Powerwall

"it's an absolute game-changer" - tesla powerwall wins 2015 INDEX: award Tesla donated the Awarded 100.000 Euro to a Danish cultural institution, that will use the funds to install powerwalls in it's building.

Vector is the power line company in Auckland, New Zealand largest city. To evaluate the use of solar combined with the Tesla Powerwall they are giving away 100 free installations to Auckland residents and free power for 10 years. Its a pretty neat scheme. Its good to see New Zealand trialing...

PM Modi Directs Speeding up of Rural Electrification

I'd love to have home automation by Tesla. 17" touch screens in major rooms with controls for: Doors Lights Windows and curtains A/C Entertainment Appliances (make coffee from bed!) Pool/jacuzzi Security/cameras Car Auto-presenting door handles, automatic doors Solar panels and PowerWall...

G'Day. Here's a semi hypothetical question for you... I have read numerous comments telling me the Model S (in particular at the moment) is limited in its delivery due to a lack/shortage of batteries. Similar comments re the Model X as well, however, if this is in fact true, how is it that...

In today's annual shareholder meeting, Elon announced the PowerWall (not PowerPack, as far as I could tell) now supports 5kW power output with 7kW peak, instead of 2kW power output with 3.3kW peak. Price stays the same for over 2x output. "More power to you"! :biggrin: As a side note, Elon also...

I have a large home, but with careful energy auditing (lower power computer, TV, all LED bulbs, etc.) I've gotten my energy usage down to about 1500 kWh per month on average. My local utility doesn't provide any rebates, tax breaks, incentives, etc., so I'd get the 30% federal credit and if I...

One of the posters in the 70D-105D thread threw this idea out in passing, and I thought it might be worth more serious consideration. Generally when people talk about adding batteries to a modern EV, it just isn't practical - you have to match the ~400V output, and somehow deal with safely...

I own a Prius, aka a back-up generator ;) I've been wondering whether a PowerWall does not simplify the design of an off-grid, PV based, passivHaus spec'd home. The specifics of how often the generator is used depends on location and home demand, but I would appreciate advice and comments...

I'm interested in Powerwall for backup; in fact, I was one of the first to click and "order" one. After further research, it strikes me if you are going to buy Powerwall for backup you almost certainly should add a small solar system, even here in Houston where there are no local incentives and...

Tesla Powerwall Price DOES = $3,000 (Retail) Seeing that SolarCity was already marking it up 100%+ that had everyone worried that ROI was just tossed out the door. Well, good news, at least one of Tesla's partners (TreeHouse) will be selling the units at it's actual RETAIL PRICE of $3000...

It's been more than a week since Tesla unveiled its Powerwall battery system and they already received 38,000 reservations for the home system and 2,500 reservations for the much bigger, commercial-scale battery systems. Musk described the total demand as "more like 50,000 or 60,000” batteries...

http://denver.craigslist.org/vnn/5014062427.html No clue who this is but thought it was curious to see a post titled "Tesla Powerwall" on the denver craigslist news and event section. I was about to post a reward for my stolen key/phone/car which will most likely go nowhere but its a worth a...

Blog Post from a Solar Power Installer (my alternate title: How the Non-Tesla Faithful view the PowerWall): Elon Musk's 3-Biggest Powerwall Whoppers

I have not seen this question addressed by Tesla or mentioned in any article I have read about the Powerwall: Can a 7kWh and a 10kWh Powerwall be used together in a single installation? On a single inverter? Does the Powerwall BMS support them being used together? I assume the answer is "yes"...

"Tesla CEO says demand for energy storage systems has been overwhelming, after 38,000 Powerwall units ordered since product was announced" there may be some doubters, but there sure are $100m+ of early adopters already. Respect to Elon.

After closer consideration I decided to buy the Powerwall for my house in Florida. We don't have a natural gas service, so a generator is not an option. Solar is not an option due to hurricanes and low energy prices (12c per kWh). I will likely buy the 10kwh battery from solarcity for 7140$...

Today, I had a teleconference with my rep at SolarCity regarding the PowerWall. He gave me disappointing news. Earlier in the week I was told that they would only be installing the PowerWall for new customers. I would be considered a new customer if I added more panels to my existing...

just noticed this on the US website, it may have been there for a while as I usually am on the UK site, so apologies if restating this - - - Updated - - - maybe something is changing, it has just gone again. was at http://www.teslamotors.com/powerwall and its back again

Solar City just announced that Hawaii customers will be the first to get Tesla batteries in systems that take them completely off the grid: Don't expect to go off grid with new Tesla home battery just yet

So the Powerwall's got me thinking. I have an existing grid-tied solar system. I do not want to go off-grid, however, I would like to have a limited backup in case of emergencies or black outs. I don't need 7-10 kWh of storage or anything near that. All I need is to be able to power my fridge...

Let me start off by saying that the Power Wall combined with Solar is the best solution by far. However, if you're like me and you haven't converted to solar yet, I think investing in a Power Wall without Solar is still a very smart investment. Here's why: I have a separate meter for my car...

I was thinking about the Tesla PowerWall a lot today, and a lot of that has been in perspective of my own solar project that many of you have been keeping an eye on. So, prepare for a bit of a ramble... I think there is a large distinction that isn't readily made clear by the presentation and...

Will economics of new Tesla PowerWall product will work for you? 10 kW/h battery pack cost $3500, inverter cost $1000 and installation $500. How fast such $5k system pay for itself, assuming it stores 10kW/h buying them at cheapest(night) rate and lower your consumption during peak rate by 10 kW/h.

Interesting article in Forbes: Did Tesla Just Kill Nuclear Power? - Forbes A few quotes: “We all know that the wind doesn’t blow consistently and the sun doesn’t shine every day,” he said, “but the nuclear industry would have you believe that humankind is smart enough to develop techniques to...

Why isn't Tesla making hardware to use our cars as a storage? Supercharging is not a problem. Car could keep track on supercharging and disable using it as energy for house.

Mods: Please roll this into any other existing thread on the technical side of the Powerwall discussion... So, The PW is a 350V-400V DC battery. Put differently, it is a 10KW-Hr version of the MS battery. This tells me that there are inverter companies out there working with Tesla to do 400V...

Does this new product make sense in Ontario for people who are on the grid? I have looked into the Microfit program which allows you to install solar panels up to 10kW on your home and sell the power back into the grid for $0.384/kWh for twenty years. Given that is about 3-4X what you pay for...
