Mercedes Benz is now all set to sell its battery modules to households in the UK. The new storage units will use the same Li-ion powered battery technology which runs the 80,000 hybrid and fully electric vehicles of the company. A total energy storage system of 20kWh can be created using 8 battery modules of 2.5 kWh each. According to Mercedes, “A network of qualified partners and distributors makes planning and installation easy. At present, Mercedes-Benz Energy is working in the UK with distributors such as Alternergy, Innasol and Wind & Sun, as well as with partners who offer a complete system installation, such as Solar Frontier. The latter’s network of qualified installers can advise customers on-site, make offers on all components and manage all planning and installation. Stationary battery storage systems are generally installed together with solar panels.”
