I went to CES with Engadget for the first time this year and robots, laptops and TVs More robotsThe most interesting products I’ve seen were those who worked to cleanse our homes more environmentally friendly. I saw induction stoveA heat pump installed in a window, A battery reserve system And several other promising techniques – these are the user, the standard 120V … performs its parts in reducing the carbon footprint of a house. This year, a couple comes to the market, while others are still on the way to be wide.
When I first thought of decaronizing my house, the solar panels on the roof immediately came to mind. So I took a loan and did exactly. Well, I didn’t do it – a few months of solar in my sun and two-day qualified technicians were crawling on the roof and installed ink-looking boxes and pipes on the side of my house to prepare. Last month, the electricity law was $ 6, but it was not the process of less effort.
On the contrary, these new devices I checked do not require a contractor to set up a contractor for installation and you will be able to get some of your hands. They cannot constantly install in the places where they live in apartments and air conditioners because they do not have installation. But these products are not cheap. As the popularity of green technology that can be installed, accessible, accessible, the user is increasing, prices fall. Meanwhile I will continue to dream.
The first thing to really catch my eyes on my eyes on CES was a plug-in backup battery from bioulol Camp furnaces Can fill your phone. This Backup of Biolio The company is the first non-open product or 1.5 Kilw is in a handle or double 3KWH system. A single single inverter and a battery, adds a battery bank attached to the “full” configuration inverter / battery set. A wall or horizontally are corrected on a wall and less than three inches, so it can live behind a furnace because it can live behind a refrigerator – it is a preliminary place to see that the company is used.
Connect your backup to your wall to use it and connect the refrigerator (or any other device). The battery is constantly filled itself when the device is also the power of the device. If power comes out, the battery automatically starts to apply the app to enhance your ice box. To date, this is probably, unlike an ECO solution, it is likely to be more power safety, but in the period of peak use, you can take one of the largest energy hogs in the network.
Backup should start sending this summer and is something I think seriously. Although I have sunburn, I have not loaded (considerably) to get batteries. I could set the refrigerator at night to operate the night battery at night, then the sun feeds the roof and fills the battery. Double section, complete backup configuration costs $ 3,000, but currently matches for 30 percent tax credit (but no one is calculated on this perk Be something yet a long time). Moreover, if you spare now, you will receive a 10 percent discount.
When I checked the backup of CES, I invited two companies to share Biolie, copper and gradient. Copper was reflected Charlie Plug-in induction stove. While exploring the weather quality Air Cleaner GuideI learned that natural gas stoves are less perfect in terms of ecological effect – They may also be lucky for our lungs. This asked me to look at the induction, but a cotton will not be until a rising wire of a cotton.
Yes, all induction stoves are plug-ins – but all of them require 240V output like a drying machine. If you replace a gas stove, there is a 2,20V exit behind it. If you want to switch from gas, you need to call a electrician to run new wires. This can be a simple transaction – I saw calculations as online as a few hundred dollars. However, if you have older wires (this is) or rent or otherwise you can improve your electricity, you can simply get stuck with gas.
However, Copper Charlie can continue to a standard exit thanks to 5 kvte batteries inside (Great!). In short, the battery fills itself when you do not cook. When you turn on a burning or stove, it hits the difference between what the standard exit can provide and what the induction device needs. You can cook three or five meals in a power outage.
Also, inside the stove, the deep blue enamel and knots and stems are looking inside the tree. The price label is also swollen; As a backup, Charlie currently receives a tax credit to lower the cost of $ 4,200, but if you do not believe it, you will not pay for about $ 6,000. This is not not heard to cook an induction, but it’s not cheap. Again, if it is among this and never go out of gas, I would think.
In CES, Biolie’s booth showed its plug-in devices in Gradient, Gradient all air window heat pump. I was interested in heat pumps after learning that the heat is the largest of this heat Energy request For most homes. Surprisingly, the cooling requires a lot of energy (although most of the time) electric pull as many houses use a gas or fuel oil for heat).
Heat pumps work in a form of a refrigerator-working hungry units (using Gradient A) More environmentally friendly one), as moving outdoors from the closed, moving heaters, swallowing and releasing. To heat a house, rolls are heating out of the open air (yes, even when it’s cold outside) leave the heat inside. The heat pump to cool the air is exercised on this process. The gradient claims a higher efficiency of 30 percent higher than window weather units. When it comes to heat, this ratio, especially if the fossil is replaced by fuel combustion, this ratio may be higher.
However, no professional installation is required, any standard 120V exits will work and at the same time the window seems more attractive than hungry units. Instead of replacing your appearance with a grillion and some vents, the design of the saddle bag hangs on both sides of a window and creates a beautiful shelf for plants or other Bric-A-Brac.
But the bad news is here: Although in the consumer electronics show, these window units are still not available for consumers. Gradient said they pay attention to business business sales to grow the company and have a greater impact on greenhouse waste. But there is still hope that a consumer will be a consumer, plug-and heat pump in one day.
Of course, all of this electrification, if your region relys on unresolved resources for the grid power, I was interested in seeing that any sun offspring product is not easy to make the same user-thin. A company, ZoltuxIn particular, the EU, especially popular “Balcony Sun” technology is working on a plug-in solar set based on Balcon Sun technology Germany.
Basically, a point of view of a solar panel or outside of your home, you join a microinverter that violently synchronizes PV energy to allow a standard output to your home. Zoltux is only in the starting stage and the company will be a lot Regulation and technical issues To eliminate the plug-and playing sun sets in the United States, but I wish you all.
As companies, when it is currently available to existing ones Jacket, Anchor and Ecoplow – All were in CES – for years, the user has made a friendly solar panel / portable power plant combination. This Power plants Battery, inverter and combine each other and combine one-time manager and have a simple chips for papaty chained panels you can achieve. You can use electronics, filling electric lights and even use it in power plants to start smaller devices. It is not as elegant as anything feeding on your existing electrical system, but is a little diligent way to mix your power mixture in a little sun.
