SHANGHAI, Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding
Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) ("JinkoSolar"), a global leader in the solar
PV industry, today announced that it provided solar modules for the
Flex House, presented by Green Builder® Media and built by Shelter
Dynamics, exhibited at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in
Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Flex House, a net-zero, 760 square foot smart home provides
a compelling vision of sustainable compact living with all of the
creature comforts modern urbanites are accustomed to. It comes with
a full suite of smart home functions and sustainable fixtures all
integrated with Amazon Alexa. The Flex House also incorporated
electrical vehicle charging, with a Bosch charging station and a
Toyota Prius Prime.
The Flex House is entirely powered by a solar plus storage
system using a series of all-black JinkoSolar high-efficiency
monocrystalline PERC modules and a backup battery system that
maximizes the house's power generating ability despite its compact
size. The off-grid home was one of the only exhibits at CES, the
world's largest electronics show, that remained fully powered
during the massive power outage that took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, demonstrating its
potential real life application. The Flex House is expected to be
available on the market later this year, with base models ranging
from $125,000 to $150,000.
"Our vision has always been to increase the use of renewables in
the world's energy mix and that goes beyond just changing the way
power is generated. It is also about optimizing the way we consume
electricity and the overall ecosystem around that consumption,"
said Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar
Chairman. "Green Builder Media clearly shares this vision, and we
are pleased to be part of the Flex House. As a global leader in the
solar PV industry, we are thrilled to be included in the smart home
conversation with global brands like Amazon, Bosch, and
Toyota."
"As the global population continues to grow and space and
resources become more scarce, we're going to need different types
of housing solutions," said Ms. Sara
Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media. "The Flex House
exemplifies the type of small-footprint, intelligent, sustainable,
and solar-powered homes that we need to start
embracing. JinkoSolar understands the need for a new housing
solution and is undoubtedly positioned to be an essential part of
next generation, smart homes."
