A 1kwh Solar-charged exchangeable battery that can power any household appliance.
If we build to ZED standards :
Then we can build a two bed starter home that hardly needs any heating in the UK – about 1.5 kw requiring about 5 kwh of electricity / day as the input to a heat pump
This enables a typical home’s hot water demand to be met by 3 kwh of electricity / day as the input to a heat pump
Then the additional electric loads can be reduced to around 2kwh / day
A typical ZED home requires about 10 kwh of electricity / day for most of the year

Projects
Renovation
Zero carbon retrofit of existing buildings including Rockwool insulation, airtightness and 'Powerclad' system.
However if 10.5 kwh of batteries are built into the home – this can minimise the need to import electricity to the point where it is less than the summer exported electricity

So now your home can provide valuable personal electric transportation – particularly when its sunny
