Personalized renewable energy is gaining popularity, but the cost of using green energy solutions, such as wind and solar power, is still quite high. Another problem that hinders the progress of green energy is the problem of storing the generated power efficiently and cheaply.

Panasonic has stepped forward to solve this issue by introducing a large lithium-ion storage cell targeted specifically at homes. The cell is targeted to arrive in 2011. The cell will be able to hold enough energy to power the average home for a week.

Panasonic has recently made the acquisition of electronics company Sanyo, which has been pushing hard into the renewable energy sector.

Hopefully, the combined effort of the two companies will be able to produce a complete solution for the home. This will also include an energy use monitoring system accessible through a TV.

Panasonic will give more specific details expectedly on January 8th,

Local battery storage offers advantage to individual households that can choose the level of green energy investment they wish to make.
