Outer Space debuts solar pavilion with hidden battery storage decking

While most solar and storage setups are designed around a home, the founding team behind outdoor living brand Outer is putting the tech to use in a new backyard pavilion in a new company called Outer Spaces.

Designed to fit anything from an outdoor kitchen or lounging space to an office or a gym, the team raised $8 million from venture capital with an aim to deliver what it calls an OS1 in 2027.

The approach by Outer Spaces is to make the solar and storage tech invisible in the OS1 in any configuration, but the specs are impressive. With a technical team that includes former Anker Solix members, the OS1 uses what it calls Horizon BladePack lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery modules, installed horizontally within the structure’s metal deck, with wooden decking over the top.

Each module has a nominal capacity of 7.83 kWh, with the system expandable to eight modules and 62.64 kWh. Each module measures 1,470 × 368.6 × 125 mm and weighs about 72 kg (158.7 lb). 

The batteries use passive cooling, with integrated heating for temperatures below 0 C. The stated operating range is −20 C to 55 C, with output derated above 40 C. The modules are rated IP67 and carry a 10-year limited warranty.

4-US hybrid inverter and a 12 kW OS1 DC hub. 4 kVA with multiple modules. Motor-starting capability is listed at up to 80 A and 160 A, respectively.
