Tesla Energy Unveils Powerwall 2

***As of March 2017, Tesla has cancelled DC Powerwall 2***

Following the success of their first-generation Powerwall, Tesla Energy has unveiled the highly anticipated Powerwall 2.

Offering double the energy of its predecessor at 14kWh, Powerwall 2 is compact, stackable and one of the most affordable lithium-ion batteries on the market.

Designed to provide clean, reliable solar energy when the sun isn’t shining, Powerwall 2 is perfect for homes and small businesses that want to utilise more of their excess solar energy, rather than export it to the grid for a small feed-in tariff.

Easy Installation

In addition to being dustproof and water resistant, Powerwall 2 is quick and easy to install, and can be positioned either inside or outdoors.

No Maintenance Required

Like the first-generation Powerwall, Powerwall 2 is completely automated, requires no ongoing maintenance, and is guaranteed for 10 years.

Up to nine Powerwall 2 units can be seamlessly stacked together, to increase the storage and power capacity to suit your home/business.

Backup Your Home

Power outages can be problematic for homes and a downright disaster for businesses. Whether an outage at your home or business is the result of severe weather, nearby construction, or network issues, Powerwall 2 can be installed in way to provide you with backup power.

Thanks to Powerwall 2’s larger capacity, this allows you to keep your lights, Wi-Fi and refrigerator running, regardless of what’s happening on the grid.

Smart and Safe Design

Thanks to its sleek finish, Powerwall 2 features no live wires or bulky vents, making it touch safe for the entire family. Plus, its liquid thermal control system constantly regulates Powerwall 2’s internal temperature, completely preventing any chance of overheating, and guaranteeing maximum performance in any climate.

With highly advanced monitoring capabilities, Powerwall 2 allows you to monitor your solar energy use in real-time, and receive alerts when it is preparing for overcast or extreme weather.

Cost Effective

Tesla has quoted the price of a 14kWh Powerwall battery starting at $8,000, with supporting hardware estimated at an additional $1,050, and installation ranging from $1,150 to $2,900, resulting in an estimated total of $10,200 $11,950.

This price has drastically reduced the payback period when compared to the first-generation Powerwall, and at Infinite Energy we’re excited to see batteries becoming more and more viable within an Australian context.

Installations are set to begin in February 2017, and as an Authorised Reseller, Infinite Energy is excited to be able to provide this revolutionary product to Australian residents.
