Tesla Energy

I am one of you who have a Powerwall reservation (whatever that means). However, I recently ran into this at a local trade fair: Fitcraft Energy energy storage Savebox HOME ~ Fitcraft Energy - energy storage I must say I am impressed. It includes a 6 or 8,5 kWh LiFe battery pack, an inverter...

PV Magazine Mobil: Western Australia's rooftop solar now state's 'biggest power station' One fifth of Western Australia (WA) homes have solar roof tops. Another fun fact from that article: the grid utility signed two and three decade dirty power contracts (coal & gas; during these solar...

Can someone explain this? Why does the usage mirror the solar output? That doesn't seem right. Did they hook me up incorrectly for this? The solar feed from the inverter is connected right at my main breaker and not at my breaker box where the amp flow sensor is. The Usage number would be...

When Tesla Energy launched on Apr 30 2015, the next day I sent them an email through the website requesting a Powerwall "reservation", or whatever they called it then. I heard nothing from Tesla Energy since that date, until last weekend I got an email asking me to fill out an online survey...

News to me at least. No more 10kWh powerwall. I'm looking forward to a new Tesla Energy product. Musk as a software guy must have something "up his sleeve". Tesla Powerwall

I just found that on TE's official website it's not 6.4 kWh, not 7 kWh. Anyone know anything going on?

just received an email this morning with a survey......anyone else receive this? or any known installations in process in the US?

Hi guys, This is my first thread on Tesla Motor Club, so enjoy and Elon, I really hope you will find this thread, I probably will notice and if not if will try other channels. This since I would like to present my idea in person and Tesla is the first company I would like to give a chance to...

Does anyone know if Supercharger sites have stationary battery storage to buffer the demand on the grid? I've heard some people discuss that there maybe the need for them, and it seems like a popular Supercharger site could have pretty high peaks in power draw. Thanks.

Probably no one has the info I'm looking for, but thought I would ask anyway since there does not seem to be a way to contact Tesla Energy and get this information. I am planning a solar system for my house and want to position the inverter on an outside wall and allow sufficient space for a...

Amnesty: Child labour behind smart phone and electric car batteries. Are batteries from Tesla/Toshiba involved?

Just found a cool article that has a timeline of the Gigafactory construction up to this point. Tesla gigafactory ahead of schedule, but off-track on job, investment projections

Hi, I am currently on a 4 kwh Solar City leased (20 year) system and reserved the Powewall. I have a Solar Edge inverter as well. Would I be able to use the Powerwall with my current leased inverter? Or, will I have to purchase a 2nd inverter for my system. If so, how much do they cost? I plan...

Reading about the canary cackle over in that Hawaiian island about his "frequency" problems with such big solar farms made me realize the grid marketplace is very behind in understanding the relationship between generators and users. The generators set the frequencies, waveforms, etc. (Failure...

Does the Free Powerwall from the Referral program include solar panels?

So... NRG Home $0.00 per kWh from 9PM to 6 AM. If I use 1500 kWh/month How long of using this + a power wall, until the power wall pays for it's self?! It's math time people! you know, that thing your teacher in 9th grade said would happen, and for the past 30 years... hasn't?! Well it's here...

Ok I "Won" the powerwall with the Tesla referral contest. I am not on the power company's time of Use program, but considering switching once I get the powerwall. Paying 11 cents kwh 24/7 now. If I switch I pay 6 cents off peak, 11 cents shoulder and 23 cents peak. I would obviously charge...

Green Mountain Power To Offer Tesla Powerwall Starting At $37.50 Per Month this deal looks bad for several reasons first, you have to share access...which means at any point when power cuts out who knows what the exact state of charge it will be at. second, even though they are using the...

Has this been covered? Source: The Guardian Also:

If you have a completely depleted Model S, how far can you get with a single power wall charge? (without grid or solar connections) Based on some quick maths, somewhere between 10 and 21 miles?

I've written a paper on how a 125 PowerPack deployment for what is basically energy arbitrage might look. I'd love any feedback. This is kind of an attempt to take the earlier post by deonb to a new level. Coming up with a 'model' to value it. I am an Industrial Engineer, not Electrical, so I'd...

I have been ready my whole life to live off grid and my sub $8 a month electric bill (not including the $20+ of fees) goes to show I am ready. I find it odd that people have trouble reducing their electric consumption, it was the easiest part, just means a different TV, PC and lighting use...

Considering Tesla is reported to have taken $800,000 of orders in the first week, and is sold out for 2016, financial expectations might well compare with the car business. 50,000 cars at $100 k each is revenue (not profit) of $4 billion. 100,000 Model 3 at $50k is also $4 billion. Powerwall...

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...

If you use the Powerwall as a power backup solution, you have to contend with the fact that it does indeed deliver backup power ... Starting about 5-10 seconds after the power goes out. So for certain things that you'd rather not have any power interruption for (like your computer, maybe your...

Interesting. I wonder how many power packs are supported by each inverter, and what it costs. Green Car Congress: Dynapower to supply 250kW energy storage inverters for Tesla Powerpack GSP

I have a family member who is running an HOA in South Africa, consisting out of around 800 fairly upscale homes. As some of you may know from the New York Times article over the weekend, South Africa has had rolling blackouts (load shedding) for the last few years, and is expected to have that...

SolarEdge’s StorEdge™ DC coupled storage solution allows home owners to maximize self-consumption and enables energy independence.

Wasn't expecting this in email this morning... It's a promo email sent to the email address I used only when signing up for interest in the PowerWall, so I could track how Tesla would use the address and who it'd be given out to. First, SolarCity contacted me on it. Now, Tesla Motors is...

The PowerWall is nice but, why not go completely off-grid? I'm exploring home solar/battery solutions and after reading all about the PowerWalls, I'm wondering, why not a single PowerPack and some solar panels? I'm burning about 27kWh per day on average (much of that to charge my S!). If the...

I received my email confirmation a couple weeks back. I'm curious to see who else received confirmation emails and what the date was that they received it. Maybe this can give me an idea of my position on the wait list? It was also interesting to note that they said, "When your...
