Elon Musk, Chairman of the Board, CEO, and Product Architect at Tesla, on April 30 announced the launch of Tesla’s renewable energy solution, the home battery pack. The company offers the 10kWh model at $3,500, and the 7kWh at $3,000 – excluding installation and maintenance charges.During the highly anticipated launch of Tesla’s newest product, solar energy storage solution, Mr. Musk also introduced the Powerpack – renewable energy storage solution, aimed at commercial customers and the utility sector. This new solar energy solution by Tesla, for commercial purposes, can power large scale companies as well.

The Powerpack is a much larger version of the Powerwall, offering 100 kWh, using Tesla’s “grid tied bi-directional inverters,” which are capable of providing power for up to two hours on a large scale. Powerpacks can be combined with a number of other Powerpacks to up the total capacity to higher than 10 megawatt per hour (MWh).

According to reports, Tesla’s Powepack has already attracted big companies, with the likes of Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). The e-commerce giant, Amazon, is reported to have already employed a beta version of the 100 kWh Powerpack at its Northern California-based Amazon Web Services (AWS) facility.

AWS Engineer, James Hamilton, according to the report, said, “We’ve been working closely with Tesla for the past year to drive innovative applications of high-capacity battery technology in data center applications with the ultimate goal of reducing the technical barriers limiting widespread adoption of renewables in the grid.”

Tesla CEO, Mr. Musk also serves as the Chairman of the Board at SolarCity. Tesla also announced that it will be looking for other distributors in the near future.
