Powerwall

I live in one of the most regressive states (Alabama) in the US when it comes to solar power. The net metering is only at the wholesale price which is about 1/3 the residential rate of ~ $ .095 kWh. There is also a fee of $5 per installed solar kWh per month to be connected to the grid as a...

[crossposting from the very quiet Tesla Energy forum] I'm installing a 50amp 240v circuit powering a HPWC and I'm looking at installing a Powerwall 2 in the coming months as well. My main panel is 125 amps and doesn't have the capacity for an additional circuit required for a Powerwall. So my...

I'm installing a 50amp 240v circuit powering a HPWC and I'm looking at installing a Powerwall 2 in the coming months as well. My main panel is 125 amps and doesn't have the capacity for an additional circuit required for a Powerwall. So my question is, since the v2 HPWCs are smart and can share...

I find this hard to believe. Same price for a Powerwall 2 with or without inverter? You would would think that Tesla would want to upsell potential combos by making the second one you buy without an inverter more affordable. The New Tesla Powerwall Is Actually Two Different Products Anyone...

Energy costs are highly variable regionally. Hawaii and any island is expensive, same with Australia, Japan and Denmark. Does anyone have some math for the extent of markets that are cost effective for batteries today and cost requirements for cheaper energy markets? Here's a list of costs by...

I am considering buying and installing a few Powerwalls at my home. I haven't seen anything specific from Tesla, but are they offering or planning to offer any financing options that anyone may be aware of?

I'm about to sign a deal with SolarCity for a 10kW PV system with 3 Powerwalls. I am hopeful this will enable solar self-consumption as well as provide backup power for my whole home. I have not found any information on how the Powerwalls get connected. Are the outputs combined together, or will...

Hello all, In my MyTesla page, my PowerWall 2 reservations are missing as of today or the last few days. Has anybody else experienced this? Or is this unique to my MyTesla page? Thank you.

Moderators, This happened: Are you sure it's off topic? We should ask the moderator. Well, I guess that went fast, since that's you. --- So, I see there is a TM MS, MX, M3 and Roadster forum. Now, we should think about a TE PW, Roofing and Retro forums. That way, those topics don't get...

This question is for those owners who made 5+ referrals and were awarded a free Powerwall last year. In February we received an email with a link to the survey asking us to choose between 1) Powerwall with installation at some future date or 2) $3,500 Tesla credit. I originally chose the...

Updated Referral Program Awards We’ve made some exciting updates to our referral program awards. Owners with 7 or more qualifying referrals will receive an exclusive red Founders Series Powerwall 2.0, hand signed by Elon Musk, JB Straubel, and Franz von Holzhausen. This award is not available...

Hey everybody, I'm writing a research paper for a marketing class at Saint Louis University and I created this survey to collect some data on Tesla. If you could take it, it would really help me out with my project. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes at the most! LINK: Tesla Questionnaire...

I'm putting this post in the investor section because I want to focus on Tesla's strategy. Examining that strategy will require discussing the technology. Some thoughts: 1) The pricing suggests that Tesla intends to sell a whole lot of this model to achieve economies of scale, or just a few. It...

Will you eventually buy Tesla EV, Powerwall and Glass Solar Roof?

Vraagje aan de vele Belgen met zonnepanelen én kennis van elektriciteit op dit forum: prosumententarief kennen we, maar hoe zou de aanschaf van Powerwall 2 anno 2016 hier kunnen spelen (in de hypothese: wagen laadt 's nachts, en overdag dekken de zonnepanelen doorgaans onze consumptie, en soms...

From the spec it shows that the PowerWall 2 supports the following modes: Solar self-consumption Time of use load shifting Backup Off grid I am hoping that the powerwall can do a combination of the above at the same time. I would like my powerwalls to charge to 70% overnight for "Time of use...

S/X jump from 60 to 75 kwh for $8500. Powerwall 2 packs 14 kwh in for only $5500. With basically a year til M3's start hitting the road, it seems reasonable to consider that a similar 15 kwh jump might be $5500 or less for the M3.

Hi I placed my order way back in April, I know, first deliveries will start sometime end of 2017, and it will start in West Coast first before it goes to East coast, so I am expecting sometime early 2019, I hope. Going back to my subject line, I have a lot of time to do this but do I need one?

Just signed up for 4 of the new Powerwall 2. A lot I don't know, but appears not a lot of published info available so hopefully signing up will lead to an informed decision. Would really like to learn how to integrate these batteries. Currently live totally off grid on the Big Island of Hawaii...

I don't have a good financial case for getting a Powerwall when I have solar installed. I was wondering if a solar to grid inverter is still needed if you have the Powerwall 2.0 or if the panels use the Powerwall's inverter? If it does that reduces the marginal cost of the powerwall by 1-2k.

I totally understand that individuals -- with expert taste and capital to apply to this taste -- will hire great architects to incorporate such Tesla advances into an individual project, but... ... what about the "...80% of the new homes built in the United States..."? Residential Building...

Does comparing the specs of Powerwall 1 against Powerwall 2 tell us anything useful about the Model 3 battery and 2170 cells? Dimensions (L x W x D) PW1: 52.1" x 33.9" x 7.1" (130cm x 86cm x 18cm) => 201,240 cm3 PW2: 44" x 29" x 5.5" (115cm x 75.5cm x 15.5cm) => 134,578 cm3 Based on the...

Does anyone here know what you would have to do to install Powerwall 2 in a grid-tie solar system and also use it for the disaster backup scenario? I understand that Powerwall 2 has an included inverter, but that is used to convert the DC output of the batteries to AC. The input to charging the...

I was unable to get a Powerwall1 due to my Enphase. Does anybody know if Powerwall2 will work with them?

Blijkbaar opvallend weinig animo hier voor de presentatie vannacht? Wat mij alvast is opgevallen is dat er (nog) plaats is voor softwareintegratie. -Zoals laden wanneer de zon schijnt als je thuis bent. -Meer rechtstreekse dc-integratie. ... Esthetisch wel heel mooie producten, maar mis...

Pardon my ignorance, but I have yet to enter the world of electric vehicles and know little about charging. I'm patiently waiting for the model 3. It seems like the synergy Elon spoke about with these systems would mean that the cars could ideally charge overnight from the stored solar energy...

I want to want the new Powerwall. But none of the use cases add up for me (all estimates based on buying two Powerwalls for $13,000): 1) Time of use load shifting I have an EV pricing plan from Dominion Virginia. Off-peak power is ~4c per kWh, on-peak power is ~8c per kWh. Assuming I can...

Hello everyone, Have placed an order for 4 Powerwall 2.0s as I have a 12.6kW Sunpower Solar System. Wondering what are the advantages of Powerwall/Battery Storage as long as I have Net Metering? Can anyone think of any uses apart from Backup in Power Outages?

Not a criticism, just a question. It takes a pretty big solar array to charge 14kwh.

The new Powerwall 2.0 basically double both power output (kw), and capacity (kwh) of the previous version of Powerwall. AND, it now include an inverter (DC to AC conversion) fully integrated inside the Powerwall 2.0. One of them costs $5500 USD. Are you ordering Powerwall 2.0? More info...

Company in Toronto doing the installs. Sounds like it's totally turn-key. He's emailing me a pkg to look at. Guessing it's too pricy to make sense, but we will see. I'd be using it for load sharing and battery backup. There was some savings for going with two, as they can share the same inverter.

Tesla’s ‘solar roof’ event will be live-streamed from Universal Studios on Friday, more hints from the invite Thoughts about the upcoming event on Oct. 28th? Hoping for quick discharge abilities for the new Powerpack 2.0 so that you can get a days worth of miles in 10-15 minutes.

I assume that Powerwall 2.0 will be made with larger gigafactory cells by a new automated process. But how will it be different for the end user? Price?

Here's the latest SolarEdge/PowerWall brochure showing a whole bunch of new configurations including dual PowerWalls, backup only PowerWall, AC coupling with existing inverter, etc...

Motley Fool (which admits it owns shares of Tesla) and normally talks up Tesla (their cars, the Gigafactory, the game-changing aspect of the business, self-driving) has done a error strewn and pretty negative piece on the Powerwall accusing Musk of false claims about the Powerwall's cycle life -...

I would like to hear from other Powerwall users with solar regarding how they programmed their SolarEdge inverter to draw energy from the Powerwall. For about the first month of operating my Powerwall I set it to "Max Self Consumption". That can be done through the inverter screen interface I...

for those who are interested in. The apps that monitor all the energy usage is quite interesting.

So a little background....I'm building a house (DFW area), which should have been finished earlier this year, but, it's not, maybe by the end of the year.... Anyway, I got a quote from a local installer last year, which was fine, however since then the Powerwall has become available in Texas...

My parents are considering a solar project at their house, they both have CPAP/BIPAP machines, and find it very difficult to sleep without them. They've had enough power outages lately, that I suggested they look into a solar grid connected backup system for their house, have a battery for...

Thank you for the information! I have a couple of questions: 1) Can you tell me if Powerwall is capable of accepting 110/120 VAC input from a small portable generator to charge the batteries, such as, during a natural disaster? 2) What's the minimum input level from the PV string? For example...

Testing: Results – Lithium Ion Battery Test Centre Pricing: How Tesla battery storage compares with rivals on prices

My solar system install is in progress. All the panels are mounted on the roof, the inverter and other components are mounted inside my garage and the Powerwall was brought to my house today. It will be mounted today, everything connected up and tested, and if all goes well this week a SolarEdge...

OK, in this video of the Gigafactory tour at 30:00 the tour guide tells us that each Powerwall consists of a "pod". Each pod consists of 2 modules. A Powerpack consists of 16 pods or 32 modules. He states the module of 14x32 cells is the same form factor that is used in the model S. He later...

Does Powerwall come with an inverter and a way to energize only specific circuits if a grid connection is dropped?

At the Gigafactory event I spoke with someone in the upper levels of Tesla Energy (no I won't reveal their name, but definitely an authoritative source) who told me that they have received about 160,000 Powerwall reservations in the US since the Powerwall launch in May 2015. I was amazed by the...

FYI, a local Texan Powerwall distributor is hosting their launch party. Details here: Powerwall Launch Party Thursday July 21, 6:00pm - 8:00pm Powerwall is ready to launch. You have a chance to join us in celebrating this exciting new era of energy efficiency! We still have a few spots...

I referred 5 people to buy the Model S back when they started the referral program and back when they gave you $1,000 per referral. I got my $5,000 in Tesla credit immediately, but I never got any free Powerwall or Gigafactory invite that they promised me for getting 5 referrals. So, did anyone...
