We recently installed a Tesla Powerwall Battery in a domestic House in Dublin. Please see our videos below of the installation process.
Tesla Powerwall Batteries are the latest technology been installed in homes all overall Ireland.
How does a Tesla Powerwall Battery Work?
The Tesla Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium-ion home battery that uses solar power to charge, but unlike most solar power sources, the Powerwall can store solar energy for use during the nighttime. The Powerwall is also a backup electricity power supply for your home.
Because homes typically consume more energy in the morning and evening rather than midday, when solar energy output is the highest, power companies often buy and sell excess energy multiple times a day. This practice increases carbon emissions. Powerwall makes solar energy more practical by allowing you to store it for future use whenever you need it.The Powerwall works with a solar panel installed on your roof and an inverter that converts current electricity from solar panels or a home battery into the alternating current used by your home’s lights, appliances and devices. The Powerwall battery stores the excess energy and energy from the utility grid when rates are low.
More important than how the Powerwall currently works (as the technology will likely be updated by the time the Powerwall is readily available to consumers) is what it signals for the future of renewable energy. Analysts as GSV Capital are predicting that Tesla’s move into the solar battery industry to be a watershed moment because it captures these 5 key trends driving global renewable energy:
1. Abundance: Solar energy is starting to look like a cheaper, more viable alternative to fossil fuels.
2. Storage: Batteries continue to get cheaper and better, proving the biggest criticism of solar power—that it’s unreliable—wrong.
3. Distribution: The PowerWall allows consumers not just to buy and use batteries, but to produce and store energy for future use.
4. Intelligence: Energy tech is starting to get the same treatment as every other digitized, highly intelligent aspect of our lives. Algorithms are starting to create an “energy internet.”
5. Financing: New financing sources are emerging to promote clean tech with incentives for consumers and businesses adopting greener consumption habits. Fast Company has covered the PowerWall by the numbers extensively.
Solar energy currently only accounts for half of a percent of the world’s total energy consumption, but the innovations signaled by Tesla, along with those 5 trends that solar energy companies are starting to tap into, is an exciting indicator that the future of renewable energy will be shining brightly, 24 hours a day.
