Elon Musk Just LAUNCHED A Virtual Power Plant In Texas!

Tesla Inc. hopes to convert some Texas houses into "virtual power plants" after tests revealed that its home batteries can be swiftly tapped to relieve stress on the state grid. So, how Tesla is quietly expanding its energy storage business?

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution, where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multibillion-dollar companies.

And, let’s get started!

Tesla Energy, headquartered in Fremont, California, is Tesla, Inc.'s clean energy subsidiary that develops, manufactures, sells, and installs photovoltaic solar energy generation systems, battery energy storage products, and other related products and services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on April 30, 2015, that the business would apply the battery technology developed for electric automobiles to a home energy storage system named the Powerwall. Tesla acquired SolarCity for $2.6 billion in November 2016, expanding Tesla Energy's solar energy generation business. This transaction would prove contentious because SolarCity was experiencing liquidity concerns at the time of the acquisition.

Solar panels (produced by other firms for Tesla), the Tesla Solar Roof (a solar shingle system), and the Tesla Solar Inverter are the company's current power generation products. Aside from the Powerwall, the business also manufactures large-scale energy storage devices known as the Powerpack and Megapack. To support its hardware offerings, Tesla has created a software ecosystem.

In 2021, the firm deployed solar energy systems capable of generating 345 megawatts (MW), a 68 percent increase over 2020, and 3.99 gigatonne-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage devices, a 32 percent increase over 2020.

For the battery power storage, Tesla is offering Tesla Powerwall, Tesla Powerpack, and Megapack.

The Tesla Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery energy storage device designed for use in the home. The current Powerwall 2 generation can store 13.5 kilowatt-hours for solar self-consumption, time-of-use load shifting, and backup power.

A Powerwall system can consist of up to ten Powerwalls, which can be a mix of Powerwall+ and regular Powerwalls. To save space, up to three of these devices can be "stacked" front to back in regions where building rules allow.

The Powerwall+ combines the capabilities of a Powerwall 2, a Tesla Solar Inverter, and a Backup Gateway (a system controller and transfer switch).
Tesla no longer offers Powerwalls to consumers directly. They must be purchased in conjunction with Tesla or a certified installer's solar panel or solar roof systems. Furthermore, beginning in late May 2021, Tesla Energy will require all new solar panels and Solar Roof customers to purchase at least one Powerwall along with their system.

The Tesla Powerpack and Tesla Megapack are large-scale rechargeable lithium-ion battery energy storage devices designed for commercial or utility applications.

The Powerpack has a capacity of 232 kilowatt-hours and is intended for use by enterprises or small utility companies for peak shaving, load shifting, backup power, demand response, microgrids, renewable power integration, frequency regulation, and voltage management.

The Megapack is a containerized device designed for utility companies, generally as part of a battery storage power station, and can be used for renewable energy supply smoothing, voltage support, capacity support, microgrids, frequency regulation, and voltage management.
