GM Energy recently launched the GM Energy PowerBank, a stationary storage product that gives EV owners the power to store and transfer energy from the grid, and the option of integrating with solar power equipment.
The General Motors unit has also expanded access to energy management products across all 50 states.
The GM Energy PowerBank, which comes in 10.6 kWh and 17.7 kWh battery capacity variants, can provide power to a home when there is an outage or help to offset higher electricity rates during peak demand, the company said.
"Customers can also store and use captured solar energy, supplement charging of EVs and provide power to a home without the presence of an EV. "
By combining two 17.7kWh GM Energy PowerBanks, consumers can create 35.4kWh of stationary storage, it said.
The GM Energy PowerBank is available for purchase as part of the GM Energy Home System bundle, which also includes a GM Energy PowerShift charger and GM Energy Vehicle-to-Home Enablement kit. Customers who previously purchased the GM Energy V2H Bundle can add on a GM Energy PowerBank.
For customers integrating solar power, GM Energy will refer customers to preferred installer Qmerit for site assessments, compatibility checks, and personalized quotes.
As with existing GM Energy V2H products, the GM Energy PowerBank and compatible solar power systems will be accessible via GM’s brand mobile apps, for seamless energy management, the company noted.
