Certain types of generation plants—as an example, hydroelectric—need to be built where certain terrain conditions occur; usually, far away from the cities that require this electricity. Therefore, requiring thousands of miles of expensive distribution lines to connect both.

Distributed rooftop solar panels and micro wind turbines allow in-situ generation. The problem is their intermittency.

The solution is a battery that stores enough electricity to power your building for as long as the sun doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow. Such battery also makes blackouts a thing of the past; independently of natural, technical or terrorist disasters. It would also mark the end of electricity bills, while providing energy of the best quality that extends the life of your electric motors.
