If Elon Musks vision of millions of households producing all their own power becomes a reality, it will probably happen first in Germany. But he will face a battle for market share against local firms with years of experience in renewable energy, according to Reuters

  • Germany seen among most promising power-battery markets
  • Tesla Powerwall to launch in 3 markets, counting Germany
  • Local firms with years of solar experience to compete

The South African-born entrepreneurs company Tesla , best known for its electric cars, sparked global interest in the idea of self-powered homes in April, when it said it would start selling lithium-ion batteries for households next year.

The batteries, called Powerwalls, connect to solar panels on the roof of a house and aim to store enough power during the day to drive kettles and washing machines at night, raising the prospect that households one day will be able to rely fully on clean energy and become independent of the power grid.

Tesla has made sure that theyre seen as a lifestyle gadget, said Volker Wachenfeld, in charge of hybrid energy and storage solutions at SMA Solar.

SMA Solar is one of a number of German companies with ambitions in the market, counting Sonnenbatterie, SENEC.IES and Varta. Daimler Accumotive is also due to launch a product, while Solarwatt, owned by major BMW shareholder Stefan Quandt, says it is ready to join the fray.

Tesla is working with leading German and international solar PV (photovoltaic) distributors and installers to offer complete solar PV solutions counting PV panels, a solar PV inverter, and installation, it said. Reuters Report
