Orison, an energy storage company, announced today that the first true plug & play energy storage system is now available. Orison powers homes and businesses to reduce energy costs, provide backup energy during blackouts, and contribute to a clean energy future.
The networked, distributed energy storage solution gives consumers control to store energy from any electricity source, including grid or solar power, to access energy whenever it is needed. First units are slated for delivery Summer 2016 with customers receiving them on a first come first serve basis.
Orison can be controlled via a mobile app to see energy savings, and set the schedule times of charge and discharge if a specific need is desired. During a power outage, Orison provides immediate power while ensuring that none of the stored energy is sent back to the grid.
Orison Panels can be expanded using the Orison Panel+. As many as five Panel+ can be added to a main Panel for up to 13.2 kWh of storage on a single circuit. The Orison Panel will be priced at $1,600, with each supplemental Panel + unit costing $1,100. The Panel+ units cost less by leveraging the power electronics and networking capabilities of the master unit. The total cost of an 8.8 kWh system with a 10-year warranty is $4,900. The Orison Tower will be priced at $1,950. It includes a Bluetooth speaker and lamp and is 9 inches in diameter and 34 inches tall, and can be placed on the floor or a tabletop.
