SunPower Offering Home Energy Storage Solution
June 24,2014 SunPower Corp. announced a new collaboration with KB Home to install energy storage solutions at certain KB Home locations in California as part of a pilot program. SunPower currently offers its solar power systems to purchasers of new homes in more than 150 KB Home communities; the new pilot program expands the partnership to demonstrate the new technology's ability to store solar power generated during the day for use during power outages. "With energy storage capability, homeowners with solar power systems and home system monitoring today can control their electricity costs and have the security of knowing they'll have power during an outage. In the near future, battery storage will help homeowners manage energy loads using stored power, including charging electric vehicles at night," said SunPower CEO Tom Werner. SunPower and KB Home are piloting the energy storage solutions this year in select KB Home communities in Irvine, El Dorado Hills, and San Diego, Calif., with the potential for a broader rollout to additional communities next year. KB Home estimates that at current residential electric rates, a 1.4-kilowatt high-efficiency photovoltaic system provided by SunPower and installed as a standard part of a 3,654-square-foot, Energy Star certified home at Vicenza would yield average energy savings of $216 per month, or approximately $25,900 over ten years, compared to a typical resale home without these features.
