Benefits Of The Tesla Powerwall 2
Tesla Powerwall 2 allows you to store 14 kWh of energy and use that energy to run your home with solar during the night and back up your home in the event of a power outage. Tesla Powerwall 2 is compact, safe and includes a built-in battery inverter, which provides easier integration and over-the-air updates for new features and functions.
Self-power Your Home With Solar and Tesla Powerwall 2
A self-powered home is one that runs off solar and Tesla Powerwall 2, which gives you the ability to own your energy and reduce your reliance on the grid. With Tesla Powerwall 2, you can use more of your solar by storing the excess solar energy and using it at night, which roughly doubles the amount of solar energy that directly powers your home.
During a grid outage, by combining solar and Tesla Powerwall 2, you can extend your hours of backup power. Solar panels, when installed by themselves, are required to shut down during a power outage for grid safety. However, in combination with a Tesla Powerwall 2 system, solar panels can continue to operate during a grid outage and provide power to your home, as well as recharge the Tesla Powerwall 2 in a longer duration blackout.
Automatically Back Up Your Home During an Outage
Secure your home from a power outage with reliable backup power. Tesla Powerwall 2 is able to detect a grid outage, disconnect from the grid, and bring power back to your home in a fraction of a second. That is over 100x faster than typical standby generators, and fast enough to keep your appliances running without interruption. You will not have to reset your clocks or your alarm.
Our goal is to provide backup power to your entire home. However, depending on the type of appliances at your home, we may recommend an essential load backup instead of whole home backup.
Whole Home Backup
Your entire home is backed up by our recommended numbers of Tesla Powerwall 2. In some cases, an upgrade to your electrical panel may be needed, and we will advise you if this is the case.
Essential Load Backup
If your electrical situation doesn’t allow for a whole-home backup, we can backup select essential loads. Since lights and outlets require less energy, a single Tesla Powerwall 2 will typically be sufficient, and a secondary electrical panel is usually required.
Tesla Mobile App
Monitor and Optimize Your Energy
The Tesla app allows you to monitor your solar energy in real time. Set your preferences to optimize for energy independence, outage protection or savings. Support the grid when demand is high and during critical times, like when outages are likely, by sharing your excess energy. Control your system from anywhere with remote access and instant alerts.
Tesla Powerwall 2 Installation
The Tesla Powerwall 2 system consists of Powerwall 2 unit and an additional supporting component called the Backup Gateway. Both are connected to your home’s main electrical panel. The Gateway has built-in intelligence and communications, which feeds into the Tesla app to give you full visibility into your home energy usage. Depending on your choice of whole-home or partial-home backup, your main electrical panel may need to be upgraded.
