Tesla Powerwalls
We Are A Proud Certified Tesla Powerwall Installer in Michigan
The Tesla Powerwall is a rechargeable battery storage system for your home. It is designed to store excess energy generated from your home's solar panels, or from the grid during off-peak hours, and then release it back into the home during times of need, such as when the sun is not shining or during a power outage. The Tesla Powerwall is capable of providing automatic backup power to a home in the event of a power outage.
The Tesla Powerwall is a good option for homeowners who want to reduce their dependence on the grid and save money on electricity bills by using stored solar energy.

How Does a Tesla Powerwall Work?
The Tesla Powerwall gives you the ability to store energy for later use. Each system is equipped with energy monitoring, metering and smart controls for you to customize according to your needs. The system will learn and adapt to your energy use over time.
Installed with Solar Panels
During the day your solar panels will send any unneeded energy to your Tesla Powerwall keeping it charged each day. The Powerwall will retain that energy until you need it, such as during an outage or even at night.
The next day, when the sun rises and the solar array resumes energy production, the Powerwall will recharge, storing any additional unneeded energy to be used as needed later on.

Tesla Powerwall Specifications & Details
The Tesla Powerwall is a DC energy storage system with a usable capacity of 13.5 kilowatt-hours per Powerwall. If more energy is needed, multiple Powerwalls can be installed in parallel.
Since most homes run on AC power Tesla has attached an inverter to the battery pack turning the DC power into AC to power your home. This inverter can push out AC power at 7kW peak or at a 5Kw continuous rate.
By bundling more Powerwalls you can increase the power draws to your home. The inverter will turn AC power into DC power when it comes time to charge your battery again.
