# Energy-Storing Home Systems The Tesla Powerwall Brings Energy Savings to Homes and Businesses By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-05-01 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerwall References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-battery-powerwall/37283/) & [teslamotors](http://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/teslaenergy) The Powerwall is a home battery system for Tesla, and was unveiled by CEO Elon Musk. This stationary home battery offers 10 kWh of storage capacity for the relatively reasonable price of $3,500. A small version is also available for $3,000, and offers 7 kWh. Users can combine multiple units. This battery is capable of working in temperatures ranging from -20 to 43 degrees Centigrade. Homes wired to the grid can store energy from the grid during low-rate periods and use it during peak hours when energy is more expensive. In addition to offering increased convenience for users in the developed world, the Powerwall could one day be of great use in isolated parts of the world that don't have the greatest energy infrastructure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Energy-storing Home Systems:** The trend of energy-storing home systems like Tesla's Powerwall creates opportunities for companies to innovate with cost-efficient and eco-friendly energy solutions for households and businesses. - **Renewable Energy Storage:** The trend of renewable energy storage systems increases the demand for innovative solutions for optimizing energy use and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. - **Off-grid Energy Solutions:** The trend of off-grid energy solutions like Tesla's Powerwall presents opportunities to develop sustainable energy alternatives and increase energy autonomy for households and businesses. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Energy Storage:** The energy storage industry can capitalize on the trend of home battery systems to provide affordable and efficient energy solutions to consumers. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can innovate to meet the growing demand for energy storage solutions, enabling the widespread adoption of clean energy sources. - **Smart Home Technology:** The smart home technology industry can integrate energy solutions like Tesla's Powerwall to optimize energy use and reduce energy costs for households and businesses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Home Energy Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-energy-storage-system.md) - [Scaleable Home Battery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-power-system.md) - [Modular Energy Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-power-reserve.md) - [Home Energy Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-energy-storage-solutions.md) - [Modular Home Battery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-battery-backup.md) - [Home Backup Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solix-e10.md) - [Emergency Smart Home Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-battery.md) - [Semi-Fixed Energy Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunshare-technology.md) - [Balcony Energy Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balcony-energy-storage-unit.md)
