The growing number of homeowners seeking a Tesla Powerwall in Missouri and Illinois is due to the rising cost of energy. Pairing a battery with solar allows you to self-consume more of the solar energy your array produces. Additionally, it can protect against power outages and help save you money on your utility bills by stabilizing energy costs.
StraightUp Solar is a certified Tesla Powerwall installer. Popular for its backup capabilities and minimalist design, the Tesla Powerwall is one of three solar + storage options we offer. We provide a custom assessment of your home and energy needs to find the right solar battery storage solution for your family.
The Tesla brand is known for innovation. What makes the Powerwall stand out is its proven track record and outstanding technology. Tesla energy storage allows you to maximize your array to its fullest potential.
Your solar array absorbs the sun’s natural energy and converts it into usable energy for your home. Without a battery, the excess energy passes through to the grid. When a battery like the Tesla Powerwall pairs with your solar array, the excess energy from the sun fills your battery during the day so your family can put it to use after the sun goes down.
As a result, you use the sun’s energy for most of the day, reducing the total energy pulled from the grid and charged by your utility. The Powerwall connects to your system via a Tesla Gateway. This device monitors power in and out of the batteries.
When a Powerwall receives notifications from the National Weather Service, the battery automatically enters Storm Mode to ensure it’s fully charged before severe weather arrives. The Tesla battery backup provides a seamless transition during an outage.
Whether you’re looking to add on to you existing solar array or want a whole solar + battery solution, StraightUp Solar can get you started with a custom assessment.
Gain remote access to your solar energy production easily from your mobile device. The Tesla home solar app allows you to monitor your solar energy in real-time. Easily adjust your preferences to optimize energy independence, outage protection, or savings. Remote access and instant alerts let you control your system from anywhere.
In this webinar recording, StraightUp Solar Southern Illinois Project Developers discuss how the Tesla Powerwall works, how much it costs, and what incentives are available to help you offset the costs. Keep the lights on even when the power is out with solar and the Tesla Powerwall.
Every family and home’s energy needs differ from one to the next. Choosing the right battery storage solution can pose a challenge. Your StraightUp Solar Project Developer will perform a custom assessment and can suggest a solution that works for you. We currently offer Tesla Powerwall and Enphase iQ Battery systems. Whether you want to add to an existing array or are looking for a complete solar + battery solution, we have you covered.
Federal and utility incentives are available to qualified customers for all our battery options. For example, the Federal Investment Tax Credit recently increased to 30% of your solar array’s cost, which includes the battery and storage system you select.
Illinois homeowners in Ameren Illinois or ComEd utility territory can take advantage of a $300 per kilowatt hour (kWh) incentive. For the average homeowner considering solar + storage, that could mean about a $4,000 savings. The rebate application process is expected to open in December 2022.
