Tesla did build an electric car to reduce the emission of CO2, to reduce the exploitation of oil derivatives, but also to contribute to savings on fuel through the use of green electricity. Of course, then the questions began as to how much electric cars pollute because again, power plants now have to work more with each new electric car on the road.

Because everyone is interested in preserving the environment and because of the savings that people get by buying an electric car, Tesla invented the Powerwall. The Powerwall is actually a home battery that works in combination with solar panels.

The good thing is that the Powerwall is not only intended for charging electric cars, but also for home use. This battery is not only bought by those who have electric cars. You can buy a Powerwall first and save, and thus improve your home budget, but also save for the purchase of your first electric car. The battery is compatible with single-phase and three-phase installations. These are lithium-ion batteries that are large but flat, so they take up less space because they are mounted on the wall, just as flat-screen TVs. The height of this large battery is 130cm, width 86cm, and thickness only 18mm.

Its design allows several batteries to be installed in the house if there is a need for more power, but the installation can only be performed by trained service technicians. Installation is paid additionally and the price of installation isn't included in the price of the Powerwall.

How Does The Tesla Powerwall Work

The Powerwall can be mounted inside the house, or outside. These batteries are charged via solar panels that are placed on the roof of the house, that is, they are charged by solar energy.

It can be said that the Powerwall is a non-polluting electricity generator like other generators that run on fuel, so the Powerwall can be used in the event of a power outage, which most often occurs during bad weather. The Powerwall is actually a big battery that stores energy from the solar panels and it works on the same principal lithium batteries work.

Of course, since technology is still evolving at a very fast rate, all the devices we buy, we expect to be connected to some smart device so we can control them no matter where we are. You can connect the Powerwall to a smart device and you can see how charged the battery is, how fast it charges, but we can also see at the same time its consumption and the speed at which the stored energy will be consumed.

We have already mentioned how the Powerwall can be mounted externally, so the safety of such a battery is also in question. Tesla thought of everything as well as safety because these batteries are waterproof but also resistant to all weather conditions. The battery is resistant to temperatures from -20 C to plus 50 C. Also, they thought about the safety of children and pets, so there are no visible cables and wires to be afraid of. You can install the battery in the house where children and household pets live without worrying if they'll get injured.

How Long Will The Powerwall Last?

The Tesla Powerwall battery comes with a warranty of up to 10 years, so you don't have to worry about its operation and whether the battery will weaken quickly. The Powerwall is made so that the battery lasts a minimum of 10 years, but also longer with proper use and proper installation by authorized service technicians.

There is one more thing that bothers many, especially women who take into account the trends and appearance of the interior of the house, and that is the design of these large batteries. Also, the design and appearance were taken into account during the making, so that this battery will fit into every corner, with every furniture and all interior styles, so it will not spoil the look of your home. The look of the battery is made to look modern even when 10 years have passed since the purchase.

If you want to save in your home, but also save the environment, the Tesla Powerwall is definitely the right choice for you.
