No one outside of Tesla knows yet.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?

According to my sources it will not be made with any Giga Factory cells but will use Samsung cells inside. Also it will be an all in one unit, so including an inverter inside the unit. Elon Musk made an announcement a while ago that they will make an inverter for the Powerwall. It just remains to be seen if the inverter in PW 2.0 is already a Tesla self developed one or if they buy this from a 3rd party. And if they buy from a third party my bet would be on Fronius.
End user differences should include a higher cycle life and a higher price for the unit, however a lower price for the overall install.
Tesla has a great deal of expertise in making inverters for vehicles which likely would be transferable to making inverters for solar systems. I expect them to produce a PV inverter inhouse.It just remains to be seen if the inverter in PW 2.0 is already a Tesla self developed one or if they buy this from a 3rd party.

Clearly the Powerwall enclosure will have to change if an inverter is included. Having the storage batteries and inverter inside one enclosure will reduce installation costs. My Powerwall / solar installation looks rather Rube Goldbergish and took a lot of labor time to layout and connect up.I'm not sure why they would put the inverter inside the unit. The inverter is sized to the panels, and also makes heat.

BTW, what is the white box with the red trapezoid in the lower right of the picture? There are no labels on the conduit going to it from the inverter.
It doesn't look smaller on this leaked image from reddit:
I currently have a simple PV system with no battery storage. It has a SolarEdge inverter. With the new power wall with integrated inverter does it mean my solar array will just connect directly to the power wall and the existing solaredge inverter will be ditched?
Integrated inverter? Double the capacity? Nice. I already have a solar system though. I wonder if this can be plug and play with existing systems? I doubt it, but hope springs eternal.
