Automotive technology that heats your home: Mercedes-Benz Energy STORAGE UNITS sustainably reduce electricity costs and support environmental concerns.
Steffen Völkner is a 39-year-old mechanical engineer living on the outskirts of Berlin with his wife and two sons aged six and nine. Their 120-square-metre home is powered by a solar energy system, which they keep in the basement. “It works great,” Völkner says. The home has a roof-mounted photo voltaic system which was installed in February 2016, along with a Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage Home system located beside the laundry room. The storage system’s three compact modules, each with a capacity of 2.5 kWh, store any electricity which is generated during the day and not immediately used in the household. The lithium-ion battery modules used in the Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage units utilise the same technology that Daimler has employed for years in its electric and hybrid vehicles. Originally developed to serve the rigorous demands of the automotive field, the energy storage units satisfy the highest safety and quality requirements.
