The Panasonic Lithium-Ion Storage Cell

Though it’s primarily the cost of solar and wind power devices that keep many homeowners from installing systems, green energy doesn’t run 24 hours a day. But Panasonic may be about to solve this problem with their new lithium-ion storage cell.

Changing the Game

Designed specifically for homes, the Japanese electronics manufacturer says its cell can hold enough power to run the average house for a week. If all goes as planned, this revolutionary energy storage system has the potential to make solar and wind power a more viable and cost-effective option for the entire world.

With the cell set to debut in 2011, the president of Panasonic, Fumio Otsubo, says that the company’s mission is to realize CO2 emission-free daily life in the home. More details about the lithium-ion storage cell should be announced within the coming days.
