Your home is your safe haven. So, when a power outage occurs, your lights won’t turn on, your fridge turns off, and other appliances are unusable, the situation can be scary. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to keep everything in your house powered is extremely beneficial in cases like this. The Tesla Powerwall battery will keep your home’s power running even if your main power supply fails. So, how much power can a Tesla Powerwall store in the event of an outage? This system stores up to 13.5 kWh for 24/7 outage protection. Discover how the Tesla Powerwall works, as well as some of the system’s most impressive specs and features below. How Does The Tesla Powerwall Work? The Tesla Powerwall stores surplus energy that your home can use in the event of an outage. During the day, the Powerwall charges using the power of the sun since the solar panels are able to create more energy than your home is consuming. If an outage does occur, the Tesla Powerwall battery will detect and automatically switch over to work as your home’s source of power, so you can operate your appliances with absolutely no delay or disruption. However, the Tesla Powerwall can be used as more than just a back-up for potential outages. You can also use it to power your home at night using the power that was produced during the day. Additionally, the Tesla Powerwall comes equipped with the Back-up Gateway 2, giving the Powerwall the ability to provide an uninterruptible power supply. Unlike a typical solar power system, the Tesla Powerwall uses its Back-up Gateway 2 to connect to the grid, allowing the Powerwall to continue storing solar energy even during a power outage. Essential Load Back-Up vs. Whole Home Back-Up The Tesla Powerwall offers two back-up options: an Essential Load Back-Up or a Whole Home Back-Up. The option you choose depends on your personal preferences and the electronics you wish to back up. With a Whole Home Back-Up, you will install the number of Tesla Powerwalls recommended by the expert installer. This type of back-up will ensure that every appliance in your home is powered by the Tesla Powerwall. On the other hand, with the Essential Load Back-Up, you will typically install just one Tesla Powerwall to power your most important electronics, such as your refrigerator, computer, and select outlets. This type of back-up is an excellent option for those who want to opt for a more economical choice. What are The Tesla Powerwall’s Most Notable Specifications and Features?
