Ukraine has set up new medical clinics to serve two of the small towns to the north of Kyiv, Borodyanka and Irpin, both of which have been heavily affected by the war. Now the country’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, has confirmed that both will be equipped with Tesla Powerwalls and solar panels.
The Powerwall is basically a lithium ion battery with a capacity of 13.5 kWh, able to deliver up to 9.6 kW continuous power and keep an average home powered for up to 24 hours, according to Tesla. It can be used on its own, simply as a source of backup power, but if you also add solar panels into the mix, then it becomes a means to store solar energy and a way to feed electricity back into the grid.
