Charge Your EV With Sunshine: How the Tesla Powerwall 3 Works With Solar Panels
What if you could use the power of the sun to help charge your electric vehicle? One of our recent ES Solar customers is making that possible with a Tesla Powerwall 3 battery added to his existing solar panel system!
Watch the video above to hear about his experience with ES Solar, why he loves his new battery, and how solar energy fits into his everyday life.
How Does the Tesla Powerwall 3 Work With Solar Panels?
The Tesla Powerwall 3 is a home battery that stores energy for use when you need it. When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home is using, that extra energy can be stored in your Powerwall instead of going unused.
That stored energy can then help power your home, including charging your electric vehicle, depending on your system setup and available battery power.
For our customer, adding a Tesla Powerwall 3 means having another way to put his solar energy to work and enjoy the benefits of powering his EV with sunshine.
4 Benefits of Adding a Tesla Powerwall 3 to Your Solar System
1. Store Your Solar Energy
Instead of using all your solar energy as it is generated, a home battery lets you save some of that energy for later. This can help you use more of the electricity your solar panels produce.
2. Help Power Your Electric Vehicle With Solar
Pairing solar panels with a home battery can help you use stored solar energy to charge your EV, even when your panels aren’t actively producing electricity. Your ability to charge from stored energy depends on your battery’s charge level, home energy use, and system configuration.
3. Enjoy More Energy Independence
With solar panels and a battery working together, you have more control over when you use your energy. Depending on your utility rates and system settings, you may also be able to reduce the amount of electricity you purchase from the grid.
4. Get Backup Power During an Outage
When properly configured, the Tesla Powerwall 3 can provide backup power to selected home circuits or your home, depending on your system design and available capacity. This can help keep essential appliances and devices running when the grid goes down.
