The Tesla Powerwall 2 is one of the most advanced residential energy storage systems in the world, and the real magic behind it is the batteries. Tesla’s leadership in battery technology from the cell to the pack and into the finished products that utilize them highlights the fact that Tesla is truly not just an automotive company but really more of a broader tech company. Tesla’s batteries make their way from the company to consumers in a variety of form factors, including in cars like the Tesla Model 3 and stationary energy products like the Powerwall 2 and Powerpack.
Tesla has created a Powerwall Overview and Welcome Guide, but there are many features of the Powerwall that simply don’t come through in an introductory pamphlet. Digging deeper, Tesla published the AC Powerwall Owner’s Manual, which provides significantly more information for those willing or interested in looking behind the curtain.
