In the study he worked on, researcher examined four real-world uses of DeepMC—predictions of wind speed, solar radiation, soil moisture content, and temperature. Some farms are starting to develop their own microgrids , in some cases including generating their own renewable energy, for which Kumar says that DeepMC would also be useful.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources.
