JinkoSolar supplies modules to Flex House by Green BuilderMedia

JinkoSolar announced that it provided solar modules for the Flex House, presented by Green BuilderMedia 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.

The smart home 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 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 Xiande Li, JinkoSolar chairman. “Green Builder Media clearly shares this vision, and we are pleased to be part of the Flex House.”

Sara Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media, said, “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.”
