Tesla might not have invented the electric car or batteries, but it certainly came up with ways to improve these technologies and their respective business models.

Unlike other storage products, you cannot simply buy the Powerwall and install it yourself or call your favorite electrician.

Instead of one bulky box, one module of the Watts Battery is a tiny 1.2 kWh battery+inverter. Ten such modules can be stacked, quite literally, to reach a capacity of 12 kWh, making it the most innovative item on this list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each module supports up to 1 kW of solar power and provides 1.5 kW (3 kW peak) of continuous output. Like the Powerwall, it connects to the internet and provides real-time data on your mobile device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watts Battery advertises its product by saying \u201cno technician, no drilling, no additional connectors, or devices\u201d, which certainly grabs our attention. And although setting up the first module might require some work, the entire system is pretty straightforward to set up, unlike Tesla or LG\u2019s highly technical installations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watts Battery offers a slightly lower warranty period of 7 years, but at over 2,000 lifecycles, which is not bad. Each block of the Watts Battery costs $2,000, making it slightly expensive, but the simplicity and low installation costs compensate for some of it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-81f7d6a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"81f7d6a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1fd7393\" data-id=\"1fd7393\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34833d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"34833d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.

With a decent round-trip efficiency of 96.5%, a depth-of-discharge 84.5%,\u00a0 and a 10-year warranty, Pika just about keeps up with the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pika Energy is a Generac company and employs battery cells manufactured by Panasonic, and is quite reliable; however, the RMA process might pose a challenge for the same reason. The Harbor 6 costs up to $20,000 with installation and is more expensive than the Powerwall.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f52596d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f52596d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8464ac\" data-id=\"f8464ac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a36d1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0a36d1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">7.

Electriq\u2019s PowerPod 2 is an intriguing energy storage system that comes in 10, 15, and 20 kWh capacities and both DC and AC-coupled versions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It uses an LFP battery and boasts all the smart features similar to the Powerwall, such as a smart app and real-time monitoring. The unit also comes with a 10-year warranty and promises at least 70% capacity by year 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might not be gorgeous, but Electriq\u2019s offering is one of the best-looking options on the list and even seems to have a personality of its own.
