Energy Storage

Self-Powered Home

Powerwall plus solar allows customers to produce, store and consume their own energy.

• Rather than sending their excess solar energy to the grid during peak solar production, customers store that energy in Powerwall.
• Then, customers can use that stored energy later in the day or in the evening to power their home when solar is no longer producing energy. This increases the amount of renewable energy that they are using to directly power their home.
• In conclusion, solar paired with Powerwall will drastically reduce a customer’s reliance on the grid.

Backup Power

Powerwall’s Backup Gateway detects an outage and alerts Powerwall to provide power. The solar inverter will detect voltage/frequency and will continue to work. In backup mode, solar keeps generating power for the home and charging Powerwall. This provides seamless backup, even during extended outages!

• Rather than sending their excess solar energy to the grid during peak solar production, customers store that energy in Powerwall.
• Then, customers can use that stored energy later in the day or in the evening to power their home when solar is no longer producing energy. This increases the amount of renewable energy that they are using to directly power their home.
• In conclusion, solar paired with Powerwall will drastically reduce a customer’s reliance on the grid.

Home Energy Monitoring

• The Tesla mobile app allows customers to monitor and manage all of Tesla’s products, from Powerwall and solar to any of Tesla’s electric vehicles.
• Customers will also be able to see how much energy their solar array is producing, how much energy they are consuming from the grid, and how much they are consuming from or sending to Powerwall
• Every day they can see how self-powered they were, right on their Tesla Mobile app
• Customers can download the Tesla mobile app once their Powerwall is installed and online
• It’s fully programmable, they can select between Self Powered or Backup Only mode
• They can also set the amount of energy Powerwall reserves in case of utility outages. In anticipation of bad weather, a homeowner can increase the reserve of Powerwall to power their home through an outage
• Many people are concerned about managing their power and energy usage during a power outage. Tesla’s mobile app will help customers see how much power they are consuming from Powerwall at any given moment in time.
