As a start, it may be viewed as a replacement to a gas-powered generator, useful for blackouts and other emergencies, but with great implications for future use. Most excitedly, it is designed to use with solar to create a renewable, zero-emission, and ultimately inexpensive power source. And like any first generation product, it will no doubt see improvements in the coming years.
Of course adoption and ease of installation remain to be seen but given the risk of brown outs during the hot summer months and full blackouts could make this product a must have for some consumers. And reducing the demand on our power grid makes this a worthwhile investment.
