How it Works
In typical solar systems, solar panels produce energy that feeds into your home’s power supply and back into the grid. The Powerwall stores excess energy, allowing it to be used at night or during cloudy days, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering electric bills.
Advantages of Battery Storage
- Rapid discharge rates, handling large power surges
- Ability to fully discharge, reducing monitoring needs
- Long-term cost savings over the battery’s lifespan
- Zero maintenance required
- Wide temperature operation range from -5℉ to 122℉
Tesla Powerwall Specs
Large Capacity
A single Powerwall unit has a 13.4 kWh capacity. For reference, the average home in Hawaii uses 18.5kWh per day, meaning a fully charged Powerwall can provide over 17 hours of off-grid energy for a typical home.
This capacity means your battery storage can easily provide you enough electricity to make it through the night completely off-grid, provide power through extended power outages, and give you peace of mind knowing that your solar system is working at maximum capacity.
Scalable to the Size You Need
If you need even more power, multiple Powerwall units can be combined to increase their capacity. Up to 10 units can be linked together, providing a stunning 134 kWh of usable battery storage. This combination is an excellent solution for residential or commercial customers who use substantial power and can’t afford downtime.
Indoor and Outdoor Rated
The Powerwall can be installed inside or outdoors. It is completely weatherproof, meaning it can sustain years of sunshine, rain, dirt, hail, sleet, or snow. It has both an Ingress IP67 waterproof rating and a NEMA 3R rating for electrical enclosures.
Safe Design
Despite its large capacity for energy storage, the Powerwall is designed to be safe to the touch. There are no exposed wires or hot air vents, meaning you can rest assured that it won’t pose a danger to your family or pets.
Works with Existing Solar Systems in Hawaii
People who already have panels can install battery storage long after their installation. Powerwalls can be added to existing solar systems or incorporated in a new solar panel setup. We can add battery storage to your system even if we didn’t install your panels and will ensure that all of your solar components can work together properly.
Monitor Your Battery Status
The Powerwall can be monitored with the easy-to-use Tesla app. The app allows you to monitor your battery usage, customize your battery settings for individualized savings, and receive alerts before severe weather events.
With 24/7 connectivity, you’ll always know your battery’s state of charge and be aware of how much power you have remaining before needing to revert to grid power.
Sleek Installation
The Powerwall can be installed on the ground or against a wall. It offers an aesthetic, nonintrusive chassis in a slim design. Each Powerwall is just 5.75 inches thick, 45.3 inches tall, and 29.6 inches wide, giving it great versatility in placement options.
Long-Lasting Power
With any battery system, the capacity slowly begins to diminish year after year. The Tesla Powerwall’s 10-year warranty guarantees that your storage capacity will remain above 70% for the first ten years, lending a sense of security to anyone investing in energy storage.
Unlike older models of battery storage, the Lithium-Ion battery cells can be fully discharged to 0% without risking battery damage.
Solar Battery in Hawaii
RevoluSun has extensive knowledge of the various tariff programs and can guide you to the solution that best fits your facilities energy demand profile. We have designed and built systems that allow our customers to avoid peak electricity prices, by installing storage solutions that allow them to store and use battery power when the grid is expensive and only purchase grid electricity when the rates are lowest.
Reducing Electrical Costs
The greatest reduction in electrical costs when using a solar battery comes from the ability to run your electrical appliances from stored solar energy when the sun isn’t shining.
Whether it’s significant cloud cover, shading from trees, or just nighttime, a battery storage solution can use stored energy to keep your home running off-grid. With a sufficiently powered solar system, a solar battery can quickly refill during the day and have enough energy to power all of your electrical needs during the night.
But that isn’t the only way battery storage can reduce your electric bill. Battery storage can also make up the difference when your energy use exceeds the output of your solar panels. Running an air conditioner, for instance, can tap excess power from your batteries to supplement the power produced by solar panels.
This approach can lead to you paying substantially reduced costs during peak hours when electrical companies commonly charge extra to deal with high demand. When your solar batteries are charged, you’ll never have to worry about turning on energy-demanding appliances and costing a fortune on your electric bill.
Sometimes, energy companies will offer buy-back programs when your solar panels produce more energy than you use. However, this buy-back is usually at a discounted rate.
Storing your power for later use ensures you get the maximum return on your investment with a solar power system, and you can continue to sell your excess energy after your solar batteries are full.
Preventing Outages
Power outages due to downed power lines, storms, or floods can leave you unexpectedly in the dark.
Energy storage solutions offer a simple means of providing backup power while the grid is down, allowing your solar system to seamlessly deliver the energy needed to keep all of your electric appliances running until the grid comes back online. Battery storage can outlast even extended outages if sized correctly.
When the power goes out, your solar batteries can instantly pick up the slack and begin to deliver the full energy requirement for your home. There is no disconnect while you wait for your energy to kick back in — the transition is completely seamless.
Energy Storage in Hawaii
The abundance of sunshine and high energy costs make a solar battery in Hawaii a cost-effective solution for lowering your electric bill. Imported energy costs are nearly four times as high as on the mainland, making the need for a renewable energy source all too real.
Our tropical location makes solar power an abundant source of energy and allows solar panels to reach their peak efficiency, which means that battery storage can quickly be filled and provide power completely off-grid.
The average Hawaiian solar system paid for itself in just four years as of 2020. In addition, Hawaiian state tax credits are among the highest in the nation, greatly subsidizing the cost of solar systems in Hawaii.
New programs have recently been introduced which offer incentives for people who install a solar battery in Hawaii, adding to the multitude of reasons why solar power is so desirable in our state.
Programs and Incentives to Reduce Costs
Battery storage in Hawaii gives you access to several programs and incentives which can help to reduce your overall energy costs. In accordance with Hawaii’s goal to use 100% clean energy by the year 2045, the following programs have been put in place to subsidize your solar battery installation:
Home Battery Rewards Program
The Home Battery Rewards program offers direct, monthly incentives to offset your energy costs when you incorporate a Tesla Powerwall into solar systems in Hawaii. A single Powerwall will provide you with a $35 to $60 monthly incentive on your power bill, and the incentive increases for up to three Powerwalls.
This incentive is applied directly to your energy bill each month. If your electric costs are less than the incentive amount, the Hawaiian Electric Company will send you a check for the difference.
The Home Battery Rewards program started on June 7th, 2021. Incentives will continue to be applied up until June 7th, 2026, which can substantially reduce the cost of your energy bank installation. In return for these incentive payments, all you need to do is agree to have your battery storage available to the grid in case of high energy demands.
Battery Bonus
The Battery Bonus program offers a lump-sum payment for those who install energy storage in Hawaii as part of a solar system and agree to provide power to the grid.
After installing your system and having it checked, the program asks participants to make their stored energy available for 2 hours during the day every day until December 21st, 2023.
The amount of the payment depends upon how much energy you provide during those two hours and falls into three tiers:
- 850/kW for those accepted in the first 15MW
- $750/kW for those accepted in the next 15MW
- $500/kW for those accepted for the final 20MW
This program was put in place to provide 50MW of renewable energy for the grid and encourage the adoption of energy storage in residential or commercial applications. Applications for the Battery Bonus program will be accepted until June 20, 2023, or until the 50MW cap has been reached.
