What is the Tesla Powerwall?​

The Tesla Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery designed to store energy from your solar panels or the grid. This sleek, wall-mounted unit acts as your home’s personal power reserve, intelligently managing energy flow to maximize efficiency and savings.

Unlike traditional generators that rely on fossil fuels, the Powerwall operates silently and requires minimal maintenance. It seamlessly integrates with your home’s electrical system, automatically detecting outages and switching to battery power in milliseconds—so fast you won’t even notice the lights flicker.

Complete Energy Security
Southern Illinois weather can be unpredictable. From severe thunderstorms to winter ice storms, power outages are a reality our community faces. The Powerwall ensures your essential appliances keep running when the grid goes down—your refrigerator stays cold, your heating system keeps working, and your lights stay on.
Maximize Your Solar Investment
If you already have solar panels or are planning to install them, the Powerwall captures every bit of excess energy your system produces. Instead of sending that valuable power back to the grid for minimal credit, you store it for use when electricity rates are highest or when the sun isn't shining.
Smart Energy Management
The Tesla app puts control in your hands. Monitor your home's energy production and consumption in real-time, set preferences for how your stored energy is used, and receive instant alerts about your system's performance—all from your smartphone.

How the Tesla Powerwall Works

Unlike traditional generators that rely on fossil fuels, the Powerwall operates silently and requires minimal maintenance. It seamlessly integrates with your home’s electrical system, automatically detecting outages and switching to battery power in milliseconds—so fast you won’t even notice the lights flicker.

Energy Collection

During daylight hours, your solar panels generate electricity. Any power not immediately used by your home charges the Powerwall battery.

The Powerwall’s advanced battery management system optimizes charging and discharging cycles to maximize battery life and efficiency. With 13.5 kWh of usable capacity, a single unit can power essential loads for hours.

When you need stored energy—whether at night, during peak rate hours, or in an outage—the Powerwall instantly supplies power to your home through its integrated inverter.

In some areas, you can even earn money by allowing your Powerwall to provide services to the grid during high-demand periods, turning your home into a mini power plant.

Tesla Powerwall Features That Matter

Storm Watch

When severe weather threatens Southern Illinois, your Powerwall automatically charges to full capacity. Using National Weather Service alerts, the system ensures you have maximum backup power before the storm arrives.

Time-Based Control

Take advantage of time-of-use electricity rates by storing power when it's cheap and using it when rates spike. Many Southern Illinois homeowners save hundreds of dollars annually through strategic energy management.

Backup Power Priorities

Customize which appliances and circuits receive power during an outage. Keep critical systems running longer by allocating stored energy where you need it most.

Expandable System

Start with one Powerwall and add more as your needs grow. Whether you want whole-home backup or just essential circuits, we'll design a system that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Illinois Incentives Make Powerwall More Affordable

Southern Illinois homeowners can take advantage of several incentives:

Federal Investment Tax Credit. Claim 30% of your total system cost (including the Powerwall) as a federal tax credit. For a typical installation, this can mean thousands of dollars in savings.

Illinois Shines Battery Rebate. Ameren Illinois customers can receive a $300 per kWh rebate for battery storage systems. For a standard 13.5 kWh Powerwall, that’s over $4,000 back in your pocket.

Net Metering Benefits.
Store excess solar energy in your Powerwall instead of selling it back to the grid at wholesale rates. Use that stored energy when retail rates are highest to maximize your savings.
