The Tesla Powerwall 2 battery is a home energy storage system manufactured by Tesla, Inc. It was released in October 2016 as an upgraded version of the original Powerwall.
The Powerwall 2 has an energy storage capacity of 13.5 kWh, making it one of the largest home batteries on the market. It is designed to store energy generated by solar panels or when electricity prices are lower and supply power to the home at night or at times of high demand.
In addition to its storage capacity, the Powerwall 2 is also capable of providing backup power in the event of a power outage, making it a solution for energy resilience. It can automatically detect a blackout and switch to supplying battery power within milliseconds.
The Powerwall 2 comes with a 10-year warranty and is grid compatible to allow the sale of stored energy to the power company (depending on local regulations). It can also be integrated with other Tesla products, such as solar panels and electric vehicles, to create a complete and sustainable energy system.
In short, the Tesla Powerwall 2 battery is a home energy storage solution that makes the most of renewable energy, provides backup power, and reduces dependence on the traditional electrical grid.
