The Hottest Amenity From Developers? A Power Plant Made of Batteries.


An apartment complex in Utah includes a solar battery in every apartment allowing the resident, power utility, and building developer to save costs for generating electricity.

This setup might not be easy to scale, but the developer plans to expand the model in other states.
