![]() This can further save bills and provide energy independence. Instead it get stored for later consumption. No energy gets wasted from your solar system. However, if you are producing more than 15.2kWh and it’s being sent to the grid, then why not look to start to store that power and become independent? You can save even more money, and pay off your system and powerwall within a reasonable time frame. You can check this by looking at your energy bills to see how much power is being sent to the grid by your system. Taking this into consideration, if your solar system is not generating more than 15kWh in the winter months then you shouldn’t bother investing in a Tesla powerwall 2. The capacity of the powerwall is 13.5kWh, so instead you may have to generate 15.2kWh to cover any energy lost and provide a full charge. So to fully charge the powerwall 2 you will have to actually generate more than the capacity to cover any energy that is lost. So Tesla has stated that the powerwall has a round efficiency trip of 90%, this means that when energy enters and leaves the battery some is lost. So let me run through how to work this out to see if your system or future system is worth combining with a powerwall.Īlso, just to note that if you have a small solar panel system, it’s really not worth installing a powerwall because of the cost as well as the fact it may struggle to fully charge it. This is really important to work out before you invest in a tesla powerwall 2. With its advanced software the powerwall can show you exactly how much energy is being generated, where it’s going (home, storage or grid) and if there are any issues with your battery or system. A Tesla powerwall can store up to 13.5kWh of energy which is more than enough to power a home over night, until the sun charges it again. It does not generate energy, but instead stores the power from your solar panels. This stored solar power will allow you to stop pulling energy from the grid and save money. This could be at night, during the day or even on cloudy days. This makes it much easier for installation, and means you don’t require forking out for a new hybrid inverter.Īny energy that is stored in your powerwall, can be used again when you next need it. It doesn’t need to be added to your solar panels or inverters but instead can be connected up to your main switchboard. Tesla’s powerwall 2 is a solar battery that stores any power that is generated from your solar panels. It’s designed to store excess energy generated by solar panels or directly from the grid, providing homeowners with a stable power supply even during outages. The Powerwall 2 is the latest home battery solution from Tesla, offering an impressive 13.5 kWh of usable electricity. The Tesla Energy Plan helps homeowners a lot, which I explain more here: Tesla virtual power plant. Lastly, Tesla has the biggest virtual power plant across Australia which is located in South Australia and Victoria. You can find out what they are, and if you’re eligible here: Solar rebates. If you would like to know what to consider when buying a solar battery then I have a full guide here.Īdditionally, there are some cool rebates available for homeowners to get a large incentive for buying a battery. Well let’s go into detail and find out if a Tesla powerwall 2 is worth all the hype, or if it’s just an overpriced home battery. Should I choose the battery rebate over the solar panel rebate? Should I consider getting a solar battery for my home? ![]() Įveryday I get asked, which is the best solar battery in Australia? Also, if you’re interested in finding out if a powerwall is worth it then read my blog here. I will even go back to the basics and answer all of the questions for you. Most of you will want to know if it’s actually any good. So I wanted to share my review on the Powerwall 2 from an honest personal experience. Having installed hundreds of powerwalls in my time, I have quite a lot of experience with Tesla’s product. As solar batteries become more affordable, (and they will) there is a bright future ahead for the industry. It’s not stopping there either, they are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners. Since 2016, powerwalls have blown up quite a bit in Australia. Usually it’s between the powerwall and the LG chem, and most people seem to decide on the powerwall. Tesla Powerwall 2 is the most popular solar battery that we sell in Australia. ![]()
