Powerwall FAQs
How does Tesla Powerwall work during an outage?
Your Powerwall will automatically disconnect from the grid in the event of a power outage and restore electricity in your home in a matter of milliseconds. Your rooftop panels will continue to recharge your Powerwall until the grid is up and running.
How many Tesla Powerwalls do I need for my installation?
Like solar panels, the number of Tesla Powerwalls you need will depend on your unique energy needs and habits—but for some customers, one Powerwall may be sufficient. Your solar advisor will help you evaluate your energy usage to customize a solar system that sufficiently backs up what you need. Request a free quote today.
Where will my Tesla Powerwall battery be placed?
A certified Tesla Powerwall installer will mount your Powerwall on the wall, usually next to your electrical panel inside your garage or outside your home.
How much does Tesla Powerwall cost?
You can make Tesla’s Powerwall a part of your home backup plan for as little as $0 down. Our monthly and full amount lease comes with worry-free performance and 24/7 monitoring and maintenance. You can also choose to purchase your system through Sunrun.

Can I add Tesla Powerwall to my solar system?
At this time, Tesla Powerwall is only available to new Sunrun customers. We can’t install Powerwall if you already have an existing solar installation or if it isn’t offered in your area.
What is the difference between Tesla Powerwall and LG Chem?
Storage capacity: The main difference between Powerwall and LG Chem is the battery capacity. Powerwall offers 13.5kWh of storage capacity for extended battery life, whereas an LG Chem battery offers 9.6kWh of storage capacity.
App experience: The Tesla app has a user-friendly interface available to Sunrun customers with one or more Powerwalls that lets you access additional energy insights.
“Blinkless” backup: Powerwall features "blinkless" outage transition, which guarantees uninterrupted power supply during outages, eliminating any flicker or interruption in electricity. While many solar batteries transition power within seconds, "blinkless" backup power means your clocks and router won’t reset.
Stacking: Finally, you can stack multiple Powerwalls in your new Sunrun installation to back up more or all of your home.
