For the first time this year, I went to CES with Anggate, and in robots, laptops, TVs and more robots, I saw the most interesting products that may make our homes more environmentally friendly in a very low effort ways. I saw an induction stove, window mounting hat pumps, a battery backup system and some other intelligent appliances-they are able to install the user, work with standard 120V shops and play their role in reducing home carbon footprint. This year, a couple are coming to the market, while the other is still on the road toward extensive availability.
When I first thought about the decoration of my house, the solar panel on the roof immediately. Come to mind So I borrowed a loan and did it exactly. Well, I didn’t do this-it took several months to submit permits from me in the company company, and two days of skilled technicians are ringing on my roof and apply complex boxes and tubes on the sides of my house so that it can work. Last month, my electricity bill was $ 6, but it was not a low effort.
On the contrary, I do not need to check the new appliances that call a contractor for installation and you will be able to raise some of them later this year. Since there is no installation here, people who live in apartments and condoes or otherwise cannot install appliances where they live. But these products are not cheap. Hopefully, as accessible, the popularity of the consumer installed Green Tech is increasing, prices decrease. In the meantime, I will be dreaming in the day.

The first thing I really catching my eye on CES was the Bowlite plugin backup battery, a brand I knew by making Camp stoves It can recharge your phone. Backup by Biovolite Is the company’s first non -outdoor item and comes in either 1.5 kW size or double unit 3KWH system. The single unit has an inverter and a battery, while the “full” layout adds an additional battery bank to the inverter/battery set. It is either vertically or horizontally riding the wall and sticks less than three inches so that it can stay behind a refrigerator – in which the Boyvali representative told me that this is a basic place that the company appears to be used.
To use it, you plug backup into your wall and plug in the refrigerator or (or any other devices) in the backup. The battery is permanently recruited while the equipment also transmits electricity. If the power is removed, the battery automatically kicked your icebox, and sends a warning to the app to tell you about the closure. Until now, it may seem like a protection of the Eco solution, but because the app allows you to make a backup schedule on a regular basis, you can really take a grid from the grid to the grid at a time of use.
Backup should start shipping this summer and this is something I am seriously considering. While I have solar panels, I didn’t pay (enough) to take batteries. With a backup, I could have a refrigerator or schedule to run on battery power at night, then directly change the electricity during the day while the sun feeds the ceiling panel and refills the battery. The double unit, the full backup configuration cost is $ 3,000, but currently qualify for the 30 % tax credit due to its watts and the fact that you mount it on the wall (but I don’t think anyone has been counting until it becomes a long time). In addition, if you are safe now, you will get 10 % discount.

When I checked back up to CES, I was introduced to two other companies that Baolite invited to share my booth, copper and Milan. Copper was showing Charlie Plugin Induction stove. Researching the quality of internal air for our Air Purefire Guide, I learned that natural gas stoves are not low in that way. Environmental impact – they can be too Too bad For our lungs. He hinted me with an induction cooking, but I was worried that the one hundred -year -old copper wiring would not be on the work of my cotton.
Yes, all induction stoves are plugged in-but almost all of them need 240V shop, such as dryer use. If you are replacing a gas stove, there is a possibility that there is a 120V shop behind it. If you want to turn off the gas, you need to call the electricity to run the new wiring. This can be a simple operation – I have seen a minimum estimate of up to Rs 10000. But if you have an old wiring (they are) or if you are renting or otherwise you may not upgrade your electricity, you will probably get stuck with gas.
But copper Charlie can walk inside a standard shop inside 5 kW battery. In short, the battery fills itself when you are not making food. When you fire a burner or oven, the battery kicks so that it can make a difference what the standard shop can provide and what is the need for induction equipment. In the power outage, it can make three to five foods.
It also looks around with dark blue enamel inside the oven and with the reclaimed wood on the Nobes and the handle. The price tag is also sunshine. Like a backup, Charlie is currently eligible for tax credit to minimize the cost, to 4,200, but if you don’t trust it, you will pay about $, 000 6,000. It is not heard for the addictive cooker, but it is not cheap. Still, if it is between it and never goes away from gas, I will consider it.

Other booths of Bowlite in CES, Milan, showed their plug -in devices, Grace All Weather Window Hat Pump. I am interested in the hat pumps after learning this that heating is the biggest representation Power demand For most homes. Surprisingly, cooling requires significantly less energy (although it is often the largest Lightning The more home uses heat gas or fuel oil).
Heat pumps act like AC units, run a refrigerator (uses gradual More environmentally friendly A) who travels through compression coils, absorbs and releases because it leads from the inside of the house. To heat the house, the coil draws the heat from the outer air (yes, even when it is cold) and leave the heat inside. To cool the air, the heat pump performs this process in reverse. Milan claims 30 % more performance on window air units. When it comes to thermal system, this proportion can be significantly high, especially if it is replacing the combustion of the fuel.
Once again, no professional installation is needed, no standard will work 120V outlets and this window looks more attractive than AC units. Instead of changing your theory with a grill and some ventures, the design of the saddle bag hangs on both sides of the window and makes a good shelf for plants or other brick-brakes.
But here’s the bad news: Despite being on the Consumer Electronics Show, these window units are not yet available to users. Milan told me that he is currently focusing on sales of business from business business to help grow the company and has a big impact on greenhouse emissions. But still hope that one day directly, the user, the plug and play heat pump will be one day.
Zolotoxes
Of course, all this electricity is less beneficial if your area relies on irrational resources for grid power, so I was interested in seeing whether any of the solar generation products in CES have the same user’s useful ease. A company, Zolotoxes“Balcony Solar” is working on a plug -in solar kit for technology -based American homes, especially in parts of the European Union. Germany.
Basically, you clam the solar panel on a balcony, or another sun -facing space outside your home and plug it into the micro -inverter, which harmonizes PV energy into the grid, which can provide electricity to your home. Zulotox is only in the launch phase and the company will have plenty of Regulatory and technical problems To overcome plug and play solar kits in homes in the United States, but I wish for the fate of them all.
Sexy
As far as currently exists, companies like SexyFor, for, for,. anker And ECO FLOW -They were also in the CES-from the year the user-friendly solar panels/portable power stations have been combined. Power Station Combine the battery, place the inverter and the charge controller in the same and apply a simple plug for the panels that can be tied to the flower so that how much strength you can produce. You can use shops at power stations to recharge electronics, power lights and even run small equipment. It is not as beautiful as it opens into your current power system, but this is a little attempt to stir with a little solar in your power mix.
