The battery can be controlled from the iPhone and via the web interface. If there are solar panels in the house, you can charge the battery from them, and then sell energy through the power grid to an energy company, reducing the electricity bill. It is also possible to charge the battery from the network at night and use the energy during the day, saving on energy costs due to the night tariff. The cost of the battery in leasing: $ 1,500 immediately and $ 15 / month for 10 years.
