With a solid history in the automotive industry, Nissan is shining an entirely new light on their expertise and innovative technologies. The company recently launched a solar generation and energy storage system for domestic use called Nissan Energy Solar.

Available in the United Kingdom, this all-in-one solution allows homeowners to live more sustainably by harnessing energy from the sun. The technology claims that it can cut energy bills by up to 66%.

Traditionally, solar energy has been used to power home appliances during the day, but Nissanâ€™s innovation can collect and store excess energy and use it in the night. It can even be used to charge an all-electric car, like the Leaf, on a cloudy day.

Francisco Carranza, Managing Director at Nissan Energy, said the system addresses a substantial and cultivating market. "Solar panels have become the world's fastest-growing source of new energy and we're thrilled to launch Nissan Energy Solar in the UK," he said in a statement. "Over 880,000 UK homes already have solar panels installed and they are seeing the benefits every day, from decreasing electricity bills to increasing property values.â€

The new technology also includes a home energy management system that will allow users to control how and when they use their energy â€“ and in real time. The result is an entire energy system thatâ€™s efficient and sustainable.

Nissan Energy Solar starts at Â£3,881 (roughly $5,300 USD). There are no official plans to launch this in North America, but solar energy advocates are hopeful.
