The OpenKilowatt Institute exists to create an online collaborative community, modeled on the software opensource movement, to solve the hardware design/cost issues needed to make kilowatt-scale sustainable power and storage a practical reality. Our big, audacious end goal is to enable every house and office building to be energy net-zero, by driving the installed cost of small-scale renewable "green" energy down to the same or cheaper than coal (about 4 cents per kilowatt-hour, in the U.S.), within a single generation.
