Read through the description below of the Tesla Powerwall, a rechargeable . battery for your home that can be used to store solar power. Then, use the comment section to take notes on what you just read. (Not a summary, but the important information you want to remember for later.) As with other energy storage products, the Tesla Powerwall battery pack is sized for day-to-day use at your home, and is usually paired with a home solar panel system. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you can use in your home, the excess is stored in the battery pack instead of being sent back to your power company (PG &E). Later, when your solar panels aren’t producing enough electricity, you can use the electricity stored in your Powerwall battery instead of having to buy it from your power company.
Normally, this process happens over the course of a day: when the sun is high in the sky and your solar panels are producing more electricity than you can use, the extra energy is stored in your Tesla Powerwall battery. As the sun goes down and your solar panel production decreases, you use the electricity that you stored during the sunniest part of the day. Basically, the Powerwall helps you balance out your electricity production and usage over the course of the day. *Taken from energysage.com Create an ACROSTIC for the new year, 2019. Instead of starting with a word, the base of your acrostic will be 2019. Each of the four descriptive words (or short phrases) should start with a number from 2019 instead of a letter. They can be anything that has meaning for or represents 2019 to you. You may work alone or with a partner.
In the Central Valley, we are in a prolonged drought and have had a tremendous shortage of rain. Now that it is the rainy season again, we have water coming from the sky that could be used, if we could only gather and save it. What inexpensive way can you think of to gather, store and be able to use the rain water.
When answering, consider: keeping the water fresh for months at a time, mosquitoes, how much water would actually make an impact on a typical household. |
