SolPad Mobile has more built-in battery storage than any other portable solar device. And multiple devices can be linked to create even more.
Our FlexGrid system lets you connect multiple SolPad Mobile devices to generate as much power as you could imagine. And linking our devices is plug and play — they're self-configuring and instantly ready to give you the ability to make your own mini-grid off the grid.
SolPad Mobile was announced on 13 January 2017 as the world's first integrated solar panel with built-in energy storage and an Internet of Energy smart home platform[2]
Specs: 70 watts of solar, a 600 Wh battery, two fast-charging USB outlets, two AC outlets (2000 W peak, 1000 W continuous), LED lighting, Wi-Fi, 25 pounds[2]
Units link into a micro-grid and mesh networks can act as a hot spot; it is controlled from an iPhone and the SolControl smart plug directs stored power to appliances[2]
Pre-orders open 3 May 2017 at an introductory $1,395, including a free SolControl plug, with shipping in the second half of 2017[2]
SolPad Home, a rooftop panel, has pricing and pre-order dates to be announced[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.

At roughly 120 square feet, the Ecocapsule takes tiny living accommodations to the next level. The pod runs off wind and solar power and is equipped with a wind turbine and solar cells, which fuel the capsules' 9,744 watt-hour battery. It also has tools to collect and reuse rainwater and dew. Between its solar and wind power and water collection systems, Nice Architects say the Ecocapsule can support you for as much as a year at a time in off-the-grid locations.
The plant comprises more than five million solar panels that span the equivalent of two Central Parks in the desert between Yuma and Phoenix. It generates 290 megawatts of poweróenough electricity to fuel 230,000 homes in neighboring California at peak capacity. Costing a total of $1.8 billion to construct, received a million-dollar loan from the Loan Programs Office.
Consume Energy - The included SolarGaps dock that allows you to charge and power devices within your home or office.
Battery Storage - By storing surplus energy in a battery, you can reduce your energy bill by consuming stored energy during peak hours when rates are higher.
Sell To Grid - With a two-way meter from your utility company, you can sell your surplus energy by supplying it to the power grid during the day when the demand and price is higher.
