Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who unveiled his “Powerwall” home battery Thursday, is already offering them to SolarCity Corp. customers seeking backup supply when the grid goes down.
The battery “replaces noisy, dirty fossil-fuel generators with zero-emission storage technology,” SolarCity said Thursday in a statement. Musk, whose Tesla Motors Inc. developed the product, is also chairman of the San Mateo, California-based solar supplier.
