He tells analysts the system will go into production in about six months. The technology would enable homeowners and small businesses to operate off-grid at least part time.
Tesla is making larger stationary storage systems at its Model X electric-car factory in Fremont, Calif., Bloomberg News notes. Tesla's chief technology officer tells analysts the company is working with several utilities on battery-based energy storage systems, which can be used for load leveling.
