Here in Wollongong we have beautiful weather, perfect for solar panels to absorb energy from the sun and power your home, but what if you are not home much during the day, when solar is at its most efficient?
Tesla has completely changed the game with sustainable energy and power solutions with their Powerwall 2, sleek, slim and quiet battery storage systems. As technology advances Solahart can help businesses and households access global state-of-the-art auxiliary power and sustainable energy resources right here in Wollongong.
As well as making residential and commercial batteries less expensive, easier to install and easier to maintain, Tesla Powerwall 2 provides incredible flexibility around how you choose to use energy.
The real benefit to these batteries is achieving more from your solar panel setup. This is especially helpful for families who may not be at home much during the sunny daylight hours due to work and school commitments. Rather than let all that solar energy go to waste, you can use it to charge your Tesla Powerwall 2 battery and maximise solar power generation by switching to the battery reserve power at night.
Even if you don’t have solar panels, Tesla Powerwall 2 battery storage systems can be a business owner’s best friend, acting as an emergency backup power generator if there is a blackout. You can charge your battery from the grid to have standby power ready to go.
You don’t need to be on the premises to activate it, the Tesla Powerwall 2 is intelligent enough to switch itself on in emergency power situations to give you quiet and efficient power to your fridges or essential tech, until mains power is restored.
The batteries are designed for easy and fast installation, full automation and zero maintenance.
First generation home batteries were bulky, expensive to install and expensive to maintain.
In contrast, the Tesla Powerwall 2 lithium ion battery inherits Tesla’s proven automotive battery technology to power your home and/or business safely and economically.
It enables you to maximise self-consumption of solar power generation by replacing electricity from the grid with stored energy from your PV system after the sun goes down. It is easy to install, completely automated and requires no maintenance.
Tesla Powerwall 2 AC is a battery system ideal for existing solar power (PV) systems.
Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack provides energy storage for solar self-consumption, load shifting, and backup power.
It also comes with a built-in inverter.
We’d be happy to share some more information with you too. Please get in touch below.
As well as giving you access to your stored energy as you need it, you can also see and monitor your energy storage and consumption in real-time through the app.
This enables you to set your preferences to optimise your energy efficiency, costs or blackout protection, or you can allow the Powerwall’s intelligent programming to take care of everything for you.
With time-based control, remote access and instant alerts you have the power of your battery storage at your fingertips.
Tesla Powerwall 2 is a highly advanced lithium-ion based battery system with simple connection to any home or building. It has double the capacity of the previous Powerwall and is the only battery of its kind to incorporate internal cooling.
The liquid thermal management system enables it to maintain effective operations across a wide range of temperatures from -20 to +50°C, giving it more life and better reliability than any other battery on the market.
It’s quiet enough and compact enough to fit inside your home or garage, either mounted on the wall or floor for maximum energy density for efficient clean power. The IP67 casing makes it completely dust and weatherproof so you can install it outside if that is a better fit for your property and leave it maintenance free for the next ten years.
A Tesla Powerwall 2 can run all your household appliances including your air conditioner. When charged the battery can provide 13.5kWh of energy, enough to power a standard home in blackout conditions for 13-17 hours.
Of course the exact duration of battery power to your home will depend on how much energy you draw and how energy efficient your appliances are, however, with the right Tesla Powerwall 2 set up, it is possible for you to be self-sufficient and go completely off the grid, for good.
Harnessing solar power has been difficult in the past. Power batteries in previous years have been big, expensive and unreliable, which is why Tesla Powerwall 2 battery storage systems are so exciting.
While some energy companies will buy your unused solar power back, it’s not always an option and you may not like being reliant on the grid at night or during a power outage, when house lights are on and TVs and computers are running, all without the help of the sun.
While power outages don’t happen frequently, for businesses they can be devastating to certain industries and inconvenient for just about everyone. Having reliable power around the clock is essential, especially if you are powering refrigerators and freezers which can guzzle electricity, even with solar equipment on your roof. You need reliable and consistent power to keep your business running, no matter what.
The Tesla Powerwall 2 battery gives you more flexibility in how you use your excess solar energy and helps you further reduce your reliance on grid power by accessing stored energy for those times when solar energy might not be available.
Solahart professional installation will make sure your Powerwall is installed safely and correctly at your Wollongong property to increase the value you get from your solar panels. If you already have solar panels in use and want to get the most out of them when the sun goes down, it may be possible to fit a Tesla Powerwall 2 straight into your existing system, if not, we can make it work with some easy modifications.
You don’t need to get your complete solar fitting done at the same time. If you are thinking about installing solar now and getting the battery installed down the track, Solahart Wollongong can absolutely make sure you have everything set up to include the battery option for when you are ready.
For those who need to draw a lot of power, such as a light commercial business or a larger home, it is possible to stack your Powerwall batteries so you can access even more power from your solar or grid charge.
This is especially helpful for businesses where one battery just isn’t enough to give you off the grid benefits. The Tesla Powerwall 2 is a battery system you can “stack” and link, giving you access to a much larger power supply and enabling you to have power when you need it, for as long as it’s needed.
Home batteries like the Tesla Powerwall 2 allow you to maximise the use of your solar power and minimise your energy bills by storing excess electricity produced during the day for use at other times.
