carini Messina here at Tesla's Southern California design Center where CEO Elon Musk has just announced a new division of the company called Tesla energy we have this this handy fusion reactor in the sky called the Sun okay you don't have to do anything it just works shows up every day and produces ridiculous amounts of power Tesla energy is going to offer the power wall that's what you see behind me this is a battery backup system for a home's it comes in seven kilowatt hour and ten kilowatt hours sizes what this does is it stores extra electricity which can be generated from solar panels were taken from non peak hours from the grid the fact that it's wall-mounted is is vital because it means you don't need to have a battery room it means that a normal household can mount this on their garage or on the outside wall of their house and it's designed so you can stack them on the wall so if you look at the wall in the back there are some that are paired up so you can have two you can actually attack up to nine of the power walls and very importantly this is going to be a great solution for people in remote parts of the world where there's no electricity wires or where there's or where the electricity is extremely intermittent or extremely expensive so it gives you safety security it and it gives you a complete and affordable solution we're gonna start shipping in approximately three or four months and the cost this is $3,500 Tesla energy will also offer the power pack an industrial scale version of the technology this comes in a 100 kilowatt hour modules for 25,000 the company will be working directly with facilities to install these devices I'm Wayne cutting them for seeing it here at Tesla's Southern California design headquarters
