# Modular Energy Storage Systems The Mercedes-Benz Energy System is for the Home By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-04-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-storage-systems References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/mercedes-benz-energy-power-pack-uk-delivery/49168/) & [media.daimler](http://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko/Daimler-starts-deliveries-of-Mercedes-Benz-energy-storage-units-for-private-homes.xhtml?oid=10044927) The need for effective ways to keep energy stored on a local basis for consumers is apparent, so the [Mercedes-Benz Energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-glb) storage systems are intended to offer a solution. Developed by [Daimler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/econic) subsidiary ACCUmotive, the Mercedes-Benz Energy system features lithium-ion batteries that are capable of keeping energy from wind turbines or home solar panels stored until needed. The Mercedes-Benz Energy storage systems have a modular aesthetic that enables them to be utilized with more or less battery units as required. This makes it possible to get the exact level of functionality desired without having to commit to a single model that could become too small in the near future for your needs. The Mercedes-Benz Energy system comes as a competitor to the [Tesla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-powerwall-3) Powerwall and will soon be launching in the UK. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Energy Storage:** Opportunity for innovation in designing and developing modular energy storage systems for efficient and customizable energy solutions. - **Local Energy Storage:** Potential for disruptive innovation in creating local energy storage solutions to support renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels. - **Competition in Home Energy Systems:** Opportunity for disruption in the market of home energy systems with new competitors like the Mercedes-Benz Energy system challenging Tesla Powerwall. ### Where This Applies - **Energy Storage:** The energy storage industry can explore and develop modular systems to meet the growing demand for efficient and customizable energy storage solutions. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can benefit from local energy storage solutions to store, manage, and distribute energy from wind turbines and solar panels efficiently. - **Home Energy Systems:** The home energy systems industry should be prepared for increased competition as new players like Mercedes-Benz Energy system enter the market and offer alternative solutions to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Semi-Fixed Energy Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunshare-technology.md) - [Home Energy Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-energy-storage-system.md) - [Modular Energy Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-power-reserve.md) - [Scaleable Home Battery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-power-system.md) - [Stackable Residential Battery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetti-1.md) - [Modular Energy Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-power-solution.md) - [Modular Home Battery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-battery-backup.md) - [Home Energy Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-energy-storage-solutions.md) - [Advanced Energy Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-energy-storage-solution.md)
