Battery Powered House Stores Sun’s Energy
Scientists have made a prototype of a battery that could store enough energy for a whole house to be run for an entire day, reports the Popular Mechanics website. A small disc is in question that could prove to be the solution for the most efficient and cheapest storage of solar energy.
The Key to the Battery-Powered House
The new battery runs on sodium-sulfur—a composition that typically operates at greater than 600 F. “Sodium-sulfur is more energetic than lead-acid, so if you can somehow get it to a lower temperature, it would be valuable for residential use, Ralph Brodd, an independent energy conversion consultant, says.
