As Boulder continues its shift to clean energy sources like solar power, curious customers (and future The Solar Revolution customers) are starting to ask more questions about solar plus storage. After all, if the majority of solar power occurs during the day, and most people are at work during the day, people want to maximize their investment and use the solar power their panels are creating. Enter the best solar storage batteries: Tesla Powerwall.
What Is the Tesla Powerwall and How Does It Work?
The Tesla Powerwall is a backup power system that stores your solar panels' excess energy. This solar battery can work alongside your solar inverters or as a standalone unit. Regardless of how you set up the Powerwall, you can utilize the battery storage system and the Powerwall app to store the excess energy your panels produce when rates are low and discharge them when rates increase.
How long does a Tesla Powerwall last?
The average lifespan of a Tesla Powerwall is about 20 years. However, this length can vary depending on how much you use your battery. If you don’t use your Powerwall daily and take proper care of it, it can last 25-plus years.
How many Tesla Powerwalls do I need?
A U.S. home consumes an average of 886 kWh of energy per month. On that note, one Tesla Powerwall can typically provide that home’s required backup power needs. This is the reason it’s called the Best Solar Storage Batteries.
What can I power with a Tesla Powerwall?
You can power almost anything with a Tesla Powerwall — as long as it requires electrical energy (including your electric vehicle [EV]).
How long does it take to charge a Tesla Powerwall, where to install it, and why it's among the Best Solar Storage Batteries?
A standard 7.6 KW Powerwall can fully charge in ideal conditions in two hours. Most solar specialists recommend installing your Powerwall in a non-living space inside your home, preferably (and most commonly) the garage. Other ideal installation locations are in an unfinished basement or work room.
How long is the wait for a Tesla Powerwall?
Contact The Solar Revolution to find the timeline for getting the Best Solar Storage Batteries. Getting a Powerwall requires design considerations and installation permits. The process typically takes a couple of weeks.
