The Next Step in Energy Storage: Aggregation

 

[doubleohwhat]

They keep announcing stuff like this yet Tesla Energy can't guarantee that I'll get my powerwalls installed by the end of the year. A local company that would like to become certified for the powerwalls can't even get Tesla Energy to return their calls.

Wish I had green mountain....

That is an inexpensive solution for times when the grid is down, and it aids the utility the rest of the time.
I cannot begin to sort out the other benefits since they will be very utility dependent. If this lets Green Valley continue to offer "free" net metering it is a win-win.

This could be huge in California. Of course, as others have said, they need to get units installed or there will be nothing to aggregate. Green Mountain is a good utility to start and demonstrate it's viability.

I hope that Tesla comes up with a way to monetize grid services for PowerWall owners in California.
