BayWa r.e. announced it will include Tesla's Powerwall through BayWa r.e. Solar Systems, the company's distribution arm in the U.S. This collaboration brings together Tesla's professional residential solar storage solution for a network of leading solar installers as they expand their roles into residential energy consultants.
The Tesla Powerwall helps reduce reliance on the utility grid by storing any extra energy generated by solar panels. This stored energy can then be used during times when less energy is being produced, like at night or during blackouts. With a 13.5-kWh energy capacity and a max load of 10 Powerwall's per system, homeowners can store up to 135 kWh of energy right on their property and become their own clean energy power plant.
"The addition of Tesla Powerwall marks an exciting milestone in our commitment to advancing the future of energy," said David Dunlap, VP of Product Strategy at BayWa r.e. Solar Systems. "By adding Powerwall to our best-in-class storage technology suite, our solar install partners can unlock self-generation for American homeowners all while reducing their electric bill and carbon footprint. We are excited to be chosen to collaborate in this effort."
BayWa r.e. will add Tesla Powerwall in California and is already working on expanding availability to other U.S. states in the coming months.
