Ceramatec Inc,. a Salt Lake City UT technology company has developed a battery attached to a disk that can store at least 20 kilowatt hours of solar energy. Home solar energy users are the ideal market for this new technology but non-solar homes would be able to use these batteries as well during off-peak hours.The average American home uses approximately 25 kilowatts of energy per day so this battery-disk would save up to almost a days energy for later use. It's currently in development with an target of 2011 for testing how the market will react to these battery-disks. The current projected cost of one disk is approximately $2000.

Wow, thank you very much for the FYI ;)
You can build your own Solar Panels, saving $10,000’s off of retail price?
Almost anyone can do this, even if they have no solar experience?
