On Wednesday, Apple announced that it’s building a battery-based solar energy storage facility in California. The company said the facility would be capable of storing 240 megawatt-hours of energy to power above 7,000 homes for a day. The set-up includes 85 of Tesla’s Megapack battery energy storage systems announced in 2019 for the first time. The energy will be used to help power the company’s headquarters.

The company started the solar business in 2016 when it acquired SolarCity for $2.6 billion.
