What is a Powerwall？
The Powerwall, introduced by Tesla in April 2015, is a 6.4kWh floor or wall-mounted battery pack that utilizes rechargeable lithium-ion technology. It is specifically designed for residential energy storage solutions, enabling the efficient storage of solar or grid energy for household consumption. Over time, it has undergone advancements and now exists as Powerwall 2 and Powerwall plus (+), which also known as Powerwall 3. Now it offers Powerwall capacity options of 6.4kWh and 13.5kWh respectively.

Working Step |
Working Principle |
|
|
1 |
Energy storage stage |
When solar panels or the grid supply power to the Powerwall, it converts this electricity into direct current and stores it within itself. |
|
2 |
The power output stage |
When the home requires electricity, the Powerwall converts stored energy into alternating current and supplies it through the household circuit to power household appliances, effectively fulfilling the family's basic electricity needs |
|
3 |
Intelligent management |
The Powerwall has an intelligent control system that optimizes energy usage and storage based on a home's needs, local electricity prices, and other factors. It automatically charges during low grid prices to store more energy and prioritizes using stored energy during high prices or power outages. |
|
4 |
Backup power supply |
In the event of a power outage or emergency, the Powerwall can automatically switch to a backup power supply, ensuring continuous electricity supply to the home and meeting its basic energy needs. |
