General Motors (GM) has expanded its energy storage offerings with the launch of the GM Energy PowerBank, a modular stationary storage system designed for residential applications. The PowerBank is designed to provide homeowners with greater energy independence and flexibility, allowing them to store and use energy more efficiently.
The PowerBank is available in two capacities: 10.6 kWh and 17.7 kWh. It can be scaled up to 35.4 kWh by combining multiple units, providing enough energy to power an average U.S. home for up to 20 hours. The system can be integrated with solar power systems, allowing homeowners to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during peak demand periods.
The PowerBank offers several benefits to homeowners, including:
- Energy independence: By storing energy, homeowners can reduce their reliance on the grid and potentially save money on electricity bills.
- Backup power: The PowerBank can provide backup power during grid outages, ensuring that essential appliances and systems continue to operate.
- Time-of-use rate management: Homeowners can use the PowerBank to store energy during off-peak hours and use it during peak demand periods, potentially saving money on electricity bills.
- Vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging: The PowerBank can be integrated with GM’s V2H technology, allowing EV owners to transfer energy from their vehicle’s battery to their home for backup power or to sell excess energy back to the grid.
The GM Energy PowerBank is part of GM’s broader strategy to become a leader in sustainable energy solutions. By offering a range of energy storage products, GM is helping to accelerate the transition to a clean energy future.
