Is Tesla Powerwall Worth the Cost?
January 9th, 2024
Tesla Powerwall solar batteries have quickly become one of the most sought-after products in the solar industry. Homeowners in California and throughout the entire country are dying to get their hands on a Powerwall and won’t settle for any other brand. But are they really worth the cost?
At Taylor Energy, we believe that they are. While there are more affordable solar battery systems available, Tesla solar batteries outperform most of them and are one of the best solar batteries on the market today.
Keep reading to learn more about Tesla Powerwall costs and why we believe it’s worth investing in a Tesla Powerwall for solar battery backup.
Benefits of Tesla Powerwall Solar Batteries
Tesla Powerwall is a solar battery system, which means it can store the excess power your home solar panels produce for later use. Powerwall, like any solar battery, will provide backup power during an outage and allow you to tap into stored solar energy at night or during times of high electricity usage to reduce your reliance on PG&E. But Tesla Powerwall provides additional benefits that you won’t get from just any solar battery.
High Storage Capacity
Tesla Powerwall solar batteries can store more electricity than almost any other solar battery currently available. Most solar batteries have a storage capacity of about 10 kWh. Tesla Powerwall batteries have a storage capacity of 13.5 kWh. The more storage capacity your battery has, the more power you can store and the longer your battery will last during an outage.
Easy Monitoring & Optimization with the Tesla App
The Tesla app makes it easy to monitor your solar battery and optimize it based on your backup power needs. You can use the app to optimize your battery for savings during on-peak hours, ensuring you switch to battery power while grid prices are high. When the power goes out, you can easily control the loads by switching off or on individual circuit breakers within the critical load panel to maximize the length of time their batteries will last during a power outage to maximize your stored energy.
10-Year Warranty
Tesla solar batteries are backed by a 10-year product warranty that guarantees at least 70% storage capacity at the end of the 10-year warranty period. This warranty does not have a cycle limit, which means your battery can charge and discharge an unlimited number of times without sacrificing coverage.
Sleek Design
Tesla Powerwall solar batteries don’t just perform well—they also look beautiful. If you want a battery that’s going to look sleek and high-tech in your home, a Powerwall is the best choice. Tesla batteries have a compact, all-in-one design with no hot vents or exposed wires. “They can be mounted on the exterior of the house and in a garage or basement that has a sprinkler system installed”.
How Much Does a Tesla Powerwall Cost?
Tesla Powerwall is one of the most advanced solar energy storage systems on the market, which is reflected in its cost. Installing two Tesla Powerwalls—the recommended amount of storage for most homes—typically costs between $30,000 and $33,000. This amount can vary depending on the particulars surrounding your backup power needs and your home’s electrical system. To provide an accurate price estimate, we will need to perform a site visit so we can conduct a proper assessment. This is a free service and the first step in any solar panel and battery installation.
Tesla Powerwall Qualifies for a 30% Federal Tax Credit
The federal solar tax credit can help you save on solar panel and battery installation costs. Tesla solar batteries are eligible for the federal solar tax credit, which reduces your federal tax liability by 30% of your solar panel and/or battery installation costs for the year you install your system.
