This is at USFSP's parking garage in downtown St. Petersburg Florida. The baterry system is massive. About 7 feet tall. I've been at this location a few times and never knew it was a Tesla Powerpack until they put the posters up the within the past day or two. The Powerpack may have been there awhile. I didn't know about the solar panels, so why would I be on the lookout for batteries.
This battery looks identical to the ~0.5 mWh systems that tesla uses at the superchargers and tesla factory in other words, I don't think this is the new generation "powerpack" design.
It may just be a case of rebranding and repackaging though. Tesla's been validating these for quite a while at the factory as well as at installations such as these. They've just made it all official with the Power* announcement.
The small clear pouch on the front of the pack has a red Tesla logo on the top left. I'll take my 55-300 lense with me the next time I'm near there and get some info from the packet. Maybe I'll get a drone and take some spy pics beyond the fence. :wink:
Yeah, that's not a single PowerPack. All the pictures of the PowerPack makes it look like a 19" server rack, filled with batteries.
Those are 500kWh units and were shown just to prove a point (this entire evening is powered by stored sunlight). The 100kWh PowerPack looks like this:
