At CES, innovations aimed at eco-friendly home solutions stood out, particularly appliances that require no contractor installation, like an induction stove and a backup battery system. Unlike traditional solar setups, these user-installable options cater to residents of apartments and condominiums. While their upfront costs remain high, the potential for price reductions as demand increases is promising. Products like BioLite's first non-outdoor battery could simplify energy management and contribute significantly to reducing carbon footprints.
The hope is, as the popularity of accessible, user-installable green tech grows, the prices go down.
These new appliances I checked out don't require calling a contractor for installation and you'll be able to get your hands on some of them later this year.
The Backup by BioLite is the company's first non-outdoor item and comes in either a 1.5kWh size or a dual-unit 3kWh system.
I saw an induction stove, a window-mounted heat pump, a battery back-up system and a few other promising appliances.
