Introducing Tesla Home: The ultimate upgrade for Powerwall you’ve been waiting for.
Homes are consuming more electricity than ever before. With the rapid rise of electric vehicles (EVs), heat pumps, and smart home gadgets, the domestic energy load is skyrocketing.
However, a major inefficiency remains: most of these high-load devices operate completely independently. Without coordination, homeowners are leaving both energy efficiency and financial savings on the table.
Enter, Tesla Home!
A game-changing update that brings every home energy asset into one single, coordinated system. And the best part? It is built into every Powerwall with no extra cost, no extra hardware, and no additional setup required.
At the core of the Tesla Home ecosystem is Opticaster, an advanced AI engine. Opticaster continuously analyses solar generation forecasts, household energy demand, and utility rate structures to optimise how every connected device runs in real-time.
Think of it this way: Tesla Home provides the vital communication framework and visibility across the entire property, whilst Opticaster delivers the intelligence and optimisation required to make smart, split-second decisions.
At the core of Tesla Home are two key features you and your customers are going to love.
1. Rate-Plan Charging (For all EVs)
This feature automatically schedules EV charging during the cheapest off-peak grid hours. The customer simply inputs their desired departure time and required charge level, and Opticaster manages the rest. Best of all, it works with both Tesla and non-Tesla EVs!
2. Charge on Solar (For Tesla EVs)
For customers driving a Tesla, this feature directs surplus solar energy straight into the vehicle’s battery instead of exporting it to the grid. Homeowners can set a minimum charge limit to ensure they always have a baseline range from any source, while any charging beyond that limit relies purely on clean, free excess solar.
With Tesla Home, the Powerwall range has never been more competitive. If you’re a Tesla-certified installer, log in to the Segen portal today to check live availability on the latest Powerwall stock!
