The Powerwall was introduced in 2015 as Powerwall 1 with limited production. A larger model—Powerwall 2—went into mass production in early 2017 at Tesla's Giga Nevada factory, with a more capable model with an internal DC–to–AC inverter—Powerwall 3—entering production in late 2023. As of May 2021, Tesla had installed 200,000 Powerwalls.
Two Tesla Powerwall 2 devices in a "stacked" configuration at a home in New York. The Tesla Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery energy storage device intended to be used for home energy storage. The current generation Powerwall 2 is capable of storing 13.5 kilowatt-hours for solar self-consumption, time of use load shifting, and ...
In 2016, SolarCity ran a pilot project to test a grid backup resource by installing GridLogic software and 10-kilowatt-hour Tesla Powerwall battery packs in 500 California homes. [69] [70] [71] This concept was also tested in Vermont. [72]
The combined delivery of storage (Powerwall and Megapack) was 6.5 GWh in 2022, 14.7 GWh in 2023, and 31.4 GWh in 2024. [9] In 2023, Tesla announced a new “Megafactory” in Shanghai to manufacture Megapacks, with the goal of producing about 10,000 packs per year, [10] and the factory started low rate initial production in late 2024.
