At L J Norton Electrical, we take immense pride in delivering exceptional customer satisfaction and top-notch installation quality. Our meticulous approach to every project ensures that our clients are fully content with the performance of their systems. It's a source of great pride for us to have been chosen by Tesla as one of the pioneering companies in the country authorized to install their remarkable Powerwall battery system.
Here are the advantages of having a Tesla Powerwall installed:
- Enhanced self-consumption of solar energy: The Powerwall effectively stores excess solar energy generated during daylight hours and deploys it when your PV system produces less than your consumption demands. With a storage capacity of 13.5kW and the ability to charge and discharge at 5kW, it can power multiple appliances simultaneously, such as a washing machine and dryer, without relying on the grid.
- Time-Based Control: The Powerwall offers the capability to charge during off-peak electricity tariff periods (such as Economy 7, 10, or Smart Meter Tariffs) and discharge during higher rate periods. This feature eliminates the necessity for Solar PV if your property isn't suitable for it.
- Backup: With the Tesla Backup Gateway, homeowners can now maintain electricity supply during power outages. This feature also allows surplus generation from the Solar PV system to charge the Powerwall, potentially enabling "Off Grid" operation for several days.
- Storm Watch: The Powerwall now features "Storm Watch," which automatically charges it to 100% when a named storm is approaching the UK's shores. This ensures that the Powerwall is prepared to power your home in the event of a power outage.
Store excess energy produced by your solar system and access clean energy, day or night with Powerwall.
Use the Tesla app to set your electricity tariff so Time-Based Control can maximise the savings your energy system generates.
Time-Based Control uses your tariff to optimise when your Powerwall charges and discharges. Following your time-of-use tariff, Powerwall can automatically charge from the grid when electricity is cheap and discharge to the grid when electricity prices are high.
Depending on your tariff, enabling Time-Based Control can lead to an extra 40% reduction in your annual electricity bill, on top of your current yearly savings.
When there is less sunshine, combining Time-Based Control with a time of use tariff helps optimise Powerwall for maximum savings.
